I actually agree.  When I first read about the ad over at Fox I immediately became uncomfortable and was about to start ranting about how immoral the ad was, etc.  Then I watched the ad myself.  From start to finish, even a moron would know this was an attention-grabbing attempt on part of PETA.  It was like a "Saturday Night Live" skit and nothing more.

Actually is a cute ad. And it does hit the point appropriately. A lot of people now-a-days think of their pets as their children.

Well...

I'll try this again...I had a longer post expressing what and how I have felt about PETA over the years, plus this ad and the gal that has been all over the place with it today on all the cable networks.... and it went poof...so this will be shorter...

Screw PETA...

....there...I feel better.

Most people are smart enough to understand things like metaphors, so next time make your point a little more subtle if you want controversy.

It's sad that PETA has to make up controversy about their own ads to make it into the media.

After hurricane Katrina, PETA was given thousands of pets to care for until they could be reunited with their owners. When there was no more money to be made from this, PETA solved the problem by killing all the animals. Really ethical people aren't they?

I'm sorry, maybe I am too much of an old fuddy duddy, but I am tired of seeing everything on TV becoming sexualized.

I can't stand all of those commercials for Viagra, Cialis and other medications that are intended to enhance your sexual performance. Those commercials make it seem like they are selling an aphrodisiac. I hate watching them so much that I mute the TV at first sign that one is coming on.

I am also assaulted on the AM radio with similar commercials from Boston Medical Group and several other non-prescription pills that are supposed to enhance sex. They even have commercials for these over-the-counter products for women. I think that the over the counter products are scams and should be investigated.

I wonder how many people who do take Viagra or Cialis are physically healthy and are just using it as a recreational drug in order to enhance their experience. I wonder how many people are taking it to counter the sexual side effects of cocaine or other illegal drugs. I wonder if they sell Viagra and Cialis on the black market, in night clubs or in conjunction with cocaine; because cocaine tends to make your mind want sex, but your body is unable to perform..

I don't like any of those commercials on TV for medications. They are pushing many of the drugs on people who don't even need it. Did you know that 20,000 people a year die from abusing legal medications? Many of the medications that they are pushing on TV, are the same ones that people are abusing.

I often hear the media tout the fact that deaths from illicit drugs has dropped to 17,000 per year, but they never mention that 20,000 people also die annually from abusing prescription medications, like Kieth Ledger. Recently I heard a statistic that said 40% of Americans are currently taking some kind of medication. I wonder how much of that is actually necessary.

Pharmaceutical medications have replaced illegal drugs for many addicts, and the drug companies are happy to have their business. Thanks to the Medicare Prescription Drug program, our taxes are we paying for many drug addicts fixes.

Here is a link to an article, from "Times Online" that I read shortly after Keith Ledges death about the abuse of prescription medication. 

I fear that many of our lawmakers in congress are on some type of legal medications such as Prozac, Zoloft, Xanax, Ambien, Valium, Ritalin, Viagra, etc. Although these medications can be legal prescribed, don't you think that they can affect a lawmakers judgment. Whenever I see Nancy Polocy on TV, it looks like she is on some type of psychotropic medication. She has facial twitches and it appears that she has a dry mouth. Wouldn't it be prudent to get rid of lawmakers that have mental problems that requires medication.

I guess I kind of veered off course from the topic, but it reminded me of all those commercials on TV that I hate watching.

I don't think that they should portray teenagers talking so casually about sex on TV. Also, I am not so sure how I feel about "fixing" animals. After all, if the animals aren't pedophiles, they are receiving cruel and unusual punishment for no reason. That entire commercial rubbed me the wrong way.

This was a great ad.  I'm dissapointed and surprised to find that there actually must be at least one sane person working at PETA.  Most of their previous output had demonstrated that they are litterally insane.

if they'd wanted to be edgy, confrontational, and controversial, that family would have been black.
