PETA's veggie sex Super Bowl ad rejected by NBC

The vegetables were a huge turnoff. Who's idea was it to change it from strawberries to broccoli? Although I do like the People for the Eating of Tasty Animals myself, it was just a bad commercial as I stated earlier.

For PETA, this is routine stuff. Apparently, enough people support these nuts- how else could they afford these ads? Some misguided people!! Yes, I will admit, though, I love cats- properly baked with Lyonaise sauce!

Study shows that you can say anything on tv and people will most likely believe it to be true.

I hate it when people throw around "studies say..." What studies? How do you define "better sex?" I know, I'm missing the point, but still...grrr

why the hell does everything have to deal with sex to sell - its pathetic! come up with a new strategy already! are people no longer creative and figure I'll just throw in a half naked girl and relate it to sex - THAT'LL SELL! YEAH, IM GENIUS!

Letter to PETA:
It is a shame when an organization decides to try to make a point by preying on base sexuality rather than making an intelligent point. You have stooped to a new low PETA.
Although I support much of PETA’s effort to educate the world regarding your causes, I have to wonder now what lengths you would go to in order to get your point across. I fully support the ban on your recent ad campaign by NBC.

I think that somewhere in your advertising, especially these newer commercials – the ‘Ethical’ part of PETA has gotten lost.
What about the Ethical treatment of families, who are affected so negatively by our society’s addiction to pornography? Your commercial is nothing more than that – soft core porn meant to get attention by exploiting sex. How unintelligent and uncreative.
Look at the statistics on how many families are affected by sexual addictions because we are constantly visually assaulted by organizations that apparently can’t make an intelligent point without sexual imagery.

On your website, in order to post a message on the forum, you require adherence to the following guidelines:
Thanks for wanting to join PETA's forum! Before you join, take a quick moment to read over the sorts of activities that will get you kicked off (hopefully there won't be any surprises):
• Posting any information that is vulgar, harassing, hateful, threatening, invading of others' privacy, sexually oriented, or in violation of any laws (Does that shock you? Then you probably shouldn't be posting here.)
• Posting sexual solicitations, personal ads, arrangements to meet in person, invitations to "cyber," or any message with extremely sexual content or links to pornography
• Posting off-topic content or "spam" (PETA's forum exist to help animals. If you're here to be a "hater," just save us the trouble of deleting all your posts by leaving now.)
• Registering with a user name that is offensive
What hypocrites you are. PETA’s slogan is ‘Animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment.’ But apparently, women are fair game for entertainment, whether standing at the roadside in bikinis and cages, or in these offensive commercials. When placing these ads on television, you are “posting a message with extremely sexual content”. That’s cruelty to families, and unethical.

Congratulations. You got some attention. Your commercials will be circulated among scores of porn addicts and teenage boys. They will live on forever in video files – where they will be watched in secret by people with no concern for your cause. They will not be shared by families trying to teach their children about the ethical treatment of humans or animals. What useless trash you have created with my very last donations to your organization.

I disagree, but I guess having a cumber up your butt would be better than a gerbil. After, flesh is meat.

this should not have been pulled. it is informational and it shows vegetarians in a new sexy light... im guessing those girls are not vegetarians though!

It didn't fly because companies selling meat products have more money to pay for the air time!

My favorite subject SIX I mean SEX.

Thanks for that video clip you make my night tonight..wooooooooooohooooooooooooo.

All the women in that video are hot and smoking.

Kamasutra with vegies wooooooohhoooooo.

Hot tub with vegetables woooooooooohhhhhhooooo big orgy right there immediatly if not sooner with all those hot sexshy ladies. YEAH

isnt that Cyndi Crawford with the olive oil , man this video is hot and smoking ..yeah baby.

I love the women who are vegetarians, you know why? cause when you tell them if you can bring a plantain,cucumber,corn,babanas into the sex game they say ...YES PERFECT LOVER just do it .
lets get it on sexshy ladies....all you MILFS out there I LOVE YOU.

WHAT THE HELL! it wasn't that bad lol i have seen worse I think they cancled it because if wouldn't go well with the burger king ad

Pretty funny but it really does push the envelope, even for a superbowl ad.

Pedaling veggies with flesh?!?

The truth is, though, they DO.

So much for raising the consciousness of the planet.

OOHHHH pooor asexual Americans always afraid of sex. We get bombarded with killings and assassinations and wars, we glorify soldiers and secret agents and of course viagra and cialis.

