I am glad he did not cave in to PETA pressure. there is a lot of room in this would for everyone, and if you do not like hunting, then don't hunt. If you like wearing fur, wear it. If you want ti engage in a discussion debating your preferences, fine, I can handle that. Like the old saying ,"your right to swing your hand ends at my nose", don't push your agenda down my throat.

I like Johnny and his style.
The color of the fur on his back would be ideal for a snowy winter hunt.

If Johnny had proof that it was PETA threatening him, I say take 'em to court. That's organized crime!

I think it's fair to say that most hunters are "very open" because we "like fur" and "things that come from dead animals."

I say "Go Johnny Go,Go!"

I wonder who his designer is?

All I can say is...He looks FABULOUUUUS! LOL

Wow Unrightousess, what about the feeling of the trees you killed when you wipe your pie hole with a napkin? This man has achieved something great in his life and for all I care he could wear a dried turd and still be okay in my book. You are just pissed because he had the balls to stand up to peta. When are dilusinal people gonna get a clue. You are no better than anyone else.

I've been watching this since I first heard about it, Johnny Weir might seem a tadbit..eh..different-- but who cares!! He's an American who's kicking some butt at the olympics and standing up for what he believes in which is wearing dead critters and telling the PETA crowd to stick it! That makes him A-OK with me and I'll be watching and cheering for him tonite, Kick some butt Johnny!!

Uncle Ted needs to back this guy!

Righteousness, you sick pile of excrement. You can spout garbage from the safety of your keyboard, but wimps like you never come out of the closet long enough to say things like that to anyone's face. If you decide to man up, I hope you pick me.

OK, this is one of the weirdest articles on seen on F&S yet
David Letterman last nite (as best as I can remember it);
"I appreciate what these men's figure skaters do, but why do they all have to look like Edward Scissorhands?"

B)

Why in the hell would that guy (righteousness) even be reading this blog. Dont think the poor little fellers momma loved him enough!LMAO As for Weir, I give him a thumbs up for standing up to the PETA freaks. We need allies in all walks of life.

Absolutely correct buckhunter. They would love to get a knee jerk reaction from us by posting comments like the above. Cant even come up with an argument that makes any sense whatsoever. I enjoy a lively debate with reasonably intelligent people. Can even agree to disagree. They will have to do a lot better than that post to get any reaction from me other than making a joke.

DISCLAIMER . . . that quote WAS A JOKE, and in no way expresses the actual sentiments, thoughts, or actions of this broadcast station.

Strange bedfellows indeed. He is an American, he is bringing home a gold medal and someone in his position has guts to say what said. If PETA has him on their hit list he has more in common with us than a lot of people. Just never thought we'd be talking about figure skating on this sight.

Don't care much for that out outrageous other fella Boy George who has a pretty good dynamic voice I must say. But I do believe Mr Weir is about to turn the worlds fashion world on it's head!

Go Johnny Go!

and they call us crazy! PETA should be labeled a terrorist organization! along with the U.N.!

LOL! THIS IS GOING TO BE VERY INTERESTING!!!!

Weir may trade skates for fashion

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Just moments after the performance that cemented his place in America’s hearts, Johnny Weir was contemplating turning his back on the sport that has given him his platform for extravagance.

No figure skater, man or woman, is more in your face than Weir, who delivered his usual dose of outrageous and unapologetic theater at the Pacific Coliseum, to finish the men’s event in sixth place. However, as Weir exclusively revealed to Yahoo! Sports just moments after finishing his program, he might not be in your face for much longer.

“I am going to skate in the World Championships and then I have to decide how long I want to stay on vacation,” he said. “In figure skating your body can only last for so long. I can’t be 50 and trying to skate but I can be 50 and be in fashion, so I have to look to my future and what I want to achieve.”
Weir is only 25 but the chances of him still being able to compete at the elite level by the time the Sochi Winter Olympics roll around in 2014 are slim.
He has already made steps into the fashion world through skating, and designed both his costumes for his short and free skate programs in Vancouver.

His love of fashion was highlighted in his television documentary series “Be Good Johnny Weir” – and a recent email exchange with Yahoo! Sports revealed that his long-term enthusiasm for the sport that was waning.
“The best part about my series to me is that I can show the world the real, difficult, lonely life an athlete has,” said Weir. “Especially a figure skater. We rarely have the opportunity to have a voice outside the costumes, makeup and music.

“I want to create art more than anything and the way I want to do it is through fashion. I want to go to the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan and really learn the basics of fashion from the ground up.
“I want to create things while I have time on earth, and the art of costume and culture has always inspired me. I think being in the public eye can only help me launch into the world of fashion.”

Weir heads to the World Championships in Torino from March 22-28 before his decision that shapes his future looms. Whatever path Weir decides, don’t expect it to be boring.

He's atleast standing his ground and hopefully PETA gets the hint.(unlikely but still they may leave him alone)

Strange guy or not Good for him.

My bad. Got my American's mixed up. Can't stay awake that late anymore, at least not awake enough to be coherent. I still give kudo's to the guy for pissing off PETA.

But she says an American guy got the Gold medal Evan Somebody.

Everytime I drive down the highway and see dead raccoons and skunks all over the place it's a reminder that we need more fur trappers in this country. Left unchecked they multiply like rats and become pests. Hey PETA people does Don Quiyote' (spelling?) ring a bell. May all the vermin you save infest your own home.
