Feb 14 2008Natalie Portman can learn from Paris Hilton? Ouch

shhoees

Her smiles always look like she's in some kind of pain.

OMG! I was 1st for the 1st time. Made my fuckin Valentine's

Her shoes should be made out of the skin of her family.

I bet her dress/elf outfit is made by the children of Malayasian sex slaves. And it totally violates the no-more-than-1-yard of animal print rule that everybody but hos know.

I agree, she does have a weird smile.

/looks like the shoe is on the other hand

The whole process is vegan from Natalie the spokesperson, the shoes themselves, and the manufacturing process. The Burmese children that work in the shoe factory are only fed water and 1/2 bowl of rice a day.

This isn't news. All vegans are neurotic and self-centered.

ewww she has no style! her shirt pants...shoes... so ugly!!!!

She was said to have a personal account on 'BillionaireCupid dot com' club with her hot pictures and blogs there. The site is getting hotter and hotter, cuz quite a few millionaires and celebrities tend to go there.

Christ, look at how bad she looks over such a short time from going Vegan

Vegans look worse than raging alcoholics, they preach how everything in food is bad for you, eat pasta and beans, blow up like whales, become anemic, and then look like shit

Is it just me or is Natalie Portman TOOOOOO good.

I think somewhere behind that facade is the dark side with a greater Evil than Darth Vader could ever imagine.

Who wears an animal print top to a launch of their vegan shoe line?

Ah, the old "I'm vegan and that is somehow supposed to be important" media trick. "Vegan" shoes are just any old crappy shoe that is not made out of leather (or any animal products). Instead they construct crappy shoes, in crappy overseas factories using crappy child labor. Yeah, save the animals!! Enslave the children.

Natalie Portman has the eyes of an emotional wreck. Her body's posture is rigid and she's uncomfortable; She'd be a clinger. No doubt.

I already placed my order for a pair of 'Portman's fabulous shoe socks' for three-hundred and sixty five dollars. I plan on tucking my cock in to my ass, wearing them once, to dinner, then saturating them in gasoline and setting them on fire. Then, maybe I'll take a warm bath and read a little Danielle Steel.

Ya' know, whatever.

#4! Ha-Ha-Ha!

Please, come back more often.

Midget convention must have gone long and made her late for her own opening.

Her shoes look boring. I can't wait until she does of malnutrition.

she is si beautiful. i like her very)
and happy valentines day to everyone

Funny how there are several comments here about vegans having really loud opinions and being overbearing negative, yet every nasty comment is being made against vegans. As annoying as peta and it'd can be, the negativity towards veggies is just as loud and unwarranted.

Screw the shoes. I want to bend that little doll over and plant some vegan friendly seeds....

vamoos took the words right out of my mouth.

Don't you fools get it ????? The meat and Fur industries pool their money together to hire the services of these douche actors and actresses to act so douchelly while promoting their vegan shit that it makes us all want to run out, buy a fur coat and chow down on a huge steak. It's a conspiracy I tells ya. Oh and yeah, Natalie Portman needs to shut up and become twelve again so I can go back to jerking off to her.

Patient: Jesse
Diagnosis: Douchebagus Giganticus Veganis
Treatment: Muscle relaxants to loosen up that chronically constricted sphincter; veal cutlet sandwich for lunch

19? Karina? May you have a wonderful valentines day as well. May you and Natalie prance thru a field of daisies and dance the dance of the hopefull and optimistice meatless vegan pixies. Then may you lift Natalie in the air in a celbration of beauty, only to break her brittle, milk free bones like twigs. As her broken body lands upon the daisies, they pierce thru her thin, malnourished flesh, turning her into a human daisy chia pet. Then you will think to yourself, "That serves you right for being such a sanctimonious, preachy little diva cunt."

ah yes. What will you think of her skinny, pasty beauty then karina?

@19 Y tu tambien Karina)

For an angry lesbian midget, she's done pretty well. Maybe she IS a decent actress.

Happy Valentimes Day!

Unlike Paris, Portman isn't a media whore who needs the attention to survive. She probably wanted to do these shoes because she was paid nicely and it was a fun project, and does the promotion reluctantly because it's an unfortunate part of it.
Paris probably did it ONLY so she could be out promoting the shoes, and doesn't give a damn about anything involving the design or anything else.

Hello Natalie. My name is Yahweh. You killed my son. Prepare to die.

Then you will take Jesse in tow, and teach him the ways of love. Unfortunately, Jesse's vegan commitments have made it quite impossible for him to insert his shriveled, necrotic one inch lust twig into your gaping tunnel of sugary vegan dessert. However will this passionate affair turn out, Karina?

Thank you Dr Superfish for helping to prove my point.

apparently vegans can still drink whine (jesse)

Jesse, I'm so sorry that we upset and disappoint you. How can we make you feel better? I know...here's a "hotdog"...open wide...

I like veggies!! What would a bloody mary be without the garden??

An ex-virgin?

"her vegan shoe line"

You mean her shoes don't eat meat/animal products? Thank god. My last pair of shoes ate my neighbors dog.

And Jesse, veggies are fine. Vegans are the freaks. Every vegan I have ever met has to throw it in everyone's face that they are vegan and don't eat anything that casts a shadow.

I can't believe how ignorant you all are in this comment area. I am vegan and am neither bloated or sick. To care about the plight of all living beings, ANIMAL and HUMAN is to see the world for what it really is in life. You all need to go and get an education instead of jerking off and making fun of people that do good things for this world.

Natalie always looks so uncomfortable and self-conscious in all her photos and movies. She should have chosen a different career. But there is nothing wrong with being a vegetarian or a vegan, no matter what the pork rind industry tells you.

Well, I'm not afraid to put my voice out there with Jesse. You all can respond with your witty, "I love PETA -- people eating tasty animals" comments along with your offers of veal cutlets and fur coats. Or your skewed assumptions that because one believes in the ethical treatment of animals that one must automatically believe in the maltraitment of humans.

I think it's great what Natalie is doing, although she could've been a little more dedicated in promoting it... Why do you all have to hate on it so much? What's so wrong with not wanting to wear cow skin on your feet? Lighten up.

@37 - just FYI

Vegan shoes mean that they're not made from animal byproducts (i.e. leather from cows). The shoes, indeed, do not eat meat/fish either.

