Banned PETA Commercial
- Thread starter Stringytank
- Start date
Seems like a perfectly fine advert that hits their target demographic and makes it's point well. Though I agree with not showing it during the Superbowl or any other prime-time programming for that matter. If it was me I'd have run it an e-ad somewhere like gametrailers.
I think people are just getting worked up over anything PETA related nowadays.

I can see why that was banned - mainly because it's a flat lie. Can't PETA get it into their collective skull that eating meat is - :O shock! - what humans are meant to do biologically?
I have nothing against people who don't want to eat meat; sticking to an ethical choice is pretty admirable. But when they go ramming crap like this down people's throats when they don't follow their ethics is just plain ignorant.
It's about time PETA threw in the towel. If they carry on, they'll only hurt their own cause.
(On a side note, that'd never make me stop eating meat...)

for 2 reasons do i see there to be holes in their theory about vegetarians bein better in bed... 1: us meat eaters have higher protein intake levels meaning better musculature, we break less easy and have more tolerance for physical stress... also #2 anyone who knows a vegetarian knows veggie farts smell the worst, and that aint good in bed for anyone 
also a balanced diet includes lean meat and vegetables and a combo tastes better than just veggies... also salads though good as sides aren't that filling, so yeah have a salad with yer steak and bam healthy meal. /end rant

Did anyone see the PETA cooking mama? it was a thanks giving special i think.
Who the hell came up with this commercial?That person must not know that when you show half-naked chicks to a man then show him some text about....well,anything,he'll completely ignore the text.
Besides,if PETA wants me to go vegetarian,what will happen to the poor plants?They'll end up in slaughter houses to be inhumanly treated.On the plus side,an organisation called PETP(People for Ethical Treatment of Plants) will appear urging us to eat bacon and...
Excuse me,I have an organisation to create.
Remember,vegan is murder,eat meat

the only thing i've ever heard from a PETA member that made any logical sense was bill maher talking about food additives, like artificial colouring and hormone injections, because those eventually build up in the body, like everything else that happens with our food. i haven't found any studies personally to back up his claims, but i at least acknowledged that it was plausible. everything else he's said about PETA though has been bullshit. that's hard for a fan of his to admit.
speaking of bullshit, Penn & Teller did an episode of Bullshit! showing PETA's exploits (as well as other radical "animal-saving" bullshit artists), and another episode going over vegetarianism vs carnivorism (whatever you'd call it) vs being an omnivore (which is what humans are: meat and veggie eaters).
besides, vegetables aren't that safe. tomato leaves are toxic and spinach from th US is poisonous

Couldn't agree more.
... This must be PETA getting desperate;
"We've failed to rename fish as Sea Kittens, now what do we do?"
"I know! Let's give some hot, horny women some vegetables! That'll stop meat-eating for good!"
"My god! That's genius! TO THE PETA MOBILE!"
This is funny as fuck, what will they do next... If anyone falls for this I'll become a Vegan.
My first thought after the words 'surveys show vegetarians have better sex' was 'what surveys?' then it inevitably turned to '...this just makes it look and sound like vegetarians have sex with fruit and veg'...
...not a nice thought...
Bad advert.

Yah... PETA is pretty stupid..
They had some billboards up here in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada showing a sad santa with the caption "Santa won't be comming this year" (Cumming...)
People here were OUTRAGED! You know how hard it is to console a 4 year old when they think Santa isn't comming!!!
So a bunch of us, along with one of the local radio stations, met up under that billboard, had a BBQ, and the Milk 2 Go truck showed up to give out free Milk 2 Go. Nothing says piss off PETA like doing exactly what they don't like, right underneath one of their billboards.
A PETA member actually showed up and tried to tell us to leave. It was headline news the next day, and the day after the billboards were taken down by the company that owns them.
Score one for meat eaters!
PS: I have nothing against vegitarians, but really? Just like religion, don't push your beliefs on me if I don't want to believe them!

You know, this whole sexy vegetable campaign thing is an old idea. Advocacy groups in some European countries were doing it. I interned for a group that was thinking about trying to bring it stateside, but they figured it would never get past the censors. My take is that advertising for whatever food works, and it's not a bad thing if folks want to balance out all the ads for fast food and what not during the Superbowl. It might be bad on the feminist angle, but it seems like a gray area to me. I'm kinda surprised that PETA (of all people) went for it. I mean, I guess eating vegetables helps animals, unless you make a nice beef stew.
That being said, how much you wanna bet more people watch this commercial online than watch the Superbowl? The internet is the new answer to silly censorship.
While we're on the subject, this inappropriate commercial is also pretty cool. (warning: lewd content, might be offensive)
