Digg thisNBC pulled the plug on a PETA pro-veggie commercial planned for the Super Bowl because it “depicts a level of sexuality exceeding our standards,” according to NBC Universal’s advertising standards executive, Victoria Morgan. The ad, which carries the tagline, “Studies Show Vegetarians Have Better Sex,” shows lingerie-clad stunners getting “intimate” with vegetables. One shot depicts an actress “rubbing her pelvic region with a pumpkin.”
Says a PETA rep: “PETA’s veggie ads are locked out, while ads for fried chicken and burgers are allowed, even though these foods make Americans fat, sick and boring in bed.”
Well, maybe that’s because fast-food ads don’t show lingerie models rubbing Big Macs all over themselves and licking french fries suggestively. Would that it were so… But then, even McDonald’s isn’t as desperate for attention as PETA.
Great ad, though. “Studies show.” I’d like to see how these studies are conducted. By which I mean being in the same room, perhaps with a video camera. Just imagine the hot, forbidden sexy talk these vegetarians must whisper to each other to make things dangerous and exciting: “Sometimes I wonder if global warming is even real.” “Ooooh baby, recite another Paula Deen recipe.” “Oh God, oh God… not that He exists.” “Yes, yes, hybrids are for dorks!”
By the way, has anybody told the lions and wolves and so forth about this whole thing? They probably thought they were doing fine, but PETA knows better.
Check it out, ladies, here’s your all-night vegan lover:
You’re welcome! And don’t worry, fellas, here’s one for you:
What’s that? Well, you’re wrong. Studies show.
