...just tirelessly sexy, but tired of being sexy. And for good reason—their image is so perfectly contrived for the moment that it must be exhausting to keep up. Everything about them just begs for awkward worship from awkward fans. Doll-faced half-Japanese poster-girl singer? Check, and she goes by the name of “Lovefoxxx.” Debut on indie-darling label Sub Pop? Claro que sim. Lyrics with tongue-in-cheek references to Paris Hilton and Death from Above? Obvi.

"A lot of people who eat meat would like to feel that the animals had a good life before they were killed." Once the Arizona initiative passes, he adds, "then the movement will roll on." The eventual goal of animal activists? Federal legislation banning cruelty to farm animals. Already, a bill has been introduced in Congress requiring that producers who sell food to the federal government must meet a basic set of humane standards, such as adequate space, adequate food, and adequate veterinary care...