Don't eat meat. I don't care what you eat. Do me the same favor. Don't worry about what I eat. Vegetarians don't, vegans do.

Jesse/Kelly/sandra/Erin (obviously all the same person) - you're only showing, yet again, that vegans are humorless. Pretend I'm Terri Schiavo (a vegetable) and eat me.

#38? Yeah, you're right, there are no carnivores in the Animal Kingdom. Eating meat is unnatural. Not to mention bad for you (especially your bones).

All animals love one another. The world's a beautiful place. Love, man.

You know that when you eat flowers -- or oats, tree bark, shrubbery, whatever you filthy vegans eat -- they were all living. The sun was shining and the plants were blowing in the warm summer's breeze; they were talking about the clouds -- look, that one look's like a cow; that one reminds me of my mother! It was a beautiful day in the field. Then the ground began to shake and a man appeared.

The man smelled like a closet. He was wearing a hemp shirt, beige capri cargo pants with a draw-string at the bottom of each leg, and disgusting sandals; he hummed a Doobie Brother's song as he came along pulling up all of the happy little plants by their roots: he killed them. You killed them.

11- i hate vegans.. but they wouldn't eat pasta. it is made from eggs.

If we're not meant to wear animals, why are they made of fur?
If we're not supposed to eat animals, why are they made of juicy, delicious meat?
If we're supposed to listen to Natalie Portman, why is she made of polyester leopard print and soy?

D. Richards - If it's the right of plants to live that you care about, again, you shouldn't eat meat. The amount of plants used to raise farm animals is hugely disportionate to the amount of vegetables humans would consume to survive.

I'm quite sure that vegans don't expect to convert anybody here. It's pure compulsion - recite the dogma, humorlessly, even if you're at a site explicitly designed for people to fuck around and have fun. But then again, all the zealots are like that - vegans, PETA folks, Scientologists, AA people, patients with severe cataracts ("Jennifer Love Hewitt isn't fat!")...

I guess if she's vegan then that means I don't have to worry about eating her out, I can just fuck her from behind. Damn she's got nice legs.

Kelly slowly lifted her head from between Erin's legs, showing the audience her moist, sticky lips. "Mmmmm, that's the kind of milky meat I like to eat" she cooed as the donkey brayed behind her.

You see, Kelly's vast knowledge of everything there was to know had brought her to this Tiujuana donkey show. In a true epiphany she had experienced the week prior, right in the middle of advanced vegan-knows-everything class, she realized what she needed to do. She would show her true love for animals.

Nude, Kelly got underneath the excited Donkey, threw her emaciated arms around it's back, and straddled................

....so wearing some man made synthetic shit is ok? Hey PETA, what about our environment you heartless bitches!! What about the Earth?? *sobs*

Seriously, what are those shoes made out of then? Anyone? And I think those shoes are boring as Natalie. Boo!!

#44
Eating meat is good for your bones? It increases the acidity of the blood, which in turn is bad for your bones. Calcium is necessary for bone health and there many sources of it. Plants do not have a central nervous system, but surely you know that.

Being a vegan can sometimes lead to vitamin B12 deficiency. This is why it's so much easier to become a vegetarian. What is all this talk about malnourishment when it's over-nourishment that is the real problem in this country. And even if you're not concerned with the ethics, go watch some slaughterhouse videos and see how healthy your diet is.

George Washington Carver made a car out of soybeans in 1928.

52. It's not just your central nervous system. I would get into cell reproduction comparisons between plants and animals. Also the stressfull effects of environment and tone on plant life, but it's too vast. Take a biology class. Look at some slides and get back to us.

Jesse,
See how defensive guilt-ridden meat eaters can get?

casa lapostolle?
nice chilean wine

Animals eat other animals fuckfaces. It's pretty arrogant to take on nature.

I guess vegans don't believe in oral sex since they don't eat anything with a face. That might explain why they're spitters too. I guess the little swimmers just freak them out.

#15, I totally agree & you are hysterical! I'm not vegan but it's probably a healthy lifestyle. Just not for me. Unfortunately I've found a lot of vegans {I live in a city where vegans are a-plenty} to be self-righteous, annoying and unaware of the cycle of life whereby EVERYTHING we eat, every meal, is at the expense of some other creature. It's called being in the food chain. I'm glad Natalie is making a shoe for them--I'm very live and let live. But I wish she would make a %#*damn decent movie again once in her life instead of looking crazy. Check out "The Professional" to know what I'm talking about.

#37 you say every vegan you’ve ever met throws it in everyone’s faces. However, that only accounts for the people that are loud about being vegan. It’s possible that you pass 100 vegans on the street every day, but you would never know they were vegan because they don’t advertise it. If you’re upset that vegans stereotype meat-eaters, why then do you sink to our level and resort the same stereotyping behavior? Not every Christian is a bigot, not every Muslim is a terrorist, not ever black person loves fried chicken, not every white is a bad dancer….. likewise not every vegan is a complete jerk about there eating habits. I’m why this has to explained, it’s not really that complicated.

...that being said, I love me some Jimmy Choo! But ya' know, I'd like to see animals treated humanely too, I'm all for supporting that. Being vegetarian {not vegan} or not having a steak for dinner every night can totally help the planet. Just sayin...

You people are so goddamn serious; every time I say something there's a couple of people that respond by combating my sarcasm with truth: I call those people assholes.

And, #44? Beef comes from the same animal as bovine milk, right? Right. I rest my case (penis).

And plants do have a nervous system. Yeahugh!

I meant, #52.

I'm sorry; It's just that I'm enjoying a 42oz porterhouse right now. It's positively orgasmic.

They didn't say plants don't have a nervous system, they said a CENTRAL nervous system, which consists of the brain and spinal chord. So, yes plants have a nervous system, no they don't have a central nervous system.

Of course you need to eat meat to be healthy. Just like you need to smoke a cigarette after a meal to help with digestion. But if you do get indigestion anyway, be sure to take some Iron Bitters - the best cocaine tonic there is. And don't forget to give it to your children to make them healthy and strong.

I predict that one day the plight of the hopeless veggies will soon be realized. In order to stop the slaughter of innocent heads of lettuce, turnips and the like, the vegans will go underground and only eat dirt.

JUST LIKE A HARVARD GRAD. DUMBASS. I BET SHE USED JET FUEL TO FLY IN.

