Animal rights group PETA has never been shy about using near-nudity to sell its message, but today’s publicity stunt looked more like a crime scene than other recent demonstrations. We believe this was taken in Chicago, which might explain why no one seemed to notice.

Well, we think it’s a waste of good vegetables. Meanwhile, a demonstration in St. Louis also managed to look like a crime scene too, but surrounded by a handful of gawking witnesses.

We suspect they hold regular conversations.

Note that PETA’s publicity stunt was such a success that the group itself posted the “spotted in St. Louis” tweet. What a surprise!
