A rather bizarre pro-spaying demonstration involving humans dressed as condoms and a model named Lacey Banghard has some people scratching their heads in amused confusion this week.
On Monday at Piccadilly Circus in London, Banghard (yes, that's her real name), a 20-year-old model and "Celebrity Big Brother" contestant, was joined by two giant, fuzzy condoms to promote the sterilization of cats and dogs. The demonstration was organized by activist group People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).

"If cats and dogs could rubber-up, tens of thousands of animals would be spared suffering and death every year," Banghard said, according to a press release. "But they can't, so it's up to us to fix the problem by fixing our animals."
The PETA press release continues thus:
Each year, thousands of cats and dogs in animal shelters must be killed because there aren't enough good homes for them. Other animals are abandoned on the streets,...
