Olivia Munn's nude PETA ad calling for a circus boycott caused quite the stir on the Internet yesterday. To clear up a few things (like, um, why is she naked?), the lovely host of G4's 'Attack of the Show' -- who also appears in 'Date Night' and 'Iron Man 2,' natch -- chatted with PopEater via e-mail, even responding to one reader's query of how people can do more to help the cause.

What this Ad is really saying is, " let's all get back to nature as it was intended from the beginning". And Olivia Munn is suppose to be Eve. Adam (naked man standing behind her with a shoulder hiding his private) posing with her would had conveyed the message more clearly.

I think they're going for realism with the nude model, not mythology.
who cares WHY she's naked? as far as i'm concerned, what ever hair-brained product she's the spokes-person for, I want one!

Attack of the Show, Olivia Munn, hot, hot, hot!
Why cant she move her dam right foot to the left or right? Whats the point of her being nude if she cant show us something?
While Im on my soapbox; whats next; boycotting zoos too? Most people cant afford to go off on safari's to see these magnificant creatures. Thats why we have zoos and yes; even the circus. Many of us have enjoyed the circus for generations; and now you all want to put an end to that too.

While I do despise PETA (because people don't want to support a good cause while a bunch of nutcases are behind it), I do hate circuses. Zoos and circuses are NOT the same. A circus is about entertainment (solely) to see an exotic do tricks. The way they train them is brutal and cruel. A zoo is not just for entertainment of the public. It is a place of research and learning and many animals that are endangered are surviving primarily by research and captive breeding done in zoos. Zoos (AZA accredited, not crappy zoos) are wonderful learning tools. Not only does it help bring to light the importance of conservation but it also brings a lot of people out of their ignorance of a number of animals and animal myths.
So what if people can't afford to go on a safari? You don't have the right to abuse animals for entertainment. Circuses and zoos are entertainment. Period. This has nothing to do with a person's economic status. This has to do with the fact that it is immoral for Ringling to beat elephants. To confine elephants, tigers and horses. To chain their legs inside the train cars that they ride in. When you buy a ticket to the circus you are paying them to abuse innocent creatures. That is immoral and certainly not family friendly entertainment!
Hey Leila, a lot of the animals in zoos don't want to be there, such as elephants who don't appreciate such unnatural and confined spaces. You say that zoos bring "people out of their ignorance of a number of animals and animal myths" but I would disagree. Zoos present animals in the wrong context entirely--they perpetuate myths. You'd get more out of watching a nature show on TV. And why hate PETA--someone's got to do it. What have you done recently to alleviate the suffering of animals? It's because people are so apathetic that PETA has to use sex to get attention.
As for me, I find the foot and the placement of the knees very annoying.
...anyone who wants to watch an elephant dance in a tutu...or...a wonderful ,powerful, king of the jungle a lion...do tricks because he is so fearful of getting smacked with a whip...hasn't got a brain...Only low life would consider that entertainment.

I am PETA= person eating tasty animals,every cow I eat means less methane gas,I'm fighting Global warming one burger at a time.
and Vicki too;
Where is the indignant out cry, using a womans body to sell something (false). How base & self serving can you be?
This is just another example of PETA exploiting a stupid animal and not a peep out of feminity.
Seems to me a double standard.

...so original.....
Yes, a world of vegetarians would be a terrible thing, wouldn't it?
Typical of PETA, this ad is false and manipulative. The ad shows African elephants in the wild. The circus elephants are most likely Indian elephants. Smaller and far more docile than African elephants, they have been trained for thousands of years by Mahoots to do the heavy lifting in that nation. The idea she is selling is that by not going to the circus, there will be more elephants in Africa, which is simply false and misleading.

You think you could use the term--human beings--or are you one of those who cant force yourself to think in terms of humanity? I am sure your one of those PETA type women who have a one crack mind.

Yeah Olivia is all for supporting PETA. That is why she showed up for the unveiling of her billboard wearing a pair of leather boots. And have you seen the YouTube video of her eating endangered whale while she was in Japan? Save the elephants but eat the whales and wear the skins of cows.

Where is this? I tried to find it and nothing.
Elephants are highly intelligent and have a very close sense of family. They will go dead relatives and touch their bones. They are not stupid animals.
I do not agree with PETA yet I am all about animal rights. Quit going to circus's as the animals are beaten to submission. They only get out of cages to practice and perform.
its taking off ones clothes for attention, they think your stupid
