PETA's newest ad rejected by superbowl

[Adam]

My unfunny two cents - humans can eat other animals while still supporting the ethical treatment of those animals.

Absolutely. I only support the torture of humans.

Did you guys see the list of reason to be a veg?

"Because meat and dairy will make you fat"

How about you get off your *** to go to the gym? How do you expect to grow without Protein and Irons found in meat? Stupid PETA.

Protein and iron can easily be had with a vegan diet. Just do some searching online, and you will find this information for yourself.

Thanks, Pyrrho! I was too lazy to look that stuff up and post it.

It is interesting that some people don't seem to "get" this ad. For those people: How many of you complain about beautiful women in ads for other things, such as cars or boats or whatever other thing in which the women are there just to get your attention? Isn't it hypocritical to complain about beautiful women with vegetables in ads, but not complain about beautiful women with cars in ads? It seems that something else must be bothering you.

In the case of the PETA ad, there is some relevance, as a healthy lifestyle (including a healthy diet) is good for one's ability to perform sexually. Clogging your blood vessels with cholesterol can lead to impotence, because blood flow is essential for an erection.

Look, everybody's doing it:

Like anything in life moderation is best. Nothing wrong with a little animal protein. The problem is that meat becomes the center of the meal and for some the only part. For me its a little meat and lots of the other stuff. So you could say that ones diet is like audio, we should all strive for balance

As for women in ads most of the time I understand but really if I want to see hot women I'll watch some porn, pick up a Playboy, or......well you get the idea

I never complained about that ad, I was complaining about that list that followed. And they didn't say a "poor diet" will make you lousy in the sack, they said MEAT will. ****ing PETA, they make it sound like we're the ones torturing animals. Certain animals are bread to be eaten, they serve no other purpose (like a cow). I have never eaten dog or cat (that I know of...).

All this time I thought MEAT was what made me great in the sack.

Hee, hee. There's two misconceptions in one sentence.

People should have 1-1.5g of protein per pound they weigh, which is possible on a vegan diet, but difficult and also very calorie packed. When you read vegan information sheets, they generally state only 50g or 60g are needed, or even less, which is very low, especially for a male.

The good thing is that one look at human teeth and you can figure out we are meat eaters, so, its kind of a null issue. If people want to not eat meat that is fine, but, leave me alone.

 

[Adam]

I would imagine that getting protein is a lot easier on a vegetarian diet compared to a vegan diet. Milk and other dairy products are excellent sources.

High caloric content might be a good thing, Sensi. As the song goes, "red beans and rice didn't miss her...baby got back."

Nod, but the trouble is that as you become an adult often you become increasingly lactose intolerant (which is just a fancy name for milk alergies, which most humans have to varying degrees).

Nuts like almonds are a great source, but, have a lot of calories... which equal fat chicks (baby got back) versus the thin ones we see here.

 

[Adam]

Nuts...are a great source...

I'll be shocked if Alex doesn't have a snappy comment on that.

Speaking of nuts ...
What's the vegan view on man goo?
Or have they been dodging the issue?

 

[Rickster71]

I find it curious that the 'left' is against the exploitation of women.
They champion their right's, equal pay, etc.

I guess exploitation is ok when it's a left wing group like PETA doing the exploitation.

 

[Audioholics]

I can't stand that group. Peta kills more animals per year than the humane society in most areas: http://www.newsweek.com/id/134549

They kill 85% of all animals they "rescue". Big business hiding under the guise of animal rights.

 

[jvgillow]

I'm with you Clint, PETA is an awful group to support. HSUS is another up-and-coming animal rights outfit that has caused a lot of damage.

Anybody who visits my web page gets to see the banner for www.petakillsanimals.com. In 2007 they killed more than 90%.

 

[Adam]

Where did you get that fact/impression, Clint? According to the sited article, PETA has killed 17000 animals over a 10 year period (1700 on average per year). Shelters kill 4 million a year. Out of the 4 million, I didn't see an indication of what percentage is from humane societies.

I'm asking, not debating. BTW, I don't support PETA as a group. I don't know enough about them, and some of what I've seen from them upsets me. I do absolutely believe in and support the ethical treatment of animals (humans included) - I'm just not convinced that PETA helps in achieving that goal.

 

[jvgillow]

A lot of local shelters are moving to the "no-kill" type when possible, which PETA is actually against. They would rather the shelters continue to euthanize than try to find more temporary/permanent homes. Both sides have their arguments to defend their position.

Here's a fairly recent blog article about it: http://www.petconnection.com/blog/2008/12/18/heartless-in-houston-peta-bashes-wingrad-no-kill/
