Mike Tyson went vegan?

Mischievous
According to Ecorazzi, Mike Tyson has gone vegan. All past aside (the ear, rape), I find this amusing on many different levels. First, as noted by the top commenter: He’s wearing a fur hat. Even if it may be fake fur, it’s still promoting wearing fur. Second… He’s got a thing for pigeons? All good man, you go on with your bad self. Turn over a new leaf, etc. That’s awesome. However, let me be the first to make this connection.
He’s big n buff and known for fights… duh, he’s a boxer. So let me show you another big, scary, black dude who likes pigeons.
Debo from Friday. If you don’t know the movie, he was the antagonist, the neighborhood bully. And was like… 6’5. Played by Tom “Zeus” “Tiny” Lister, Jr.
And the reason I bring this up is… (Not safe for work or little ears) this popped into mind:
You’re welcome. 
PETA was in the news on March 22, 2010 because they were protesting Tyson’s reality series featuring pigeon racing. Then, Tyson “awakens” and becomes vegan as PETA announces him to be “the new face of veganism” in their own blog. It’s a publicity stunt. I imagine Tyson’s publicist, smoking dope and coming up with the scheme to reinvent Tyson as PETA’s darling and a vegan. It’s brilliant and it’ll work.
