Pammy's ad Gets Scrapped from the Super Bowl

Super Bowl. But and however, the ad has been pulled for being too racy. In the ad women in lingerie are fondling and kissing vegetables in efforts to encourage sports fans to go veggie
NBC Universal vice president of advertising standards, Victoria Morgan, states, "The PETA spot submitted to Advertising Standards depicts a level of sexuality exceeding our standards." But PETA bosses contend, "Studies Show: Vegetarians Have Better Sex", should never have been axed - and they fear there's another reason behind the ban. Group Senior Vice President Lisa Lange says, "PETA designed the commercial to add balance to the traditional onslaught of Super Bowl commercials for meaty, greasy, and factory-farmed fast food, including those run by KFC. The fast-food giant is a major NBC sponsor, and a target of heavy PETA campaigning as a result of its failure to reform cruel animal welfare practices and slaughter methods. "PETA is asking if this relationship could have something to do with NBC's decision to nix the group's ad. "PETA's veggie ads are locked out while ads for fried chicken and burgers are allowed - even though these foods make Americans fat, sick, and boring in bed." PETA spokesman Michael MCGraw adds, "The bottom line is, the ad is a fun, tongue-in cheek way of calling attention to the healthy, sexy, and humane reasons for switching to a vegetarian diet."

PETA is After Michael Vick

Animal rights group PETA has it out for Michael Vick.
“Saying sorry and getting his ball back after being caught enjoying killing dogs in hideously cruel ways for many years doesn’t cut it,” PETA president Ingrid Newkirk said. “Commissioner Goodell knows that he has an obligation to the league and to millions of fans, including children… to make sure Michael Vick is mentally capable of remorse before he can touch, let alone wear, an NFL uniform again.” PETA’s letter comes following 18-months of negotiations with Vick’s reps about an agreement for Vick to film an anti-dogfight advertisement after his release from prison.

I love little puppy dogs as much as the next girl but really this needs to stop. He’s serving his time…give the guy a friggin break.

Gwyneth Outrages PETA

Gwyneth Paltrow, whom I would guess is one of the most green people I know has angered the PETA folks with a new fur ad. She’s appearing in an ad campaign for Tod’s draped in fox fur. PETA director Mark Glover says, "Gwyneth Paltrow should be ashamed. I can only assume that Paltrow either is ignorant of the facts or lacks human decency and compassion. We've written to her many times, and sent her videos showing how animals suffer for fur, but have never received a response. Apparently her beauty really is only skin deep. Gwyneth Paltrow won't be the apple of her daughter's eye if she continues to flaunt fur. It's a terrible example to set for a young child." Source
I’m sorry, but I’m not all that green so I don’t see the big deal. If someone paid me to pose in a tub of dead baby seals I’m not so sure I’d say no. I mean, we’ve been recycling for years and our planet is still doomed to shit right? So I say kudos to Gwyneth. Do you!

PETA Has Quite an Offer For Aretha

Remember when I told y’all a few weeks ago that aunt Re-Re was about to loose her house if she didn’t pay almost $20k in taxes and fees? Well her arch-enemy, PETA, has offered to give her a hand. They’ll pay off her tax bill. What’s her end of the deal? She has to promise to never wear fur again and to donate her unwanted furs to PETA. Source
So I like all the little woodland creatures and everything (actually I don’t really care). And we’ve seen Aretha’s attempts to annihilate all of our furry friends over the years by wearing her tent. sized furs. See Exhibits A-J

And all of that is very unfortunate. But I fear we’ve forgotten what happens when Aretha doesn’t have on one of her beloved cloaks…

We get THIS tomfoolery! So Lo votes that she keep the furs. Nuff said.
