Poll: PETA's New ad campaign

[Neonit]

argh! when will you people learn!
peta is a bunch of professional trolls, IGNORE THEM.

dont talk about them, and they will die out in a year and world will be a much better place.

It's just wrong because as always PETA's main tool is misinformation. Going vegan does not make you a healthier person than any other healthy eating diet. In fact, going vegan is generally more expensive, time consuming and runs the risk of dangerous levels of being left drastically malnourished.

These are the same people who will try to tell you that eating meat is incredibly unhealthy for you.

I really just don't understand the whole PETA thing, they're full of complete retards, but somehow they actually manage to get all their ads out. They have their freedom of speech, but all the media corporations have every right to not air that crap.

I agree. As far as I'm aware Veganism is actually quite unhealthy and requires a lot of vitamin supplements for your body to cope. That may be an urban myth though.

Regardless, the advert is tasteless and blatantly untrue. Shame on any TV Channel that actually goes along with their ignorance and bullshit. :/

It's retarded because it's an ad for Peta, but there's nothing wrong with the ad itself.
A bit of sexual innuendo never hurt anyone.

I'd hardly call this innuendo.

A bit of sexual imagery, then. Whatever you wanna call it.

Meh, I think it's just sex, frankly.

Shit advert anyway.

I'd hardly call that sex. They showed a girl in her underwear being smacked against a wall at a suspect angle and a boy in his underwear patching up said wall.
You most likely wouldn't get what the ad was trying to say if you didn't already know what sex is, and if you already know what sex is, there's no way the ad is going to do any kind of harm.

I voted No (other). The first four comments (as well as other) describe very welll why I chose it: It. Is. Stupid.

I..um... can I just ask, what the hell did I just watch?
I mean... seriously, what?

Please people, do not bring up the old "sex sells" trope. This is not about sex; this is about showing an injured, abused looking woman and portraying that as sexy.

PETA has the Holocaust [http://adland.tv/content/petas-top-five-most-offensive-and-most-sexist-ads] or human slavery. Besides, they're financially corrupt and kill rescue animals.

Domestic violence (it is in no way a gender issue no matter how many "violence against women" campaigns misrepresent it because the narrative of female victimhood is more marketable) is not a laughing matter, and imagery evoking it should not be used in this fashion for reasons of taste. Of course, PETA is a morally bankrupt organization devoted to murdering animals for no good reason, so I would expect no less of them. Come to think of it, maybe they just wanted to show solidarity with the bastards who design domestic violence campaigns. You know, an honor-among-thieves sort of thing.

 

[Nigh Invulnerable]

Mostly this is just stupid. I don't think it's advocating domestic violence or anything, but PETA's implication that going vegan can make people have crazy-awesome sex like porn stars is just idiotic.

 

[Limecake]

PETA is like a retard in school, no matter how stupid, rude, violent or disgusting they are they never get in trouble. OT i don't think they should be doing this, violence is not a good add campaign

you don't like PETA? You must hate animals then! where's my red paint!?

seriously though the Ad is alright, nothing special as far as PETA goes it's pretty tame. how is this ad any worse than anything AXE puts out? Just because it's PETA?

And I do not support PETA at all, I support groups like the SPCA who actually look to help animals instead of try to make them our equals (what?) If it was like the rest of their ad's that filled me with hatred and bile then I would say it is a good ad.

But it didn't, it was tame. Peta uses these ad's to get attention and it didn't get mine.

 

[kasperbbs]

It has nothing to do with violence towards women, it basically says that if you don't eat meat you will become a stallion. Now that thats out of the way i think its retarded. I guess 'think about the poor animals' route didn't work so now they are trying to convince people that you can have better sex if you don't eat meat, cos sex sells right?

 

[Malyc]

I am a proud supporter of PETA (People Eating Tasty Animals) and I think this add is in opposition to their values... It's trying to STOP us from eating meat, not encouraging us. THIS ADD IS ILLEGAL!!!

 

[Dilapsor]

I think the most chilling thing about this commercial are the two messages it is sending at the same time:

1) We really, really love animals.
2) Our lifestyle grants us amazing sexual prowess.
3) Did we mention that we really, really love animals?

 

[NKRevan]

I shall have a big, juicy Steak for dinner. Or maybe some Veal.

PETA's a joke. And this just adds to their already ridiculous reputation.

 

[Kargathia]

I clicked on this link wondering whether PETA could out-stupid themselves once again.

Disappointed I was not.

Edit: Try watching the video without sound. What was already insulting now skyrockets straight into full-on domestic abuse without as much as a hint to the contrary.
