Take a good look at the image to your right. Every other picture is from a PETA ad. The remainder are all from international beer ads from major companies.

Yesterday, the international media were reporting that PETA was denied air time during the Superbowl because their ad was TOO SEXY. Go ahead and click it. You’ll survive.

No matter what you think of PETA, this is stupid and this is censorship. They would be far from the first company or organization to use blatant sexual references to sell something during the Superbowl. In fact, The Manofest web site has put together TOP 10 SEXIEST SUPERBOWL COMMERCIAL BABES. They didn’t generate that list from banned ads. Just the ones that were beamed directly into your living room and that you discussed the next day at work.

Moreover, the actual message of the PETA ad, that vegetarians have better sex, would seem to dovetail neatly with the beer ads that imply that drinking beer will get you laid in the first place. I am guessing that beer drinking vegetarians would be knee deep in booty by the end of their first month on the program.

In fact, one could imagine beer drinking vegetarians vibrating in an elevator suffering through withdrawal-like symptoms trying to make it from floor to floor without dropping trou or hiking their skirt, as the case may be.

THE NY DAILY NEWS has now added PETA to the list of companies that the right-minded regiments of the Superbowl have deemed inappropriate for commercial airing. The list is pretty mind numbing. And, because they still seem to have some vestige of freedom left, the NY Times has posted all the banned ads for you to watch.

The message seems clear; either you get your titillation the way your grandpappy did or you don’t get it at all.

By now you have clicked on all the links so you may be needing a five minute privacy break in the nearest bathroom stall. This would be the time to take that moment and then come back for the rest.

Welcome back. I find it a little hard to believe that a celebration of blood, pain and violence cheered on by scantily clad women and bare chested neantherdals is now becoming the arbiter of American morals. If it were bare chested women and scantily clad neantherdals doing the cheering, my feeling would be the same.

If PETA wants you to think that a beer and broccoli combo, even though it may be malodorous, is your key to sexual ecstasy, then I, for one, see no reason to deny them the chance to toss 3 million dollars into the economy and let the public decide. After all, if people are so insulated as to be aroused by a veggie wielding lingerie model then there isn’t much hope for society in the first place, is there?

In the meantime, our very own DUI Attorney, who still thinks that PETA stands for People Eating Tasty Animals, has already started a thread, so CLICK HERE TO CELEBRATE NAKED VEGETABLES!
