Last year, they submitted zombie Colonel Sanders spots to FOX for rejection.This time, the animal rights organization says they sent this “Veggie Love” spot to NBC for approval to run during Sunday’s Super Bowl. This is of course complete cow manure. PETA submitted this spot for one reason—the disapproval publicity NBC’s rejection is generating (this post included). No, they’d sooner go on a fox hunt riding bulls with their bodies smeared in rabbit blood then waste $3 million on 30 seconds of TV ad time. But publicity costs nothing. And PETA are PR experts who will do absolutely anything for ink—whether it be blasts about never-erected phantom billboards or bleeding a gruesome beheading. Watch the soft porn video (complete with a cheap, canned faux-metal soundtrack), which NBC Universal’s advertising standards executive Victoria Morgan says “depicts a level of sexuality exceeding our standards.” No shit.

Viva PETA! It's one of the best things that's ever happened to our beleaguered democracy. And how pathetic is NBC, scared of veggies and naked skin?
P.S., It's no more pornographic than a Victoria's Secret commercial. What prudes!
PETA's ad inspired me to go out do a barley grass shot
Oh course, but let me say that this is a marked improvement in their standard idiocy campaign.
Now if you'll excuse me I am going to eat some sea kittens (and regular kittens!).
"No, they'd sooner go on a fox hunt riding bulls with their bodies smeared in rabbit blood then waste $3 million on 30 seconds of TV ad time."
I think you mean "than" instead of "then" in this sentence.
rock on Peta! They have done so much to improve industry standards in livestock and helping to change policy of major companies.
I strongly dislike PETA, but I gotta agree with Ardeth's general sentiment. This is no more porno than a lot of commercials. The licking and such can, since our whole society is based on this BS standard, be explained to "the kiddies" by the fact that they're VEGETABLES and you can eat them.
peta never expected this ad to be accepted, and if it was they never would have paid the price to air it. its a good pr stunt though
[...] what would happen if PETA made a commercial with Pamela Anderson looking sexxxy and other sexxxy nude people? We may never know. [Adrants] Tagged:animal rightsclichesclipscrazy notionsnew [...]
