Peons who Epitomize Tasteless Advertising (PETA)

Jul 23, 2004 00:31

These days, it seems almost futile to protest the rampant exploitation and objectification of women in the media. Given its mainstream prevalance coupled with the rather disturbing aura of complacency and acceptance among women, I decided to abandon hope of trying to incite a feminist backlash against these outrageous beauty standards. In fact, ( Read more... )

HAHA, that's awesome you posted that pic of Ingrid...and with the Grinch and Joker!! I didn't want to seem, um, uh, catty, but when I first read her response the NOW letter, I was like 'What? You homely bitch!!' I was getting pissed again, then I saw that!!

I agree. Ingrid Newkirk has got to be the most hideous woman I've ever seen in my entire life. Where does she get off insulting someone else's appearance? I mean seriously, just look at this woman:

Do you mean to tell me that someone actually paid for that ... thing ... to have sex with them?

*shivers*

I hope it came with the prerequisite biohazard suit, safety goggles, paper bag X 3 (one for her and one for you in case hers breaks + vomit bag), blindfold, and 50 cases of 80 proof vodka to get you sufficiently drunk so that you die of alcohol poisoning long before realizing what you've done. Also, you would probably need to have some horribly disfiguring or life-threatening disease before you'd be desperate enough to even consider it.

Its a good thing animals aren't too fussy. At least now we know why she prefers them to humans.

As for Charlize Theron/Eileen Warnos .. I'll take the beer instead, thanks.

Another part in why I hate PETA so!! My I also add in my two cents on how irresponsible this campaign was? I think I remember reading it had millions of hits from college students the first day it was posted online. Really, do college kids need any more encouragement? Aren't there enough drunk drivers littering highways, date rapes rampant on campuses, and the deaths cause by alcohol abuse already??

Got a Brain? Anyone with half a lobe can spot the opportunity to strike up a deal with White Wave or Rice Dream. Steering milk drinkers away from a cow, no destructive behavior being promoted. Hhhmm, well maybe they were smart enough to stay away from PETA, and thebeer co's were all on board because they use similar advertising techniques.

I thought you liked peta???
you yelled at the jewish girl on my journal for saying they sux..

I guess that was before I knew what PETA was about. I only disagreed with the Jewish girl for taking issue with the fact that they compared the slaughter of animals to the Holocaust. However, that must have been at least 6-7 months ago, and I really knew very little about PETA as an organization. When I finally did some research on the subject (after reading neosplinter's comment on kumputer's journal), I discovered how disgusting they truly were.
