"THE PET PIMP" DEMANDS APOLOGY

(Los Angeles, CA) A recent issue of Men's Health Magazine displayed a picture which has created some controversy. In the September 2003 issue, the magazine promoted an article with a picture of a poodle in a microwave oven. Cham Wike, a television personality and animal protectionist known as "The Pet Pimp, Superhero of America's Pets," expressed offense and disappointment in a press release. His website states:
In addition to being morally objectionable, the photo in Men's Health is an insult to those humans who dedicate their lives to the safety of pets.
No comment on the demand for apology is readily available from the magazine.

It should be noted that the article displayed a disclaimer of the "don't do this at home" variety. No information was provided, however, on proper cooking times for various breeds. Readers are directed to consult the "Oriental Cooking" section of their public library.
