Tags: banned, PETA, s.s., Super Bowl ad
You know PETA? Those zealots with more money than sense who are always running around tossing cash at random celebrities if they’ll swan about naked and pretend that fur enrages them? Well, apparently PETA was not fully convinced that the world at large thought them enough of a laughingstock, and thus produced the following ad, which they planned to spend millions of dollars to run during the Super Bowl. Until those meanie-pants fascists at big, bad NBC banned it for being “obscene” (and also effing retarded):
See, this is why people think PETA is dumb as hell. It’s not that nobody cares about animal welfare, it’s that they’re tired of being shrieked at by deluded “crusaders” who are so lost in hysterics that they can’t wrap their heads around the concept that animals might be better served by spending millions on the actual animals, instead of an ad about zucchini fetish porn that was supposed to air during a testosterone-soaked ritual involving spandex-clad men grappling with each other over a ball. Made of LEATHER. I mean, seriously, PETA. No one who watches the Super Bowl gives a shit about vegetarianism. Go away and shut the hell up. I got this here bigass steak to eat and you’re ruining my appetite, bitches.

Hahaha! I’m pretty sure PETA doesn’t believe in cheese, either. They’re not just vegetarian, they’re vegan. Actually, I suspect that as soon as they find a doctor willing to accept bribery payments to claim that people can derive sufficient nutrition from rocks and dirt, PETA will start screeching about plant cruelty as well.

quite rightly!
retards for the ethical treatment of animals don’t seem to care much about ethics themselves really…

The people who run PETA are insane, the people who follow PETA are fairly insane as well and if the idiots who run it keep running it the way they are, they’ll be classified a domestic terrorist organization and shut down. Then all of the animals will be as sad as the ones on TV infomercials.

To be honest, I don’t see the big issue here. I’m no PETA-apologist, nor am I a vegetarian, but I mean… PETA has done a whole hell of a lot worse than this. It’s a bunch of shots of women in underwear appearing to have sex with vegetables. Stupid? Undoubtedly. Obscene? Hardly.
But then I’m an artist, so I generally hate the word “obscene” out of principle.

I think the issue is that PETA is against the exploitation of animals. That’s perfectly fine. Except to prove their point, they proceed to exploit women.

My local radio morning show was talking about this ad this morning, and I agree with their consensus…
PETA never had any true desire to air this during the Superbowl. They would never put up this much money for an ad. They just made it as scandalous as possible, knowing full well that it would be rejected by the censors. So then the media went crazy talking about PETA’s scandalous ad, and everyone ran to their computers to look it up or talk about it… FREE ADVERTISING! They got exactly what they wanted.
And that ad is not nearly as depraved or sexually deviant as some things I have seen on primetime tv dramas. People need to get over themselves.