But when they show some sexy legs and human parts HYPOCRITICAL americans condemn the videos and pictures as racy. Ohhhh poor asexual americans.

when is our country going to throw off the puritan shackles and be the land of the free.Sexy women lickin veggies is to much for a comercial during our gladiator sport thats idiotic

Actually, I thought the commercials were an opportunity to hit the can and pay rent on the brewskis.

tasteless, but so is everything anymore.

HA! I knew it!! Take that omnivores!

Off topic, but does anyone else find the "newest posts at the bottom of list and older posts at top" a bit annoying? Has it always been like this or have I just not visited current in a while?

NBC should ban this commercial simply because it's dumb. I'm a vegetarian, and I still found this really lame. PETA looks ridiculous with a commercial like this.

Does anyone take PETA seriously anymore?

PETA is barking up the wrong tree at the superbowl. Not exactly their demographic.

Wheres the meat???
(it was the funniest thing i can think of)

Honestly, I'm happy they pulled it. Im already a vegetarian and that didn't appeal to me or make me proud to be one.

Nothing to do with sexuality. But the fact is, WHAT does vegetarianism or veganism have to do with being good in bed? Seriously. AND if it were a real study, they would cite it.

I get vegs eat more foods that promote longevity--vegetables, fruits and whole grains--to make up for the hole in their diet, and I mean I would assume that someone who is healthier = better in bed because you are a bit more agile and can last longer (physically, "LASTING" is the guys issue lol). But I know TONS of vegetarians that are not in fantastic shape - Shoot - I need to workout more and eat better... meat or no meat - and tons of people who eat meat... in moderation... that are perfectly healthy.

I know vegs that are lacking in essential vitamins and people who eat meat who aren't.

Im not saying its one way or the other (again, I don't eat meat!) but its everything in moderation. Going Vegan or Vegetarian or Pescatarian or WHATEVER should be a persons choice - not something they are doing because PETA is falsely advertising that you'll be a sex goddess as soon as you stop eating meat and make making stew a sexy time.

Am I good in bed? Who knows. I havent gotten complaints. But im not better or no worse compared to when I ate meat and now that I don't.

This ad is no more sexually explicit than hundreds of ads and TV shows they do run. The reason they are pulling it is the same reason most corporations do anything: money. The ad might actually be effective, and would thereby offend half their other advertisers - McDonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell, Wendy's, KFC, Quiznoz, and Weenerschnitzel.

PETA needs to rethink it's strategy.

I don't really want to comment on PETA's commercial. It really appeals to me and I'm inclined to study it again!

I realize that as a Superbowl viewer, this is the exact appeal that PETA strives for. Only meat eater prudes, would have gripes. I guess I am more sexual than omnivores as a life-long ovo-lacto vegetarian.

its a little much for the superbowl....i mean little kids watch the show and i would personally feel uncomfortable having to explain why vegetarians have better sex to a munchkin

as a vegan, i would like to first off give a whole-hearted fuck you to PETA, because they are constantly making vegans/vegetarians look like psychotic militant assholes, and i would even agree with those who oppose it that their style is a bit vehement.
despite this ad's explicit content. it's very poorly made, it says nothing of the vegetarian/vegan lifestyle, it just exploits women in their 'standard of beauty' and gives a slogan that shows nothing about the benefits of a veg lifestyle. just because sex sells, it doesn't mean that it will always work.

Rofl how the fuck can anyone prove that veges get betetr sex thats such a stupid comment just trying to make more people eat healthier! lol stupid Americans will by it tho :P

PeTA is always off point...

they should allow this to air...it would be good

When meat is outlawed only outlaws will have meat...
Sound familiar?

I loved the asparagus flying up in the air! Props to Peta, I didn't think they had it in them to conjure up something hilariously inventive and provocative at the same time. Although I don't believe the hype myself. I LOVE MEAT! Take that how you will. LOL.

I can't believe how conservative americans are.

This was very tame people.

Really. I see that you disagree, but really stop being prudes.

Look like my next girlfriend will be a vegetarian or the next girl I sleep with.

