PETA Kissing Ladies Offending People, Including Lesbians
Written by Vegetarian Star on February 19th, 2009 in Misc Artists and Performers.
PETA has many foes and counting.
Their latest enemies include those offended by their Valentine’s Day display of two women kissing and showing affection to promote their “Vegetarians Make Better Lovers” campaign.
Since having to walk pass the display of lesbian affection that took place last week, numerous people have complained, including gays and lesbians.
According to politics.randomplayground.net, one blogger wrote in dismay, “All this little love fest shows is that lesbian relationships need validation and that women exist to titillate the sexual fantasies of men.”
The gay and lesbian blog, After Ellen, had this to say:
“PETA is placating to the stereotypical straight male fantasy that two women can’t wait for a big, burly man to come in and finish the job, or in this case, a big, burly broccoli-loving man. Sorry, PETA, but your latest stunt makes me hungry for a Big Mac.”
Fox News has proven it’s not a fan of PETA, as the station has aired programs with the anchors poking fun of the group, such as eating Kentucky Fried Chicken while making fun of their campaigns.
The station recently featured a PETA spokesperson to discuss the Veggie Love campaign. When the Fox anchor asked if PETA’s sexual gimmicks were an effective ad campaign, the PETA spokesperson cited numerous evidence that their campaigns worked, including people walking away with Vegetarian Starter Kits, and downloading vegetarian recipes after watching the NBC rejected Super Bowl ad on their website.
In all fairness, the viewers might have thought the links led to more porn, versus vegetarian info.
Seriously, though. Is PETA getting riskier and riskier with these sexual ad campaigns? In the beginning, there were nude, but still artful and tasteful photos of celebrities proclaiming to shun fur and embrace the meatless lifestyle. Now the group has progressed to veggie porn videos and public displays of lesbian affection, that even some lesbians find offensive.
Watch the video to view the interview between Fox and PETA. Should PETA start cleaning up its act or risk losing credibility?
