[Vanguard_Ex]

Wait, what? I think you may have the wrong person, Arachon. I never once mentioned children :S
EDIT: Just had another read through, you're thinking of t rexaur

Oh... sorry, wrong person *facepalm*

Stow away that facepalm, I'd be a retard to try and brag about an internet disagreement ^^

Don't know if anyone had heard about this, and sorry if this has already been done.

This is an advertisement that PETA made that was supposed to air on Feb. 1st as a Super Bowl commercial. The commercial was banned by NBC for sexual content.
Any thoughts/opinions?

Yay for PETA! Vegetarians have better sex, bitches.

 

[Necrophagist]

You know, I think I should point out, at this point, what a shameless example of exploitation this ad was. Those vegetable were being shown off like pieces of meat for we vegetarians to lust after. When will the mainstream media stop treating vegetables like second-class citizens and start showing a little tact?!

If they really wanted me to give up meat, they should make plants that taste like steak. Whinging at me and holding stupid, misguided publicity stunts won't convert me. Bring on the bologna bush!

*Ahem* I present to you sir:

THATS what PETA wants us to eat. I can tell you from experience that it tastes like absolute shit. My highschool switched over to that stuff for their hamburgers about a semester before I graduated because most of the girls in my school were on a "Meat is Murder" fad.

I tell you, I was tempted to break into my school to destroy that horrid stuff. But I didn't really care because I was graduating.

On the contrary, I prefer the taste and texture of veggie burgers and meat ground alternatives to the real thing. There's so much grease and gristle in meat. And the smell ... ugh. Once you remove yourself from meat for a while, it begins to revile you.

Well you can different cuts of meat that have no gristle. I'm not just talking about beef here either. Also, depending on how you cook it, meat can have next to no grease.

This may just be me, but there are few things out there that can beat an expertly cooked Rib-eye steak.

EDIT: Upon reflection I think I'll use a quote by Maddox:

"For every animal you don't eat, I'm going to eat three."

you win for funniest reply yet, IMO XD

 

[Imperialist Joe]

PETA are idiots, but I believe that naked chicks should be mandatory during prime time ad breaks and sporting events. The only thing more manly than drinking beer while watching large men beat the piss out of eachother is drinking beer while watching naked chicks.

Quoted for great truth.

On a related note, recently I've gone nuts over soy milk. Great stuff.

So you're going to eat three times the animal population of the planet?

Good luck with that...

PETA are a joke. They border on terrorism with half of their work and spread their beliefs through sex and violence while other respectable animal rights groups get to be associated with them. They are animal rights worst enemy. I just wish they'd figure thaat out and join WSPA to do something useful.

Soy is the worst thing to happen to this planet since rabies.

When I say a plant that tastes like steak, I mean one that fools my brain into thinking that this couldn't possibly be a plant, instead insisting that this chunk of plant-matter must have mooed during its life.

The original link has been removed by Youtube. Does anyone have an alternate?

 

[ProfessorLayton]

I'm going to go to a PETA convention with a big bucket of KFC or something and laugh in their faces. PETA is a joke and this commercial is pathetic. Although, have you ever seen any fat vegetarians?

 

[Necrophagist]

I'm a vegetarian and I have a beer gut. But that's due to beer consumption. Which, technically, is vegetarian. Although if they came our with meat beer I'd have to try it. Mmmmm ... meat beer /Homer Simpson Voice

 

[RobCoxxy]

Studies show if I only eat vegetables, I am statistically more likely to become a whingy little *****.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Inevitable this two year old thread would be necro'd because of the recent PETA thread.

Not much opinion, beside PETA needs to get off their high horse.
