Amanda Beard's Olympic PeTA campaign cancelled

Amanda Beard, the beautifull American swimstar switched her mind after fears for her safety in China. This is the next example of the freedom of speech in China. The PeTA campaign to give attention to the Chinese fur industry is cancelled. So yesterday Amanda showed the planned advertisement and that's it.

U.S. swimming star Amanda Beard was scheduled to unveil this sexy anti-fur ad today in Beijing on behalf of animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). The ad follows the familiar PETA campaign tactic of featuring nude celebrities who say they’d rather be naked than wear fur.
