PETA made a SuperBowl commercial starring hot women making out with vegetables, and now they claim it was “banned” by NBC. But everyone is calling bullshit publicity stunt on them. Here’s the commercial, which is super dumb:
Here’s the list of things NBC objected to, which is typical of a standards and practices censorship memo (those lawyers are very serious about dirty things.) Even if PETA did have the money to buy a SuperBowl commercial, instead of orchestrating this whole banned thing for publicity, wouldn’t it be money donated by people who think it’s going to help animals? And why so sexist? I don’t complain about the GoDaddy.com ads, I just quietly choose to buy my (hundreds of) domains from their competitors. But PETA is supposed to be a progressive organization. So let’s boycott PETA, everyone! Oh wait, pretty much everyone already does, because they’re the Scientology of animal charities. Well, anyway, go ASPCA!

Oh, the things I’m going to do with the broccoli in the refrigerator when I get home…
i am having a really good time imagining you writing an angry e-mail saying, “i am going to take my lindsayrobertson.us business ELSEWHERE, godaddy.com, thank you very much.”
PETA spends so much money on advertising, especially their “sexy” campaigns. If they put half as much money into actually doing something besides complaining all the time, maybe they wouldn’t be considered such a joke. And what are these “studies” that show vegetarians have better sex? Like that’s the only thing vegetarianism has going for it?
Ugh. Here in Portland, Oregon there’s a strip club with a vegan menu. I can’t imagine who wants that kind of thing. Those horrible ads where they show animals being tortured are pretty effective though.
PETA is the Scientology of animal charities. I am so saying that from now on. I wish they would go away, they make vegetarians/animal lovers embarressed.
aren’t they effectively abusing the rights of women (portraying them as confusing vegetables with penises) to “positively” effect the rights of animals?
Vegetarianism might make sex better, but I’m a virgin (and will remain one for a little while), so it’s a mooooot point. I’m going to keep enjoying my steak, thank you very much.
I haven’t eaten any meat since watching this video. I guess I’m feeling a little sexier.
…guys?
If it’s a publicity stunt then they’ve succeeded because you’re all talking about it.
i was just about to complain about the fact that she is “screwing herself with broccoli (fuzzy)” and the “asparagus on her lap appearing as if it is ready to be inserted into vagina”. hahaha, nbc.
studies also show that malnourished vegetarian vagina smells extremely bad.
I’m a vegetarian, and there are lots of good reasons to be a vegetarian, but Christ I hate PETA.
The real offensive part of that video is the soundtrack. Just put that music over pictures of steak and I’d never eat it again but since they put it over women….
Thanks PETA, now I’m gay.
After being rejected by NBC for risque content, PETA has reshot a chaste version of their TV ad in order to secure the Superbowl spot.

sometimes TV censorship can be so inconsistent
PETA is just for the bunch of brainless idiots that listen to their rediculous idelogies