Jesse? Are you vegan or vegetarian. You allude to both. Make up your mind.

Natalie Portman does all sorts of good charity work and doesn't need to get tons of attention for it (alla Jolie). She helps out with the Dian Fossey foundation in Rwanda which helps save the last 600+ Mountain Gorillas ON EARTH (as opposed to what, 6 BILLION people?), she works with women's groups in Uganda (I saw her there shopping at a crafts market) and she has a Vegan shoe line that doesn't destroy the earth or exploit people. With all the "could give a crap about anyone but myself" Paris Hiltons out there you'd think people would give Natalie a little credit. But no, just because she makes you feel a wee bit guilty (unintentionally because it's your issue) about scarfing down animal chunks, you have to rip on her. It's so dumb. It's like, who DO you look up to, Britney Spears?

Could all you vegans and vegetarians please go watch some fucking animal planet and familiarize yourself with the carnivorous reality of this world. Maybe if this was YOUR planet that followed YOUR rules we would all live on pixie dust but, that is not the way it works on planet earth. Widespread vegetarianism or veganism and animal (not a word I guess) would be an economic disaster (think of all the jobs and industries dependant on animals and animal byproducts), it would put huge strains on agriculture, I guess we’d have to forget about curing any illnesses, the scientific community would be in serious trouble, not to mention the animal population would be completely out of balance and there would be without a doubt many illnesses and medical conditions caused by malnourishment. Say what you will but vegetarianism is still controversial and many experts do NOT believe it can properly nourish a person. Malnourishment is an actual problem in the world and if ya don't know that then you may need to travel beyond your own backyard. Yes there are also a lot of fat pigs dying of gluttony but, malnourishment is still a HUGE issue. So even if we got past all those immense problems( I'm not saying we could) and managed to make the world a productive, balanced, and healthy society where all of humankind was vegetarian or vegan ANIMALS WOULD STILL EAT OTHER FUCKING ANIMALS! What is the point of believing in or promoting something that is not possible on a large scale and does not even follow the laws of nature.

Many people make the choice for ethical reasons but, it’s pretty hypocritical in the end because if you abstained from everything that was created through cruelty you would never eat or buy anything again. In the work force most employees are treated like shit, products are tested on animals (even medication and I’m sure there are some vegan’s out there who need medication), we have child labor and people are paid salaries that NO ONE can live on properly. That is unfortunately the nature of this world. Money overrides ethics and very few things are actually “cruelty free”. If animals are your personal cause, it is more productive to actually help them through organizations like the humane society or conservation/rescue efforts than to think you are changing the world by simply not eating something.

AND this vain bitch isn’t changing or helping anything but, herself. I would love to now how much the people who make her shoes are paid and how much money she is making from this noble cause (making shoes is so fucking heroic). Even if she does everything ethically she still is a fucking diva poser. Just like every idiot celeb who pretends to give a shit, they are all totally "hollywood" and they still fly home to their mansion, have servants who do everything for them and don't want us little people anywhere near them, they just want our hard earned money and once in a while they throw crumbs at whatever charity they pretend to give a shit about. They are not people who should ever be admired. “Go see my movie, pay attention to MEEEE, read my interviews where I whine about the pain of being famous and give way to much information about my personal life but, of course, after devoting all that attention to ME you must remember to leave me alone and give me my PRIVACY.”

If you still want to ignore the FACTS and need some vegetarian/vegan hero to look up to don't look in Hollywood because they are ALL soulless bastards and you'll find a far better champion for whatever cause you give a shit in your own town than you ever would in the town of lies and selfish bullshit. Now if you do live in Hollywood then don't you go worrying about silly little things like values, morals and ethics because you certainly won't need them out there.

P.S. I love animals and I hate the cruelty they are subjected to as far as I’m concerned the world could manage quite well without the fur industry, it would not cause a huge disaster and it is vain and pointless cruelty unless you actually live off the land, kill the animal, use the bones to make tools, and wear the fur for warmth. We all know that is not the case with little crack addict devil gargoyles; the Olsens or fat ass ego maniac bitches like Beyonce and J-Lo. Despite the fact that I care very much about animals, I also care a lot about logic and reality and I have chosen my morals accordingly. It actually helps to take the time to think about the entire picture rather than jumping to conclusions based solely on emotions.

So put that in your hippy pipe and smoke it and if any of you whiny illiterate bastards want to complain about the length of my post don’t waste your time I know what you are going to say and here is my response. This was not for you it was for me. Like a giant shit I had to release after too much chilly I needed to get this crap out of my system. My entire goal was to relieve myself and hopefully offend some pussy babies with the unpleasant and pungent odor of truth. So take a whiff and fuck off.

I was there. She was there for about an hour, not 15 minuted. And it was a 2-hour event, so I think she has the right to show up after it starts and leave before it finishes. The Post writer is just making shit up. Shocker!

#65 Ha! Too funny.

Also wanted to add that vegans/vegetarians don't necessarily dislike meat. Humans are naturally omnivores, after all. The problem is factory farming. Animals are subjected to horrific lives in inhumane conditions and even worse deaths. Not to mention the fact that SO much land is degrodated in order to graze livestock and more CO2 is released into the air by farm animals than just about any other source. It goes on and on.

And just remember next time you're biting into that tasty steak, you are eating all the pain and suffering that animal went through before he or she died. All that bad karma is going into your system. These are living, breathing, intelligent (pigs are smarter than your pet dog) beings that having emotions and feel pain (and have central nervous systems just like you and I). You are a part of their painful, terrifying existence.

I can't live with that so I choose not to eat meat.

Plus I won't be dying of a heart attack like you fat asses :)

Logic, animals that are slaughtered are raised speficily for that purpose, it has nothing to do with wildlife populations, it's not like cows will be running wild in the city streets. Vegans and vegetarians are only malnurished if they don't properly balance their diet ( the same goes for meat eaters by the way). You say you're also concerned about how much strain would be put on agriculture, most crops are used to feed livestock anyways, like 70% of it.... I stopped reading there because all of your "facts" need some checking., they seem more like assumptions than facts.

#72, #73.burungi Try reading #70.

Christ! Would you vegan dumbfucks stop using the central nervous system as a definition of what a living being is! Cells are living, dipshits. Plants have those!

