Trollsens Ambush Olsen Twins at Book Signing Today

Earlier 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.

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.

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?

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

"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.
