People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals took out a billboard in St. John’s, Newfoundland urging people there to abandon fishing.
The billboard features Carre Otis as a mermaid with the tagline, “Try to relate to what’s on your plate.”
The billboard wasn’t too persuasive to a customer of Ches’s Famous Fish and Chips in St. John’s who told The CBC,
She doesn’t look nearly as attractive or taste as good as fish.
I guess the roles just aren’t coming in for Otis after the masterpiece that was Wild Orchid.
