American flag unfurls behind US Olympic swimmer's "no fur" ad campaign

Due to the unabated killing of animals by some garment firms, US Olympic swimming star Amanda Beard poses for a promo campaign against the use of fur. She bares all in a revealing ad for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).

The two-time Olympic gold medalist unveiled the ad last Aug. 6, or two days before the start of the 2008 Beijing Olympic games. It shows the toned swimmer posing in knee-deep water before an American flag, next to the tagline: "Be Comfortable in Your Own Skin. Don't Wear Fur."

When asked by media if she has reservations about posing nude, she gave a resounding "No!"

"I'd much rather go naked than ever put a dead animal on my body", she quipped.
