Reason Enough To Become a Vegetarian?
All right, I’m no supporter of PETA, but I ran across these ads and wondered if its current campaign featuring assorted actors and A-listers declaring their vegetarianism (and support for PETA) actually moves anyone to become a vegetarian.
PETA doesn’t particularly care about our health. They advocate vegetarianism in order to protect animals. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, mind you.
So does anyone really get behind PETA or become a vegetarian because they like seeing Alicia Silverstone or Sophie Monk naked? I mean, I’m a red blooded American male who enjoys seeing naked women as much as the next guy, but I’ve never felt an urge to buy a Caterpillar tractor because a naked actress posed for their calendar…

Hell yes, sign me up!
Who is Sophie Monk?
HOT Australian pop singer, actress and occasional model. Was in "Click" with Adam Sandler.
She is VERY hot.....(Excuse me, I have to go get some red chili peppers and join PETA).....
PETA doesn't seem to mind exploiting women, do they. They are disgusting!!
The latest advertisements have them wearing designer vegetables. It is much more tasteful I think. And there are some hot guys in their ads to appeal to women. Paul McCartney did one (dressed) and so did Ron Artest ('Have the balls to spay or neuter your dog').
It is a shotgun campaign that tries to appeal to every demographic. But shotgunning sometimes backfires because what appeals to one audience may turn off another.
Designer vegetables more "tasteful" than red chili peppers? Maybe, but not as "hot".
(Ha ha, we punned!!)
Melissa, they are just passionate about protecting (saving) all animals. I disagree with some of their tactics like splashing red paint on people's expensive fur coats but photographing nude women (who I am willing to bet stand in long lines for the chance to be photographed for big ad campaigns like this) is not exploitive. And it is done in "good taste".
(Me too! Me to!)
Admit it Doug, THIS is why you are eating your veggies and shunning meat! You are part of the "horny" demographic the ads are aimed at. Advertising works!
If you want to eat healthy meat, eat a vegetarian!
(Come on, that is funny!)

Here's a pretty good visual joke

I still like the ad Pam Anderson did with PETA "give fur the cold sholder."

Well, now Pam wants us to turn over "a new leaf..."
