NEW YORK: Broadcast network CBS seems to have backed out of its
commitment of doing something for a social cause. An adrants report
says that animal rights group PETA (People for Ethical Treatment
of Animals) had plans to feature Jenna Morasca, the latest Survivor
winner, in an upcoming anti-fur ad campaign.

CBS had confirmed and an agreement with PETA seems to have been
in place as long as PETA did not mention the word "Survivor"
in the ad. However, the adrants report says that CBS backed out
at the last moment - saying that her appearance in the ad would
interfere with her contractual obligations to the network.
Morasca was to appear in a faux fur bikini in the "Wear Fake
for the Animal's Sake" ad campaign.
Meanwhile, PETA has also decided to take digs at Vogue editor Anna
Wintour. Now PETA is going after her with a poster campaign claiming
she extols the virtues of fur in Vogue.
On 2 June, the posters will be placed around New York City and
handouts will be distributed outside Conde Naste headquarters with
her direct telephone line and e-mail address. Additionally, PETA
will ask supporters to flood Vogue's phone lines on the ad closing
date of an upcoming issues in order to upset her while she is in
the midst of a hectic schedule.
Reports also indicate that Wintour is not very popular - a staffer
even wrote a book about her apparently, horrid, nature, adds the
report.
