"I would like to announce that due to pressures and threats from a certain animal rights group, I will be changing the genuine fox fur on my free program costume that I will use in the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, B.C., to white faux fur.... I hope these activists can understand that my decision to change my costume is in no way a victory for them, but a draw."
- Hero American super-athlete Johnny Weir is going to cut a number of animal-loving bitches after Vancouver for threatening him and making him deal with this shit right now while he is super-busy.

If we stop wearing fur, the terrorist have won.
He should take to wearing a fur warm-up suit.
Um meanwhile, that fox he replaced is still dead - and now, for no reason!
Oh, he's still wearing it. He's just saying it's fake.
God, I hope so.
I'm all about reforming the fur industry but going after some ice skater seems like a waste of time and resources, if a good attention-getting strategy.
Or maybe he can just hand club an artisanal baby seal while he's up there.
Attention Activists: I am discarding my toupee made from the hair of Haitian infants and replacing it with one made of fishing line. Lest there be any doubt here, nobody wins.
I want to see Johnny Weir at EVERY press conference involving ANYTHING from now on. (Note to Democratic Party: the spirit of JW is exactly what you are missing these days.)
Leave it to PETA to start picking on figure skaters...
Next, watch them beat up a towheaded little boy carrying a rabbit's foot keyring.
I am just so proud of that young thing. On skates. Not taking any sass from strident shouties.
He said he's not wearing it for this one particular competition - he must have costumes for other 'programs' right?
(Meaning, I'd like for him to wear whatever the hell he wants.)
