French anti-fur activists said they struck Anna Wintour, editor of the U.S. edition of Vogue, in the face with a cream pie on Saturday to protest against her support for the use of animal fur by the fashion industry.
Wintour, dressed in a fur-trimmed black jacket, was hit in the face with a tofu cream pie as she left the Chloe fashion ready-to-wear show at the Tuileries Gardens in central Paris, members of the group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) said.
It was the second such attack this year on Wintour, an unapologetic fur supporter decried by animal rights groups as a "pelt pusher".
"Wintour is fur-bearing animals' worst enemy because her magazine continues to feature dozens of pages of pro-fur editorials and advertising each year," PETA campaigner Yvonne Taylor told Reuters by phone in Paris.
"She takes big glossy advertisements for fur and she refuses to run any anti-fur ads, even paid ones, so she's a big fur supporter," Taylor said.
Wintour was unavailable for comment on the incident.
A tofu cream pie? Geez. These people are so awfully dim - and they have really bad taste in pies.
These idiots only go where they know there will be lots of media..fashion shows are prime time for these boneheads.
PETA makes me crave veal.
PETA reminds me to wish for just one cold day in LA (Lower Alabama).
"They would need a semi trailer full of pies."
What about the poor Soybean(Tofu)? They have rights too! Legune Lovers of the World Unite!!! Photosynthesis Eco Army Revolution (PEAR) is on your side!!! (ha ha).
Tofu would make someone fighting mad. Now, chocolate...
Yeah, well, you know what they say: A little tofu goes a long way.
I'd love to see these whiners go to Sturgis and try to pie some bikers. That would be some swell tape footage.
I have my mom's full length mink wrapped up in my closet. She quit wearing it when the nutballs used to shoot unsuspecting women with paintballs. I don't have any reason to wear one, so there it will sit.
From what I understand, Anna is a tough cookie, and there will be consequences for this.
Don't know what she could do since it happened in Paris, but I would sue the crap out of them if I was her. She has money to burn.

"I wonder why these PeTA folks never go to the Sturgis SD Biker Rally to protest all the leather being worn."
because they don't like pain, perhaps?
Bringing suit against them would only give them more press...Wintour has ignored the Peta freaks from day one, infuriating them as she refuses to cave....hence they have stalked her at every fashion show. Like I said in my first post - IMO this will only result in more ad space to furriers and more fashion spreads with fur clothing and designers who use fur... lol! Go Anna!
I wonder what Anna's contact phone # is? I raise goats and rabbits.
These activists eat too much soy. Soy is toxic to the human body when taken in too much amounts.
She should charge these people with assault. Surely she has body guards that can wrestle them or atleast citizen arrest.
"hence they have stalked her at every fashion show."
Don't they have jobs or lives of their own?
