T.I. getting butt naked
Bosses at animal rights group PETA want rapper T.I. to bare all after he’s released from jail - for their famous I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur campaign.
PETA leader Michelle Cho has written to Prisoner 59458-019 at Forrest City Federal Correctional Institution in Arkansas, asking him to consider flashing his flesh when he completes his five-month sentence on firearms charges.
The request comes on the heels of reports that T.I., real name Clifford Harris, Jr., asked for advice from U.S. lifestyle queen Martha Stewart, who served a five-month prison sentence on federal charges back in 2004, about how to pass the time in prison.
Following her own stint behind bars, Stewart agreed to host a PETA video expose that addressed the suffering of animals on fur farms.
PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman says, "We’re asking T.I. to use his fame and his experiences to bare the truth about the fur industry by baring his skin."
In her letter to T.I., Cho writes, "We read that you looked to Martha Stewart for advice on how to pass your prison time and come out on top. Did you know that she agreed to narrate an anti-fur public service announcement for PETA because she experienced firsthand what it is like for the millions of minks, rabbits, and other animals who are confined to filthy sheds on fur farms?
"But unlike inmates, who are freed when they finish their sentences, these animals are beaten, have their necks broken, are electrocuted, and are often skinned alive for their fur. We hope that you’ll follow Martha’s compassionate example and become involved with our anti-fur efforts."
