PETA...your scare tactics are so passé !

I used to be an obsessive, crazy vegan who didn't eat (or wear) any animals or animal products, and once I believed PETA's graphic tactics were anything but insane, they were rather necessary to wake people up from mindlessly eating meat. But now I think PETA is psychoticly using their unproductive scare tatics to get people to stop eating meat. Their new ad with Casey Affleck has been banned on several tv channels(that only place to see it is at goveg.org .

Note to PETA: find new creative staff. Number one tool of the media industry, sex sells...so use it to your advantage! Impressionable teens would then be curious about vegetarianism if you had Casey Affleck sitting by the pool with his shirt off, drinking an organic fruit smoothie, doing push-ups, saying the dialogue you intended...(Casey Affleck:) “When people ask me why I don’t eat meat or any other animal products, I say, ‘Because they’re unhealthy, and they’re the product of a violent and inhumane industry.’” That would obviously get air time on MTV, VH1, The-N, Comedy Central, and all the stations popular for people ages 13-35. That sells vegetarianism! And get a celebrity for each demographic...and you've got thousand more young vegetarians converting over to the vegside everyday.

(I was going to post the video...so you could watch it and hate PETA for scaring you...but eh, why should I give PETA free promotion.)


PETA, get explodingdog.com to do something nice happy and creative for you...just stop scaring people...it doesn't help.
