Trollsens Ambush Olsen Twins at Book Signing Today

2008_10_trollsen.jpgEarlier today Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen appeared at a Barnes & Noble book signing, only to be met by PETA's Trollsen Twins, a two-some against the Olsens' use of fur in their wardrobe.

Okay, well maybe they didn't come face-to-face, but PETA's Ashley Byrne told OK! that the Olsens "can hustle in the back of a book signing and they can avoid these PETA protesters, a lot of who grew up being fans. But they really can't avoid the fact that when they make these ugly decisions, it shows and it turns off their fans."

OK! Magazine reports that the protesters held up signs that read: "Trollsens Fur Hags From Hell" and "Hairy Kate & Ashley Olsen: Fur Tramps." They also wore paper masks, which you can see up close on Peta's Trollsen website.

The problem with the Olsen twins is they share a brain, the one from Abby Normal, and I'm not a PETA fan.

The Olsen twins should be deported from NYC.

Place them on the same medication that Heath Ledger took when he decided to go back to heaven.

I can't decide if PETA or the Olsen twins annoy me more.

i still can't tell which one is which from that photo

"i still can't tell which one is which from that photo"

I think that was the idea, no one can in that pic or when you actually meet them in person but then who the f'k cares.

This may top the scales for stupidest article I have ever read.

yeh i know. i forgot to turn up the volume on my sarcasm typing abilities.

I like animals, but I would kick a puppy or eat a burger in front of their faces just to piss PETA off!

reminds me of that fur coat wearing movie starlet who when stepping out of her limo was confronted by some PETA drone who shouts...

"Do you know how many animals it took to make that jacket?"

Starlet shouts back..piss off honey do you know how many animals I had to fuck to get this jacket?

Dear PETA,

Go away.

Signed,
Everyone else

I thought the best part of the book release was when the anti-fur PETA protesters showed up, and one of them was wearing a fur-trimmed coat.