Is it realistic to expect the whole meat industry will someday founder and cease to exist because of pressures from organizations like PETA...
or because of massed conversions of individuals to vegetarianism?

i think they should have evened out the playing field a little bit.
why are there just sexy girls in there?
I understand that the audience of the superbowl is mostly men, but guys need to understand that there are sexy male vegetarians out there too.
I know that breaking the male stereotype of fat, beer-guzzling, meat-eating, football-watching DUDE is hard for america, but come on, it's necessary.
Sexy girls flaunting themselves just sets those guys up for disappointment when they can't attract them because they are gross meat-eating pigs.
haha, I guess I'm just a huge supporter of the metrosexual male.

it's funny, i eat nothing but meat and green veggies and fruits, my only strictly carb intake is beer. no bread, and my girl cant stop screaming. i think she might object to the veggies have better sex thing. i think it prolly has more to do with cholesterol than meat., as i eat lean meats and get a lot of excercise, oh and vitamins are espescially important. get a lot of vitamin c ;-)

LET IT ROLL!!
McDonald's posts sizzling 80% profit, ONE OF THE FEW COMPANIES STILL MAKING MONEY. SICK

bet they dont show ppl with their hair falling out and brittle nails because of lack of protein intake.

I am beyond disgusted with PETA's campaign tactics. They should be shunned by the entire AR community, as they are soon to be.

Man that was Hot...I swear i saw some side tit in there somewhere...I did...just checked it, right after the better sex words a little blurry but there is definitely some side tit... maybe even a nipple

GO PETA!!!

I dont think this is much worse than some of the beer and Axe ads Ive seen on TV, its still a bit much and ever since the Janet Jackson Nipplegate, they've been super paranoid about the Super Bowl so Im not surprised this got nixed.

Well, what do you guys think gets an average superbowl watching person's attention? Some hippy prof telling him how healthy veg food is? He'll laugh and eat another handful of chips and a sip of coke.
Or better yet, lets tell the meateaters what pain theyre causing, because everyone just LOVES getting lectured.
The ad doesnt reflect what the PETA is about, but what the common american is about.

It appears PETA cares more about animal rights than human dignity....

FUCK NBC!

Getting people to do something for the wrong reasons is like not getting them to do it at all.

Trying to use sex and rock n' roll to protect animal welfare just seems weird.

If you can't make a case on the facts of the matter, then perhaps you don't have a case to begin with?

If they wanted to get a real response, why don't they just spend the ? million to show that sickening video of fishermen using kittens as shark bait.

There's a nerve to touch, because it might make everyone realize animals have feelings too even if they can't express them.

Perhaps a half veggie-sex, half-kitty bait commercial to really f*ck with peoples emotions?

So they can have the lingerie bowl but not this, that doesn't make sense.

They have better sex because they looooove the meat. Yes, I did just go there.

this was obviously pulled due to disagreement with PETA than any problems with it's sexual content..

This commercial is not suitable for the little people. To figure out if a commercial is not suitable just ask yourself if it would make you uncomfortable watching with a kinder gardener, or your 5 year old daughter.. For sure they are going to say " Mommy can I have sex vegetables? These lil kids are going to grow up like sluts and hos, albeit healthy ho's!

hmmm.. Frank Zappa flashback. Call any vegetable... rutaba..e..a.ga..rutabaga... and I'm pretty sure brocolli eater was poring on the extra virgin olive oil. How sarcastic...

They pulled it because they didn't want kids to see it.

and peta expects to be taken seriously??

Regardless of what it stands for it is racy for tv, all tv is getting that way. Case in point, I was watching tv last night, laughing along at a sitcom, they were saying the word sex addict. My five year old looks up at me and says "I am a sex addict mom" and although it does seem funny (and I am always guilty of almost laughing) she still said something highly inappropriate and beyond her understanding. Things don't need to be "Sexy" to get the point across that vegetarians are healthy. It's counterproductive.

The commercial is well past the limit. PETA, chill out!

Where's the cucumber?WTF.

a little disturbing, but not any worse then the lingerie bowl or any other commercial with half naked women

I don't know what I'd do if NBC wasn't there to be my moral compass.
I find it funny that they think of the Super Bowl as "family" programming....."Yeah kids, legs gather around and watch a heap of overpaid juiced up criminals run around in spandex! And get paid more than your life is worth to do it. Isn't the Super Bowl AWESOME!"

It could only get better if the woman in the ad was a furry! (if you dont get it, Google furry).

Hot women, but let's get real PETA

The problem with the add is the blatant sexuality. Including the slogan. Personally I like the commercial; it makes me want to go eat some veggies. Yet this commercial is extremely inappropriate for a "family" show. There has been a huge backlash against this kind of ad since the Janet wardrobe malfunction.

ack*

How about we discuss your exploitation of women.

No but actually I am a vegetarian but not the same type as the PETA organization represents. Those people are about as rediculous as it gets. Down with conventional meat production, I say!

And something else, PETA, hope about we discuss your exploitation of women. Its pissing me off.
