PETA's Super Bowl Sex Ad Rejected.

[Byrd]

Not to state the obvious, but I'm pretty sure PETA intentionally made it "too sexy" so that they'd get all kinds of news stories and viewers on the video to get their method across without having to drop a mil on a Super Bowl ad.

Possibly. Along these same lines, AshleyMadison.com had a similar issue recently where their attempt to advertise in the Super Bowl program (I believe) was rejected due to moral reasons, and they cried foul. But not only did they not have to pay for their ad, they had radio programs all over the country debating if this was right or not, and name-dropping their business over and over and over again. Had the ad printed, it would have been a non-story.

Vegetarians tend to be more liberal leaning (fact) and people like that tend to have more sex, and tend to experiment more (fact).

Being a vegetarian has nothing to do with it, it's just causality being bent to serve the interests of a third party as usual.

However I accept your hypothesis.

Well you could say that most vegetarians are more fit than a typical fast-food eating person, leading to better sex just because they aren't obese and disgusting.

Am I the only one that thinks this is rather on par with normal super bowl ads?

Yea, if the argument was about fast food, but they're bitching about all meat in general. I've strayed away from all fast food (except wendy's once in a while) and noticed a huge difference the last time I had a checkup. If I didn't smoke and drink beer, I'd be just as fit as any Vegan/Vegetarian. But doesn't meat provide vitamins that increase testosterone and estrogen production?

I approve of this ad, even if it was made by PETA.

Vegetarians and vegans especially often find themselves having to take vitamin supplements because they aren't getting them from the meat they're not eating.

Maybe if they don't know what to eat. You can get just about every vitamin found in meat from vegetable form. The only exception may be a shortage of foods that provide vitamin D which I think comes from stuff like Onions and Avocado. (in limited supply) The problem stems from too much of the basic vitamins that all fruits/vegetables/grains share that can cause deficiencies. The truth is, vegetarians/vegans can potentially be just as unhealthy as anyone else if you don't eat right. In a way, you're at more of a disadvantage because you're only using about half of the food pyramid.

I was going to ask what was so bad about this commercial, but then I remembered that this is America and sex is the most despicable act humanly imaginable. We have to keep it away from the kids!

[Lavik]

wonder if we'll see commericals for things like levitra/viagra though

Having sex with vegetables is terrible, just because they have no brain function doesn't make it right. Didn't watch the video; I don't wanna watch that. Thread was tl;dr

[Joran]

No vegetables were harmed in the making of the video. Although some became aroused and had to be juiced.

[Sol-Blackguy]

I just realized, anyone remember Superbowl 30 when this ad actually aired?

Besides who wants to get all those Monsanto-brand pesticides in their vagoo?

[Correction]

That ad was dumb. Only good peta ad: YouTube - Peta Bad Cats commercial

I'm not saying that they aren't manipulating the statistics to have it say what they want. Just saying overall vegetarians are probably healthier and more fit than your average person just because a lot of meat is eaten in unhealthy ways like fast food. I was stating that it isn't entirely because they are more liberal like Alleya stated, because the average vegetarian is also likely more fit.

[Kuya]

I believe, but i'm not sure, that people in the US, specifically, eat way more meat than they really should, which is ultimately unhealthy.

This would be relevant if PETA gave a shit about people's health.

[Insanecyclone]

Oh the video was about vegetables? I was too busy staring at the women but uh it would have been interesting to see that on TV.

It's not just the US(although we are certainly the worst offenders) but yeah you're right. Also, don't forget diets rich in certain fruits and vegetables make cum taste better, whereas I've heard red meat makes it worse? So that could also be affecting the veggie sex studies.

i thought australia was the fattest country now
