This is PETA's Super Bowl ad pitch to CBS: Two scantily clad women try to seduce a pizza man but discover that he can't deliver "the goods". CBS rejected the ad. PETA says the network isn't playing fair.

Michael McGraw, spokesman for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), said the group used the provocative subject matter to make the point that eating meat causes impotence.

Interesting. The real agenda becomes clearer: they want men to become like women.

I take it that you think PETA may be a good thing?

NO
But I think Eskin and PETA deserve each other

She's proving my first point, the slaw-eating slut.

She don't eat meat but she sure likes the bone, eh?

The Eskimos of the Artic have a very low rate of heart disease and are, for the most part in good shape,
aerobically. Their diet is rich in blubber which contains fat but the 'good kind' i.e. lots of Omega 3 fatty acids.

Eskimos are known for their good teeth - their diets contain no sweets!

Mormons of Utah. Mormons have 1/3 less deaths of
cancer and 50 percent less heart attacks than
the 'average' American. Due to Low Fat Diets

Japanese are known for the fact that there is NO WORD for "PMS" in Japanese -
obviously their women don't have PMS. Additionally they suffer very little if none from menopause. This is usually attributed to the fact that most
Japanese women eat TOFU on a daily basis. Japanese in large numbers also, they commute to work by bicycle, thus getting exercise.

PETA's impotence claim is about as accurate as their "Jesus was a vegetarian" one. Yeah, that's why Jesus did the miracle of loaves and FISHES, not loaves and tofu!

Well he sure did not eat GRITS, FRIED OKRA and all that other wonderful healthy food they eat in the deep south.

No dis-respect but when I lived visted parts of the south, I never seen so many fat people until I saw what they were eating and it was more than a diet of healthy meat.

Yeah, but PETA would support those foods, because they're technically "vegetarian"!

PETA supporters who look like this can also kill sexual desire:

Of course it is fair game to advertise advocacy ads against tobacco. The courts have demanded such advertising and while tobacco firms' parent companies advertise on CBS, there are no cigarette ads to potentially run on CBS.

<img src="http://www.cnn.com/interactive/specials/9912/yearinreview.passages/content/images/chamberlain.jpg> <P> Wilt Chamberlain often went out for wheatgrass shots, after polishing off tofu burger and sesame paste. Or maybe not.
