In 2015, animal rights activist James Aspey of Australia took a vow of silence for an entire year as a publicity stunt…
While technically correct, the term publicity stunt is widely regarded as contemptuous at best, even though there’s nothing intrinsically ignoble about publicity or stunts. I don’t how what he’s done is in any way contemptible. I’ll assume it was just a misuse of the vernacular.
Not that the merit of my argument rests on my personal beliefs, but I say this as an unapologetic omnivore, so it’s not like I have a personal reason to defend him.