Plus number seventy-three, you ignorant cunt (yeah, you probably are a guy. Only a little pussy would write like that). You may not have a heart attack, even though it's not garauntee because most heart disease is congenital. DO YOU EVEN FUCKING KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS! News flash! Your still gonna die! All living beings die! Geuss what else dies Einstein? Plants! You fucking veggie murderer!

God I hate stupid fucks like you! Stop with all the theatre and art and take a fucking science class!

#74. Honestly you aren't intelligent enough to understand the facts. Animals eat other animals and the reason you won't read the rest is because you can't argue it. You have no arguement for the financial problems, no argument for animals testing for medication, no arguement for all the heinous cruelty that goes into everything else the world produces. You have not taken the time to look at the big picture.

It's pretty cruel when lions rip the gazelle apart too. Wake up and face reality.

P.S. Plenty of animals are hunted in the wild dumbass all you idiots ever talk about is the cruelty on farms.

Thanks #70, an intelligent post once in a while can't hurt.

Jesse? Could you get off the soapbox and answer my question?

Natalie,

Please be my valentine.

Love, AC

I'm not intelligent enough to understand the facts? Well, I'm intelligent enough to attempt to have a civilized discussion with someone without having to resort to childish name calling and unwarranted personal attacks. I can argue the topic nature killing nature, but quite frankly it won't accomplish anything and I don't really care to discuss it with someone who conducts themselves in the manner you do. I'm out........ Oh, and by the way, its spell intelligent with an i, it would really help your case that your more intelligent than me if you could actually spell the word correctly.

Hey all you little pukes! Uncle Ted going to set thing right. You non-meat loving candy asses are pussies. You lazy meat loving fat asses are soft. Go git yourself a compound bow and git your asses out into the woods. Go kill some little tasty deer and eat that litte fucker right on up. His pain is your gain. Tastes really good. Then wear the pelts all you nancies.

I'm not intelligent enough to understand the facts? Well, I'm intelligent enough to attempt to have a civilized discussion with someone without having to resort to childish name calling and unwarranted personal attacks. I can argue all the topics you mentioned, but quite frankly it won't accomplish anything and I don't really care to discuss it with someone who conducts themselves in the manner you do. I'm out........

Two seperate message board comments there got mixed up in my haste of copying and pasting, the thing about intelligent with an i was meant for something else. My bad. Seems my intelligence is being challanged throughout the internet today. Now im out.

Hey, how could burungi send two posts with only 1mn interval ??? This site rejects me even if I wait 5mn between two posts !!!!

I am VERY tired of these celebrities who suddenly "design" perfumes, or shoes, or clothes. They suddenly feel entitled to "create". So they pay a bunch of professionals to do the hidden work while they get their pictures taken as the "creator". Who are they fooling ? I assume that designing a pair of shoes is no trivial matter, that it requires a decent amount of knowledge, that obviously these celebs don't have.

Jesse's a PETA plant. Notice how his response had no real substance in post 82? Oh Jesse! You are such a little scamp! Say hi to your PETA pals for me. Keep killing those puppies! The yipping really annoys me.

Jesse does have a point about using "i" in spelling intelligent.

My point is that anyone who has to veer to a side issue is already losing the argument. And my side issue is that if a person can't tell what is meant to be said because of the misplacement of a single letter then that person isn't very intelligent.

If you are Vegetarian, you have done so by choice, not because anybody forced you to do so. Your prosletizing is annoying as hell and your point is moot because once overpopulation kills off the animals, there won't be any to eat. Unless beef can be grown in vats. Anyone for a VatBeef Sandwich?

How much money does this flat chested woman need? In some ways it is good she is getting into fashion because her acting is wooden.

PEOPLE ARE NOT DESIGNED TO EAT MEAT.
Cold hard truth.
Yes, we have teeth, but the rest? Nope.
Don't believe me? Okay, lets see you go get a cow and just start eating it like it is. Sure, kill it first, but that's it. Go right ahead. I dare you.
Now, lets try this experiment with an apple from a tree.
Yum.

It's funny how people like to say, hey, animals eat meat!
And then go around and say, stop being such an animal!
People aren't animals! etc etc.
You know what? Oh, oh, NEWSFLASH!
Not all animals are carnivores.
Not all animals are omnivores.
In fact, there are many animals whom happen to be herbivores.
How SHOCKING! =O

Your cow covered shoes are also made in factories with child workers and all of that. Vegan shoes just so happen to lack one thing. The killing of animals.
And you know what? They look just fine.
I have a pair of vegan sneakers I got at Rue 21. They're cyan, yellow and magenta with black as well as gray accents.
And you know what?
I get a googolplex of compliments on them every single day.

You have more energy if you are a vegetarian.
True statement.

People make fun of vegetarians because they are secretly ashamed that they eat meat.
True statement.
Otherwise there would be no reason for omnivores to attack herbivores.
Actually, that's not a reason in itself, but people are just plain designed to be a--holes, so, that's how it is.
Plain and simple: you should NOT make fun of people for their beliefs.
Would you want someone to make fun of your religion?
Or the fact that you eat meat?
Perhaps you believe in aliens. That's cool.
Don't make fun of vegheads.
But if ONE of them (note one - as most are NOT crazy activists) happens to verbally attack you, by all means, stoop to that person's level.

You do not have to kill to be a vegetarian.
True statement.
Yes, you can if you eat root plants.
But you do not have to.

Sure, it seems pretty cruel how SOME animals kill in the wild.
Though, at least those animals actually got to be outside and have a life.
Rather than be locked up with no space to move and being fed things that they do not eat naturally to fatten them up.

Humans are not naturally omnivores.
I personally disliked meat before I knew it came from animals.
As well as our bodies not being perfectly designed for it.

Meat does not taste alright until it is cooked well and seasoned.
True statement.

Meat (including seafood) are often the cause of food-borne illness.
True statement.

Many people have died by medicine even after it has been tested on animals.
True statement.

I could go on, but I think you get the point.

-Lee
^_^

You know you've lost an argument when all you can do is attack the person's spelling. So Jesse didn't want to engage someone who called him unintelligent so he childishly attacked their spelling and ran off like a baby? Very mature. He supposedly has an argument to every point the other side brought up but he didn't want to waste his time? Right.

