Here we go again with more crazy antics from America's most beloved animal rights organization. This time around, activists have flocked to New York City to protest KFC and its so-called cruel farming practices. By placing a few scantily-clad beauties in a cage wearing yellow bikinis, PETA continues with its creepy 'women in a cage' motif. Above them waves a banner that reads: "KFC Tortures Chicks."

Ask any heavy metal concert promoter and he'll tell you, hot chicks in a cage always goes over well. Still, I don't know that PETA's latest stunt can hold up to Moby's new video where a giant chicken eats Colonel Sanders. It's awesome. The PETA event was supposed to have gone down yesterday in front of a KFC on 14th Street, but as of yet I can't find any evidence that it happened at all. Did the chicks chicken out? Or is PETA's love affair with the media starting to simmer down?

Usually I'd say that doing the same PR stunts over and over is likely to have diminishing returns -- but that's only if it doesn't involve nudity. They've had a pretty good run so far, but is it time for PETA to up the ante in order to keep drawing attention to their causes? Say something like full-on hardcore nudity, or public protest porn. People would probably show up for that.

Earlier this month, PETA put a half-naked pregnant woman in a cage in London to protest eating meat, but I think most people showed up just to check out the crazy pregnant lady. With all of their battles against exploiting nature, you have to wonder whether they're maybe exploiting a few women along the way.
