Can you belive the vegetarian comunity are useing naked women to sell there views. Is there no one who won't sink to this low?
Also, What a great advert, she almost had me sold, but all I fancy now is her, and a nice bacon sandwitch.

I saw the ad, a little risque. However from an advertising standpoint brilliant. Sex sells, or at least gets people's attention.
As others have said PETA does not represent the vegetarian community. PETA is not the only organization that uses advertising like that. As I said sex sells and you can look in any magazine and see ads that look just like that, but how many people get all up in arms when they see Victoria Secret ads, some Herbal Essence ads, etc.

I can't think of any obscene things from the ad. Maybe it's because of Alicia who doesn't lead to any ribald thoughts.
Although sex or nudity sells, the banning of it gets even more attention.
Or maybe some useless people in some authority want to show off.

what's wrong with that... naked women are used to sell everything, and they're clearly trying to bust the myth that veg*ns are all skelital hippies bound in lose pale skin...
Celebrity works... i can give people factual and solid arguments supporting veg*anisim but nothing gets a better reaction than
"woody harilson is a vegan" or " casey aflek is vegan"
You can see it on there faces... "ah no ****... i like that guy... hmmm"
I wish logic and facts would do in the support and defence of the life style, but you gotta go with what's most effective at the end of the day.

I didn't think the advertisement was that bad, but I really didn;t get it why they filmed that way. I guess just using her naked to get people excited for PETA's views? I am not sure. Maybe they did it because they knew that it would be pulled and it would create a lot of traffice to their web site. If that is the case then it is not such a bad idea.

May I point out that it is PeTA and not the "vegetarian community" that is using naked women to "sell" their views.

I agree 100% with Mookiemonkee.PeTA doesn't represent all of us.