BTW everyone makes spelling mistakes so unless someone spells like a Hilton let's not bother with the spelling attacks please. Even the greatest writers in the world needed editors.

Even if animals do eat agriculture don’t for one second argue against how insanely complicated it would be to nourish the whole world without animals and animal byproducts. It would put a strain on a LOT of things, including my colon.

AND I hate bitches like Natalie who like to pretend that their shit don’t stink. Newsflash skank you’re a vegan, so your shit stinks worst of all.

#90. Honestly, wtf? This is the place to publish your dissertation? Nobody listens to the "musician" playing the guitar outside the Walgreens. Ditto re: long unfunny term papers posted here. Life - animal, vegetable, doesn't matter - you need to get one.

how does she seem uncomfortable? just because she isnt an attention whore,throwing her body parts around, doesnt mean she isnt enjoying herself. she's a great role model. we need more like her in hollywood instead of skeetzy sleezy types.

#92. Honest, wtf? This is the place to reply to people who have made comments.
I did just that. You did just that.
How are you failing to comprehend that?
I have never heard nor seen a musician outside of Walgreens, but if I did, I'd give a listen.
Unfunny? Huh, I don't recall starting off my comment: THIS IS MEANT TO BE FUNNY. It's actually funny how people always put things down by calling them funny. What is it to be funny? Try reading Emerson's "The Comic" if you have yet to. It's pretty interesting.
It's also interesting how people always like to say things along the lines of "get a life" to people whom them have never met before in their life (or lack thereof). You are here, the same as I am. Therefore, logically, if I have no life, neither do you.

#90? Our bodies have been conditioned not to eat raw meat, slick. And besides, processed meat comes in contact with all sorts of bacteria at the slaughter house; you slice a Woolly Mammoth's guts out with a spear -- that's some fresh meat. (That's the best meat: guts.)

You think early humans cooked their meat thoroughly? Of course not.

They should have though: it's just so yummy! Medium-rare!

P.S. You're an idiot.

#93 - I agree!
To any calling Natalie Portman uncomfortable, so what? A lot of celebrities are shy or reserved, believe it or believe it.

Genius you are the stupidest person on the planet. You have no arguments based on medical facts, on economics, on the reality that almost everything we produce in this world is produced through cruelty. You can't live without consuming things created through cruelty. Go take a look at how some people are treated in the work force and don't you dare tell me that in your home you own nothing created cruelly or that you don't live on land that was taken from natives. You can waste all of your life trying to abstain from things that were garnered through cruelty or you can quit wasting your time and do something more just live a life of avoidance. Many animals are carnivores many are not (what is this kindergarten, no shit Sherlock). No we aren't animals but, we are mammals and we still live on this planet where nature is the boss and nature makes the FINAL rules, not brainless little people and in the end you've got to have respect for that.

Yes, Cro-magnon man. Be picky.

Order your meat cooked. It tastes better that way; would you like an appetizer?

Sure: Cooked food tastes better, but this is coming from a person that goes to a restaurant and has some black cook make her food for her. You're not starving. You don't have to kill daily, just to survive. You're picky, bitch.

Goddamn you're a fucking dunce, #90.

googolplex? Seriously. You're gay.

#97
How am I "the stupidest person on the plant"?
You have no facts to support such rubbish.
I have no arguments based on medical facts and etc?
Of course I don't. That is because I had statements based on medical and scientific facts. I could add some on economics you would wish me to.
Just because so much in this world is produced through cruelty does not make it correct. There are a lot of murders daily. Does that make it correct?

Yes, people are treated poorly all over. It's extremely unfortunate. It definitely needs to change. Anyone who denies that I am very afraid for. How do we change this? By starting small (ie: not harming animals, anyone?). I'm not sure how much smaller you can get. You honestly cannot expect to stop harm to people all of the sudden. You need to start somewhere.

"Many animals are carnivores many are not (what is this kindergarten, no shit Sherlock)" HA! I thought the same thing, which is EXACTLY why I wrote what I did. It's ASTOUNDING how many people on here have stated that "animals are carnivores" and other such variations.

I have respect for that. I have no respect for you however, as you have attacked me with no good reason. There is no good reason to attack another.
Plain and simple truth.

#99
How does my use of words lead you to believe that I am "gay"?
And what would my being gay have to do with Natalie Portman and her vegan shoes?

#98
Please explain to me how I am a dunce.
I must be one serious dunce as I honestly did not know that I was one, but, apparently am one as you have so wonderfully pointed out.

Uh.....nothing. You're gay. Based on writing like a fag. fuck Portman and her shoes.

@90 "PEOPLE ARE NOT DESIGNED TO EAT MEAT."

Ok I don't give a fuck about this back and forth about eating or not eating meat, but WTF? I mean Genius seriously, WTF? Take a look in the mirror and look at your teeth. Your dentition is designed for biting, cutting, and chewing flesh. If you choose not to eat meat, go ahead I don't give a shit. Just make a correct statement.

#103.
Well, in fact, I am not gay. I am panromantic, however.
I did not know that "fags" have a special way of writing.
It is fine if you do not like Natalie or her shoes, but then, really, there is not much point on bothering to read comments as to herself and her shoes. Unless you were just here to look for gay people based on their writing, which, you know, is cool and completely fine with me.

"cyan, yellow and magenta"? Dude. Magenta? I don't even know what that is! Just the fact that you describe the sneakers so vividly sets off alarms.

Plants with roots? What the fuck? You only eat fungi? 'shrooms.

Oh shit. 'Shrooms. That makes a lot of sense.

#104
If you do not care about it, why get involved in it?
Other people obviously care, which is why they are here.
People are not going to stop simply because you, yourself do not like it.

I could say the same to you, about making a correct statement.
My statements were completely correct.
Allow me to elaborate: you do in fact need teeth to eat a full variety of plants.
Gorillas just so happen to have large canines, and, in fact, do not eat meat aside from insects. Pretty interesting, huh? Learn something new every day. Now how about taking a look at your digestion tract and tell me how well it is to eating meat.

#106
It's pretty sad that you do not know what magenta is. I only say sad, because, personally, I love colors. Are you color-blind by any chance? Or did the amazing schools of my wonderful country fail to give you art instruction?

Alarms? Well, I happen to like clothing. I mean, after all, this whole Natalie Portman thing IS in fact about shoes, you know.

