An ironic show of a lack of morals from the self righteous wackos.

I don't know, I kinda liked it. Did not see anything over the top or at least that you don't see every night on network TV.

Who they are or what they believe really isn't an issue plus the add is only promoting being a vegetarian (not for me but I have no problem with it).

Not like their were any "wardrobe malfunctions" they seemed to work just fine..........

I think it's a brilliant commercial

I've definitely seen worse on network television...

Where did the vegtables come from? I thought PETA stood for People Eating Tasty Animals.

Wow, she licked a pumpkin...can't have that on Prime Time. Must have had their minds made up before they watched the video. A pumpkin...not a...well, fill in the phallic vegetable of your choice...a freakin pumpkin.

I saw that video the other day..... I thought about posting it on SB, but just figured the "easily offended" would report my post there...


Anyway, here's my take. PETA never had any intention of paying $3 million to put this commercial on during the superbowl.

What they did was make a video that had enough sexual existence in it so that it would get banned from showing (therefore not having to pay the $3 million), but would cause enough controversary and excitement that millions of people would download it off the internet and view it for free.

They are a bunch of morons, but they played this "free advertising plan" like a fiddle.

now everyone's watching it and talking about it and they didn't have to pay $3 million for airing it at the superbowl.

Just like what Godaddy and Danica Patrick (my hero ) did last year.

I beleive Bud and Levi did the same thing. A quick trip to youtube shows the Levi commerical with almost 10 Million views. (adding up the different videos) Pretty good advertising on Google's dime.

Although not offended, does anyone, besides me, find this commercial just a bit bizarre?

Super models licking pumpkins and other assorted vegetables?? uh, ok, does not do anything for me except make me laugh..

now.....hot super models in scuba gear...that's a different story and I will pay attention.
