G4′s Olivia Munn Gets Naked, for the Elephants’ Sake

by Robert Quigley | 4:29 pm, April 27th, 2010

G4 presenter and widely-ogled “Hollywood Geek” Olivia Munn is no stranger to semi-nudity: She poses provocatively on the cover of her upcoming book, she regularly dons revealing geekwear, such as the obligatory Princess Leia slave girl outfit, and she even appeared in an issue of Playboy (though she was not naked in it). But carefully covered naked poses, that are designed to help the elephants? This is a first.

In an ad for PETA’s “Boycott the Circus” campaign, Munn expresses solidarity with the mistreated circus elephants, by not wearing clothes. From thence, once she has lured in the fanboys, she and PETA proceed to drop wrenching details about elephant abuse at big circuses.

From PETA:

Olivia explains, “When you look at something like the circus and everyone’s laughing and there’s color and there’s music and everything seems so great, but when you go right behind that door and they’re in these crates all day long and then they’re getting shocked and beat just so they can get up and dance around on a ball … it was just so sickening.” Please join Olivia in helping to stop cruelty under the big top and spread the word about this important issue to everyone you know!

    Call me a killjoy, but I don’t even think she’s all that naked. PETA cleverly avoids mentioning one way or the other, leaving the Internet to, uh, fill in the blanks themselves – and who’s going to want to believe she’s not naked? (Well… besides me, I guess. Sorry!)

    I thank Ms. Munn for getting naked. BUT she is WAY off the facts. She’s been brainwashed by someone who wants donations to PETA’s cause.

    An retired buddy of mine who worked with Barnum & Bailey more than 20 years gave me example after example of how well its animals–elephants in particular–are treated during shows, during transit, and during the off-season. He included a hilarious episode one pachyderm getting loose in a Midwest town before dawn, causing elephantine upset, until the event was truncated.

    In fact, B&B circuses temporarily hired a foreign “animal trainer” whom they then witnessed mistreating his animals. B&B promptly fired him and spread the word in the industry that he was a schmuck with his animals, making it hard for the abuser to find work till he reformed.

    PETA regularly exaggerates conditions they are watchdogging and areforming, just to get donations.

    Yes, PETA does a lot of good in other areas. They should continue to watchi this area because there are many small circuses. But they should also stick to the facts and not generalize boycotting all circuses because of some possible incidents.