All plants have roots. What I meant was that, eating potato, carrots and such is killing the plant itself. Some people say it is hypocritical to not eat animals if your reason is to not kill them, but to kill plants. It is, however, possible to avoid killing plants and yet eat them.

I do not eat much fungi. I hate mushrooms, actually.

Hey genius. Caught you. Gorillas and chimps occassionally eat meat. they just have a hard time catching it. Plants are easier. Look it up. You seem like a nice kid. Just try to investigate a little more. got nothin' but love for your philosophy though.

#109
Hm, I've never heard that.
Is it true with all gorillas and such?
Or do they just eat it because they kill it and figure they might as well after feeling threatened by said animal?

You know, it can be hard for lions and such to catch meat, it takes a lot of work, and yet, they still eat it.

Don't know why they eat it. They just do. Just sayin'. Who knows?

Ah, well.
There's still other animals that do not eat meat, it was just a quick example based off the fact that they do not hunt. But it seems strange that it would be hard for them to catch it, since some can move pretty fast.
It doesn't bother me, the fact that some people and some animals eat meat.
I just don't like the way it's gone about, personally prefer a healthier lifestyle and disliking meat.
But it deeply bothers me how unaware people are of all of the things that have been brought up right here on this page.

#95
Somehow your comment slipped past me!

Do you know much about our digestive tract?
And do you know that animals killed in the wild can have all sorts of diseases?

Perhaps I'm NOT the idiot.

i'm not vegan, but seriously - literally hating someone because of what they eat? the world really is fucking off its head

#13 - very good point!

my point wasn't clear (not that anyone should care but someone will nitpick it no doubt) - i was sticking up for the vegans.
(the ones that don't preach, and there are plenty that don't preach. so stop with the pathetic generalisations)

#114
You know, it really is pretty messed up. But, that's how people are. Go figure.
They like to find any reason they can to hate someone. To hate differences and form their little groups so they can be a part of something. Insecurity seems to contribute a lot to this.

(and #13)
Animal prints are pretty stylish. And they are a way of showing love for the beauty of animals, without harming them. =P

She was said to have a personal account on 'BillionaireCupid dot com' club with her hot pictures and blogs there. The site is getting hotter and hotter, cuz quite a few millionaires and celebrities tend to go there.

Genius, I'm intrigued. What does panromantic mean? No insult or disrespect, I've just never heard that word before, can't even find a definition anywhere. Maybe I'm one too, can't wait to find out!

I predict that one day, the killing of those poor defenseless veggies will stop and that vegans will be reduced to eating dirt so as to stop the senseless slaughter of innocent turnips, lettuce heads and the like.

I plan to join them, I can't stand hearing an onion scream......

haha! people are so damn volatile on this whole "comment" shit. Lee, or #90, or Genius, or whatever was just speaking what was on their mind. who really cares if you agree or disagree? i think people only make themselves look like completely idiots when they try to diss others (i.e., #90) by calling them "gay" or "faggots". haha! how dumb.

natalie portman is cute.
her vegan shoes MAY suck, but who cares? you don't HAVE to buy them.

#118

Panromantic
As in Pan- standing for being able to fall in love with a person regardless of their sex or gender, but for who they really are:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pansexual

And -romantic, instead of -sexual standing for asexuality:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexual

Thanks, Genius, for clearing that up. Does it mean you can be in a romantic relationship, with a male or a female, but be celibate?

It just seems sad that a post about something good -- a celebrity creating shoes without using animal products -- became a bashing of her personal ethics. Who cares if she chooses to abstain from animal flesh and byproducts? More power to her for having the means -- her celebrity -- to accomplish something she believes in. I just bought vegan boots and they rock. I'm not vegan; I enjoyed my burger two hours ago. But I haven't seen Ms. Portman denouncing our beliefs, so let's leave hers alone and hopefully enjoy some cute shoes.

Nah, on second thought, that's probably way too simplistic of an idea, and yet also way too complicated. I usually just call it a non-sexual crush, like the one I have on Reese Witherspoon. (I love her style and her un-Hollywood attitude) I think that phrase comes from an episode of Seinfeld.

really, a vegan footwear line? she is hot as all hell but one nutty fuggin jew.

Adding to #70. The only reason people are vegans is because they feel guilt about the cruel way that animals are treated so instead of really doing anything to stop it they just don't eat animals and that way they can burry their guilt and not feel connected to the vulgarity. Just like when someone gives a homeless person some change, it's not for the homeless person, it’s for you, you are paying 2 bucks to get that image out of your mind so that you can go back to your home and not feel guilty that you don't live on the street.

The argument for vegetarianism is mainly that animal are brutally slaughtered and people find that cruel so they choose not to eat that meat because they consider that as participation in the cruelty. But we all participate in things that are connected to cruelty. The clothing that you own, the jewellery you wear, vegetables that you eat; in each case and infinitely more employees are treated disgustingly so that those things can be produced and they are paid salaries that no one can live on. The medication that has cured you or that you require to live was discovered by testing it on unfortunate animals. Your make up is tested on animals. The airplane you travel in emits dangerous pollution. The country you live in has attacked another country and you pay taxes to the government which allows it to do its bidding. So every proud boisterous vegan is a hypocrite. We all buy, use and are a part of something that has been touched by immense cruelty. So as you brag about being vegan try to explain why that sapphire ring you have was worth a South African with a family to care for being paid barely enough to put food on the table and why he should have lost his life mining fucking jewels for spoilt brats. Also explain your moral superiority to people who spend their lives working for mining causes. The thing is you'll never accomplish anything in this world if your solution to just not consume or purchase things that are made, produced or garnered in a cruel manner. You also can’t defend your ethics if they are completely contradicted by other things you do choose to consume. In the end abstaining isn’t accomplishing much and the only people you are punishing is the little people. Who do you think big companies fire when they loose business or loose a lawsuit? They fire the little people who just need a job to make ends meet who aren’t parts of some big maniacal evil selfish plot to make money no matter what the cost knowing the cruelty they inflict, it’s just everyday people who are trying to care for themselves and their families.

I refuse to be held responsible for other peoples actions if I did I would never be able to do anything because anything I touched at some point came in contact with cruelty. I simply choose to live my life and instead of wasting time making sure that everything I eat or wear is cruelty free I am going to work for causes that I believe in and actually do something a little more productive than just avoiding the guilty by association consumer bullshit.

