Default PETA tries to buy Super Bowl advertising

Oh. My.

PETA supporters, your 'donation to animals'** dollars at work

**Trick phrase. PETA doesn't help any animals.

Uh ... the ad was rejected by NBC (?) for being too sexy. Woman and vegetables.

Seriously.

Dang - just noticed I have posted two threads. Lo siento!

the commercial made no sense to me

for somereason I thought about the bugs bunny cartoon where Bugs ends up in a witch's stew pot and she is cutting up veggies and adding it to the stew. He has her drink a potion and she turns from an ugly old witch to young beautiful witch.

I would imagine (since I'm not a woman) that pumpkins would be a poor choice of veggie for whatever it was they were trying to convey...there. Jus' sayin'
