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.

ROFL!

[Mr. Mojo]

Find me a cute female PETA activist, and I'll prove my "performance".

Here you go, dude.

What is a CBS?

GROODY SKANK ALERT - SHE HAS HEP C Hep C can be transmitted sexually and it is incurable and more infections than HIV

[Larry Lucido]

Isn't there a joke where the scantily clad woman turns into a pizza and 6-pack afterwards?

[PetroniDE]

Kind of had the more typical 19-20 yr old activist in mind. The type that is protesting because it is the "hip" thing to do type. ROFLOL.

[PetroniDE]

Your tagline reminds me of my cat. Arise -- kill -- eat.

Where do these idiots get their money? (Scratching head in puzzlement)

[talleyman]

...eating these products are [sic] making Americans fat, sick and boring in bed...

(singular subject requires singular verb form) Boring? obviously she's never seen what you can do with a lawn chair, a milk bottle and a tuning fork...

Looking at pictures of 'the Girls of PETA' causes impotence.

I tried vegetarian diet a few years ago. Shortly thereafter, I began to rapidly lose stamina in the bedroom (as well all other areas). Problem went away as soon as I came to my senses and started eating meat again.

heh heh... :-)

From the gullible masses who have nothing better to live for than robbing people of private property rights.

[Terriergal]

Two scantily clad women try to seduce a pizza man but discover that he can't deliver "the goods".

So was the pizza a vegetarian pizza?

And hey, the poor guy was probably scared, all he was trying to do was deliver a pizza and these bimbos ganged up on him!

[Terriergal]

Why the hell does PETA still have access to two million bucks? I thought we were freezing the accounts of the various terrorist organizations.

Very good question!

[Diddle E. Squat]

Since when are NBA stars vegetarians?

[Terriergal]

I said "cute".

Beauty is only skin deep but ugly goes to the core, ya know. I don't think 'cute' and 'PETA activist' can really honestly belong in the same sentence.

It appears that vegetarianism causes the early onset of mental illness.

What if mental illness actually causes vegetarianism?

[Terriergal]

As jdege observes in his post #17 -- I thought we were freezing the assets of all these terrorist organizations?