Also as a person with a medical background I and the many doctors I know firmly agree that a vegan lifestyle does not provide adequate nutrition. So you can argue that all you like but, there is no final, unlike the world being round, it's all still under debate so you cannot win that argument as long as people far more educated than you say otherwise.

You’ll find in this world that those who actually do something productive rather than simply attempt to disassociate themselves with everything they think is negative (which again is impossible) lead far more moral lives and contribute far more to the betterment of society. If your only reason for being vegan is cruelty than you have a lot of explaining to do to all the people who are treated inhumanely making other products you use on a daily basis. Also you should consider giving your home to the natives that really own the land it’s built on.

No truly intelligent person behaves and moralizes based solely on emotion, that’s the mentality of a child and if you did so you would live in a field, naked eating nothing but dirt and spending all your time making sure that when you walked you never squished a bug or a worm and then you would die of malnourishment, pretentious bullshit and immense uselessness. Or instead you can choose to get the fuck over yourself realize that there are many things you can’t control and focus your energy on living a life that REALLY helps rather than one that just absolves you of guilt.

@126 You stupid cunt. I have no fucking clue what you typed. I just see there is a lot of it. I normally look forward to seeing twat comments during my morning coffee. tonight I have to come home from a bender and see that fucking screed. Fuck all, if that is not some gay ass english twat writing that shit, I'll be damd. Fuckhead.

#113? 'Genius', you are a great example of a white, semi-educated slothful American -- you argue a point even when you have no real information, nor real truth, and are wrong -- Do you have any basis for you allegations? Of course you don't. I'd like to see where you get that bullshit hippy information from: people aren't designed to eat meat. Right.

My point was not that animals that are killed by predators in the wild, are save from disease, that's preposterous. A lion isn't going to contract cancer, or whatever other inherent disease an animal may possess. Those illnesses aren't communicable. Slaughterhouses, on the other hand, are virtual drive-in movies for the breeding of bacteria. This is because the meat comes in contact with the air for extended periods of time -- and we all know, you especially, 'genius', that air aids in the development of bacteria.

Further, meat contaminated with bacteria after being butchered is not the same as a living animal that is infected by illness. You, being the 'genius' that you are, genius, should know this information, genius; you twisted my words, cunt.

P.S. You're an idiot.

Hi, guys, nice discussion. But it is Valentine’s Day now; I don’t want to be alone. Would love to enjoy hot dating with me? All can view my hot photos and videos at multiraciallove.com No matter whom you are and where you com

"if any of you whiny illiterate bastards want to complain about the length of my post don’t waste your time I know what you are going to say and here is my response. This was not for you it was for me. Like a giant shit I had to release after too much chilly I needed to get this crap out of my system. My entire goal was to relieve myself and hopefully offend some pussy babies with the unpleasant and pungent odor of truth. So take a whiff and fuck off." I've said it many times for eg @70

When I come here I get to let out all my frustratiions like a big pile of butt porridge so of course I feel great and then on top of it I get to annoy little high strung whiners? Thank you cunts. It's just too easy pissing some of you off.

#129. Funniest post of all.

#125 summed up the caliber of most of the people who decided to attack everyone on the website. May I remind everyone that it was the ignorant and mean spirited ones who started attacking personal beliefs. Those same people went on to call people "fags," "nutty fuggin jews," and various other disgusting names. I am so glad I will never have uneducated low lifes like that in my circle of friends (yes a lot of them eat meat and they respect my beliefs and vice versa). Of course as you can see from this board most of the idiots who decided to resort to childish name calling from the beggining are probably

A.) Not married
B.) Think they have a shot at dating the images on this website.
C.) Haven't had a date since 1991 (at least)
D.) Spent all day thinking up the clever quips.

Basically I am sorry I ever came to see if people had intelligent things to say. The fact that you could say such horrible things from seeing an article on a very intelligent woman makes me sad, but happy that your type of ignorance will lead to eventual oblivion. Your ignorance will eventually die out! I hope you find peace and let go of all of your hatred.

#132? Fuck you, you 'Nutty Fuggin' jew' vegan lezzie (fag).

#122
You can be in a romantic relationship without minding whether the person is male, female, trans, or genderqueer, and rather caring for the actual person themselves.
You can be celibate, just not have sex for reasons non-religious, but then again some do, but usually only if they are in a relationship with someone who isn't asexual (-romantic).

#126
You're a tad bit EXTREMELY close-minded. Not everyone is like you.
I definitely do not fit into what you have written.
Sorry you wasted your time on that.

#128

I'm black, educated and certainly not slothful.
Glad to break your stereotypes.

All I have said are truthfully based off of scientific facts. You'd know that if you bothered to look up this information rather than name call and go about this like a child.
Let me help you comprehend all of this: it's scientifically proven that exercise is good for you. Many people do not exercise, despite the information relating to it's many benefits. It's the same with being veg. - there's plenty of information to support it, but people just don't do it. There is no other reason, it's not bad for you, it's not wrong, it's not lame, or whatever. It's just that. Have you finally been enlightened? Can you now grow up?

Of course not, but there's a hell of a lot more than cancer out there, and that which can actually be bad for you. I'm not even sure why you brought that up. It's kind of like you are trying to get away from the subject for some odd reason, I wonder why that could be.
You said to kill a mammoth with a spear - that's not a lion, that's not a slaughterhouse. That's a person hunting. Those animals that person kills can have diseases. And on that point - hunting is sure a hell of a lot better than factory farming and slaughterhouses and all of that. And of course at the slaughterhouse there's going to be a lot more bacteria. What does that have to do with anything? You are merely supporting a vegetarian way of life.

P.S. Your silly words mean nothing to me.

Genius, you are not.

It is a fact - definite and indisputable that humans were designed to eat meat.

Perhaps you have eyes on the sides of your head, rather than the front, or perhaps your body cooling system works through panting rather than sweating, or maybe your digestive system won't process raw meat, and your teeth won't tear flesh. Perhaps it is untrue that your exceptional ability to communicate with other human beings means that you could take down an elephant or a whale. In every way, you are more a predator than prey.

You are in denial. Accept the fact that you are an incredibly efficient hunter and killer.

