Mr. McCartney what were you thinking?

[Guest guest]

<sigh> nikki :)The language of truth is unadorned and always simple.Marcellinus Ammianus We were so excited about the revelation of Paul McCartney's flower fancy (contained in his amusing 2002 backstage rider) that we somehow missed a chink in the ex-Beatle's animal-friendly armor. It turns out that Paul's backstage demand for 24 bars of Ivory Soap is a major vegan no-no, since the 99.44% pure soap actually contains animal fats, according to Ivory's web site. So, while Paul won't sit on a leather couch, the Liverpudlian is apparently lathering with beef tallow. In addition, Procter & Gamble--which produces Ivory and other household staples--has been a frequent target of animal-rights groups for the conglomerate's extensive use of animal testing.
