It should, however, occur to someone who is purchasing fur for their fashion line to question the origin of that fur (which was the point I was trying to make) especially considering that the fur is being imported from China - where the government doesn't give a **** about human rights, nevermind those of animals.

but I actually dealt with that issue in my last post


Sean Paul is a self indulgent asswipe but I really dont think he KNEW about the origin of his fur........Just like Kathy Lee didnt know about the sweat shops who made her garments...............I dont think holding him responsible is any smarter than holding Kathy Lee responsible.........

I think he had at least some idea of what was going on. It seems to me to be a classic case of money-grubbing businessman tries to pinch pennies by purchasing cheap goods from foreign markets, has it blow up in his face, then tries to do damage control by pleading ignorance. (Same to Kathy Lee)

And even if he didn't know, if he's going to blindly put his name on products and not bother to educate himself about what it took to make them, then he deserves every once of **** that gets flung in his direction from the media, activists, and the like.

Agreed. And this whole thing is absolutely sickening.