Incredibly efficient hunter? Yes, with a weapon. Killer? No, I am not.

It is not definite that humans were designed to eat meat. I seriously suggest you read up on this matter as I have, as to not be ignorant on the subject if you wish to speak about it.

Incredibly efficient hunter? Yes, with a weapon. Killer? No, I am not.

It is not definite that humans were designed to eat meat - or dairy, at least from other species. I seriously suggest you read up on this matter as I have, as to not be ignorant on the subject if you wish to speak about it.

#13: You're right. some Vegan she is, with the animal prints. most vegans wont wear anything resembling animal, even if its blatantly not made of animal products.

and im sorry but most vegans ARE self centered divas. vegetarians, however, are cool mofos.

FUCK U, SHE RULES. go back to making fun(and beating off to) sluts with no point. You know noting about the reality of the cruel world she is countering.

Boycotting this site! U SUCK.

#140

You obviously do not know many vegans.
Please open your mind and stop stereotyping.
Obviously I could say most carnivores are assholes. At least I have some proof right here. But I know it isn't true because it just can't be. You can't base the word off of one person you might have known.

Oh my god.. Genius are you that bored with your life, that you have to spend every second arguing your point? Seriously I enjoy reading this sites comments for the sarcasm and humor and your definitely ruining it.. GO TO BED OR SOMETHING

#143

No, I'm just bored now and then, actually.
I do graphic design and illustration on the computer.
Therefore, I use the computer quite a bit.
If I have a minute to spare or am suffering from 'artists-block' I'll come check this and several other sites out. Is that such a crime? I think not.

I'm sorry that I am ruining your life. But that isn't my fault and I will not stop for you, you don't need to read every single comment, you do not need to enjoy every comment. It would be nice if you and others like you would come down off your imaginary pedestals.

Go to bed in the middle of the day? I think not. I will do as I please, and you will do as you please, but it would be kind of you to not tell others what to do. If you think that going to bed in the middle of the day is such a fine idea, by all means, go right ahead.

i'm proud of natalie for being vegan and having sympathy and love for animals. i admire her. i did like this blog as it is really funny at times. but there is no need to bash someone for being vegan and knowing that animals have rights too and don't deserve to be mistreated by humans. i'll rethink going on the superficial site, and use that time to do something useful. to all the negative posts about natalie's line of vegan shoes-take her lead and do something productive that you enjoy, and it doesn't hurt if it also might benefit someone besides yourself-animals, charity. etc.

I stopped eating meat over a year ago, after a biology propfessor of mine stated that meat putrifies in the body for about three days. Not many people know that about me. Who would have thought that I would be able to give up bacon cheeseburgers. I actually feel much better now ever since I cut meat out of my diet.
Here are some things I have noticed after I cut out meat...I don't deal with "digestive problems" that much now(a few years ago)..I feel more energetic, the postnasal drip is gone and my breath is not that bad in the mornings(yes..i brush and floss twice a day). There is also that saying "You are what you eat." Apparently you smell better too....if you cut meat and possibly dairy products out. ; )

In an economics class I took, I learned about all the usual stuff regarding the meat industry......how all those extra cows contributes to global warming, how most crops and tons of water are used to feed the cows, and how all that extra food and water can be used to feed many hungry people through out the world ...rather than feeding cows to keep the beef addicts happy. Oh and about malnutrition..vegetarians deal with that if their diet consists of too much "junk food" but a plant based diet is the best. There have also been studies conducted about osteoporosis and dairy products....there are lower rates of osteporisis in countres where people don't consume that much dairy products. It's all propaganda.

Also....someone mentioned tha thumans are not designed to consume meat. That person did mention how are teeth are designed. There are other things to wonder about like... how we lack certain acids in our stomach to digest meat ...which true carnivores have. We also can't eat raw meat the way true carnivores/omnivores do......they kill and eat; whereas, we have to dismember...cook....and season dead animals before we eat them. Our digestive tracts are are much longer than carnivores, which is why it takes much longer to get all that stuff out of your systems. I mean there really are many vaiid points that vegans/vegetarians can come up with...and back up with evidence. We try to seek them out...or we cn take the the time to actually find scholarly articles to read regarding the issue...and try to be unbiased.

People mention that animals eat other animals.....no.....not all animals eat other animals....and we start messing with the food chain when we get into mass production and artificially inseminating cows...etc.

I don't blame Jesse for not wanting to argue with people that resort to name calling /insulting rather than engage in a civilized debate.

Animals treat each other better than how humans treat other humans/animals.....and humans have the ability to reason. hmm

The articles, "Animal Liberation", by Peter Singer, and "A Modest Proposal"(a sattire),by Jonathon Swift are good. Both of them can be found in a book called "Current Issues and Enduring Questions" By Sylvia Bartnet and Hugo Bedau.

oh and logic....I swear....you have a twin in New England. The person has the same mentality as you do and he that is very similiar to yours. All this time I thought he was one of a kind.

"writing style that is very similar to yours

I don't get where people are getting the whole "she looks uncomfortable" thing? I feel just the opposite, every time I see her pose for pics she looks very practiced and calculated to me. I think Portman really eats the attention up just as much as any other attention-whore celeb, she's just got her whole "reluctant superstar" schtick to uphold.

Oh, so nice discussion, and so reasonable comments Everyone should check out my upcoming show with my fabulous friends!. Check out my website! interracialsingleonline.com for interracial love and relationship.

I wonder if this discussion would have taken a different tone if the largest beef recall in the history happened sooner. Instead of mocking animal right activists, people should realize how much they actually benefit from their actions, in terms of food safety. What happened at the Westland slaughterhouse is typical, the USDA failed once again, and this will continue to happen if people remain so callous.

hmm. amimals eat other animals. animals also often eat their own offspring when they've a mind to, but we don't do that. if, as a society we followed every single thing animals did the debate on eating meat would be slightly different, but as it is i dont see that as a justification.

as for the shoes, how do u know they were made by burmese children? thats just an assumption. and lots of leather shoes are now made in chinese sweatshops too. shoes can be both non-leather and union-made. natalie works for human-focused charities as well and i don't think she doesnt care about human beings. she does seem v self conscious but thats a dif issue. i dont judge anyone for eating meat, i dont see why personal diet choices need provoke angry debate and name calling.
