I don't care much for the Networks, but I am glad CBS came through on this one:
PETA's impotence ad a no-no with CBS for Super Bowl
Animal rights group says network rejects $2M to air its meat/impotence ad during Super Bowl.
January 15, 2004: 3:51 PM EST
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - This is PETA's Super Bowl ad pitch to CBS: Two scantily clad women try to seduce a pizza man but discover that he can't deliver "the goods". CBS rejected the ad. PETA says the network isn't playing fair.
Michael McGraw, spokesman for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), said the group used the provocative subject matter to make the point that eating meat causes impotence.
You kind of figure that out toward the end of the 30-second commercial when the two women express their happiness with a "vegetarian" delivery boy.
CBS rejected PETA's racy 30 seconds Super Bowl ad.
CBS turned down the hefty $2 million that the group was willing to pay the network to have the commercial aired during its Super Bowl XXVIII broadcast on Feb. 1.
CBS spokesman Dana McClintock said the network rejected the ad because of its "general policy against airing advocacy advertisements.
PETA argues that's not true, pointing out that CBS had aired an anti-smoking commercial from Truth.com during the Super Bowl.
"CBS has no problem with airing commercial after commercial advocating the consumption of fried chicken, pork sausage and fast-food burgers, even though eating these products are making Americans fat, sick and boring in bed," PETA spokeswoman Lisa Lange wrote in an e-mail to CNN/Money.
"Our ad has all three of advertising's most popular elements -- sex, humor, and animals --so the network should jump on it." she said.

Good News! They are running the Anti-PETA TV ads again. Here is some information: Anti PETA Television Ads Reveal Group's Darker Side Animal Rights Group Has Financed Arson and Other Violence Washington, DC -- A controversial new television ad campaign launched this week by the Center for Consumer Freedom is certain to give the publicity hounds at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) the sort of attention they don’t actually want. The two spots feature a darker side of PETA that will likely shock many of the group's supporters. The first of two 30-second commercials features a young woman who talks about teaching her children to love and respect animals. But she denounces PETA's support of arson and other animal-rights violence as too extreme and unacceptable. The second spot highlights PETA's opposition to all medical research using animals, including efforts to find cures for leukemia, multiple sclerosis, and AIDS. PETA even donated $70,000 from its tax-exempt contributions to Rodney Coronado, a convicted criminal who burned down a Michigan State University research lab. PETA president Ingrid Newkirk recently referred to Coronado as a "fine young man." The ad shows Coronado, videotaped less than a year after his parole expired, demonstrating to student activists how to build a firebomb. The Center for Consumer Freedom's ads will begin airing nationally this week on the Fox News Channel. Visit www.consumerfreedom.com/ad_campaign.cfm to view these new ads.

7 Things You Didn't Know About PETA :
PETA has stated repeatedly that their goal is "total animal liberation." This means no pets, no meat, no milk, no zoos, no circuses, no fishing, no leather, and no animal testing for lifesaving medicines.
PETA has given tens of thousands of dollars to convicted arsonists and other violent criminals.
PETA funds the misnamed Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, an animal-rights organization that presents itself as an unbiased source for nutritional information and has links to a violent animal-rights group called SHAC.
PETA has used their contributors’ tax-exempt donations to fund the North American Earth Liberation front, an FBI-certified “domestic terrorist” group responsible for fire bombs and death threats.
PETA regularly targets kids as early as elementary school with anti-meat and anti-milk propaganda.
PETA spends less than one percent of its $13 million budget actually caring for animals.
PETA has repeatedly attacked groups like the March of Dimes, the Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and the American Cancer Society, for conducting animal testing to find cures for birth defects and life-threatening diseases.

Every time that I hear or see the letters PETA, it makes me want to fire up the grill and toss on another ribeye. "Could you please pass the backstraps"!

"Our ad has all three of advertising's most popular elements -- sex, humor, and animals so the network should jump on it." she said. Sounds a bit to kinky for me. I think it is the animals, I'm not into that kind of thing. Could be the humor, there is something about a woman laughing when I get naked that just doesn't do it for me.  ;D |
