CBS spokesman Dana McClintock said the network rejected the ad because of its "general policy against airing advocacy advertisements. PETA argues that's not true, pointing out that CBS had aired an anti-smoking commercial from Truth.com during the Super Bowl.

It's a proven fact that smoking is a deadly habit. No such reliable study exists suggesting that veggies = Viagra. What this ad seems to do best is suggest that vegetarians have more casual sex, putting them at risk for contracting AIDS, of which PETA honchette Ingrid Newkirk said, "Even if animal research resulted in a cure for AIDS, we'd be against it."

Even Philip Morris and RJ Reynolds -- the targets of the smug, self-righteous, often distorted Truth.com spots -- are doing their own anti-smoking ads, as a result of the Faustian deal to keep the Clinton administration from striking the industry dead.

CBS has nothing to fear from the tobacco giants if they run the anti-smoking spots, because they are prohibited from running ads for the product.

As for PETA spokesperson Lisa Lange, who says meat-eating is making Americans "boring in bed;" how much research has she done regarding that assertion? She's proving my first point, the slaw-eating slut.

Yep and especially for the occasional anti-smoking femi-nazi who tries to make me put out my Camel® in a bar -- after sitting down next to ME. WHILE I'm smoking!
