Quick copy-paste of article tadbits for the lazy:
Now, PETA has pulled out all of the stops with a XXX porn site for its next clever marketing endeavor.

"We live in a 24 hour news cycle world and we learn the racy things we do are sometimes the most effective way that we can reach particular individuals," said PETA spokeswoman Lindsay Rajt

"Instead of focusing on anti-fur, the porn site will raise awareness of veganism," said Rajt. "We really want to grab people's attention, get them talking and to question the status quo and ultimately take action, because the best way we can help the greatest number of animals is simply by not eating them."

"PETA's sexy side displayed in galleries and videos will quickly give way to the sinister world of animal mistreatment uncovered by the group?s hidden camera investigations in a very different kind of graphic content."

So how pornographic will PETA go? According to Rajt, it will have enough adult content to qualify for the XXX domain site but also some other graphic images of animals that viewers may not expect to see.

I haven't taken PETA seriously in forever. For all the awareness they brought up about animal cruelty, they are mostly remembered for the ads that feature nude women saying "Don't wear fur" or "go vegan." I agree that it was catchy and people did pay attention to the ad a bit, but I don't think it made that much of a difference.
But this idea of a porn site to raise awareness?
Personally, I think it'll bring publicity but not awareness. I highly doubt that anyone has turned vegan because of these ads and I doubt any of these ads has helped any animals substantially. PETA should stop doing these types of things because they won't be taken seriously. The media doesn't give a damn about the animals, they only care about the 'controversy' having nude women in ads.

Short story: Nobody goes to a porn site to learn about social/environmental/political issues. They go to fap.

But I'm curious Escapees, do you think that any of these ads actually raise awareness?

There are words on porn sites? I guess you learn something new every day.

A porn site featuring pictures of dead animals will not go very far with the vast, vast majority of the public. The only ones who would appreciate it are probably not the type that PETA caters for anyway.

A website with dead animals? Nah. A porn site with dead animals and boobs? Count me in, good sir

EDIT: No this won't make me respect PETA anymore than I do already, and I will probably visit the site eating bacon. So there.

So one minute your wanking away at some regular straight porn when suddenly images of animal abuse invade the screen? Sounds like a massive boner killer to me, unless your pretty damn weird.

PETA scares me slightly more every time i hear something about them.
I fully agree with you on that.

It just gets creepier and creepier every time you hear about them, and in ways that you don't want to think about. *shudders*

All I wonder is what type of porn would the porn site use... Hmm... No, bad thoughts, go away!

OT: If they want to do it, go for it. It probably won't raise awareness though. People don't go to porn sites to learn about new things (well, they do, but nothing beyond sex) or have their beliefs challenged. Anything does that, and I doubt you would have people visiting the site anymore.

"According to Rajt, it will have enough adult content to qualify for the XXX domain site but also some other graphic images of animals that viewers may not expect to see." Yeah no. That's gonna kill anything the porn started.
