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.

Enzyte commercials are the worst,

THAT was the name of the product I saw on an ad the other night! Cyrano was out of the room and I burst out laughing and I just can't bear to explain it to him, it'll ruin the joke!

I think we should demand that PETA provide the detailed research that went into that assertion.
Were any of the test subjects Freepers? Or were they all from San Francisco?

Ok I hope I can say this without causing a stir...
But if your going to eat a heavy diet of Red Meat, every 3 months you should get a high colonic enema so to speak.

Red Meat does not digest very well, and cleaning out your intestines on a semi-regular basis will help you achieve optimum health.

In fact many people that have them for a first time leave with there body going through a achy feeling, fever a general feeling of malaise as bacteria leaves your body.

After that you get yourself a full body massage and your good to go. I guess to start on your next batch of Red Meat.

Where is the evidence that eating meat causes impotence?

The paranoid rumor mill likes to say that the money grubbing ranchers like to shot up feeder cattle with diethylstibestrol, a feminine steroid in order to fatten and soften them up. So therefore if you eat meat you have abnormal female hormones in your system that causes all kinds of health problems in women and men. Pure poppycock, but the vegans like to believe it.

Probably so unless they also take special supplements. I remember reading an article about Bill Walton ... he had gone vegetarian in the 70s and ended up with a severe magnesium deficiency. Once the doctors learned that Walton's vegetarianism wasn't based on "don't want to kill animals" but rather on "this is healthy, isn't it?", they told him to go eat a frickin steak every few days. He did; no more magnesium problems since.

I can't take credit for "wangular softitude." That's straight off of "The Ladies' Man" skit on Saturday Night Live.

No problems here with my meat eating hubby and he's in his mid-40's.

Perhaps vegetarian women leave meat eating men flat;-)

The elements in soy is the very reason I would hesitate ever giving a baby boy soy formula or a male child soy milk.

No offense..
But Camels are the stinkiest Cigs. I stopped smoking about 7 yrs ago Marlboro Light 100's and Camels when I smoked Stunk so you can imagine what they are like for someone sitting next to you that doesn't smoke.

I would rather be around someone who "dipped" than smoke Camels.
Stopping smoking is challenging just have to figure out something else to do...

Advocating not eating mat to millions of meat eaters would be suicide for CBS especially during the super bowl with chili dips and ribs BBQ pork and good steaks flying around in houses all over America

Peta needs to take a break and eat a good plate of haggis and fine lager!

Soy is what they have been promoting for women experiencing the symptoms of menopause, Hot Flashes, Mood Swings, Breast Tenderness but they have now found that there is other means of diet reducing those symptoms of Menopause. High Calcium, Fiber, and lots of fruits and veggies.

They have also promoted the herb "MACA" grown from the "ANDES" for women with low sex drive it's like a natural testosterone without side affects.

If I had my choice, I'd rather stick a cigarette in my mouth than put a garden hose up my butt.

*nod* I'd go even further: I wouldn't give to any of the following:

Any male, period;
Females under 18 or so;
Females who are, or who may be / wish to become, pregnant (regardless of the gender of the baby ... but esp. if male!)
