Chad Ochocinco Poses Naked for PETA With Leather Football?

chad ochocinco peta ad There are many things very, very right about Chad Ochocinco and his new naked anti-fur campaign for PETA. But one thing about the photo looks wrong:

The self-professed animal lover appears with the tag-line, "Ink not mink: Be comfortable in your own skin and let animals keep theirs." Yet, as several critics have pointed out, he's covering his manhood with a leather football. Isn't leather made from animal skin?

PETA claims the ball used in the shoot is a non-leather football. But there are still some skeptics in the crowd ...

What do you think of Ochocinco's "Ink Not Mink" campaign?

About the author Kim Conte

has shoes that make people stop her on the street and ask "Where did you get those?" but it doesn't work for taxi cabs as she was hit by one ... and lived to tell the tale. She has more freckles than Lohan but way less attitude. And she's a fierce cook with tons of recipes to share -- and wishes she could share some with Bourdain.

I think that if they were going to use a 'fake' ball, then they should dress everyone else in fake fur. I have to say though, the foot ball barely registered.

Hmm. Previously, I have heard the argument from hardcore animal rights activists that even fake leather and fake fur are wrong, since they promote the idea that leather or fur is cool.
