PETA promotes soft core porn?

Wow. The people at PETA are really something else.

Warning, the following video is highly suggestive and therefore may not be appropriate for anyone under 18.



Now here is the question. Is PETA promoting sex with vegetables?

That seems to be the only thing that this ad is promoting. Fetish sex. It does nothing to say that wearing a mink in Miami is wasteful or cruel. It does nothing to explain why pitbull fights are a horrendous act of depraved human beings.

Now I love animals as much as the average person. I can agree with a few of the things that PETA is against. But I am no fanatic. I love a good steak and cheeseburger. So PETA is targeting me in this ad that was rejected for the Super Bowl.

But beyond the suggestion that these women are using these vegetables as a means of self-gratification I don’t get the point. In fact the only thing that this commercial would make me wonder, besides what I have already stated, is where did the statistics on vegetarians come from? It’s not like I trust PETA enough to just take them at their word.

The only controversy in this television ad is what the woman is doing with the pumpkin, since the other women are very explicit in what they intend to do with their vegetables.

But PETA has me discussing this ad. So they are getting part of what they wanted. The problem is that I’m not discussing helping any animals. Nor am I thinking that being a vegetarian is of any more benefit than holding a carrot on a date.

They have failed their base, annoyed ultra-conservatives, titillated more than a few pre-teens, and exposed kids to a new fetish they probably didn't know of. And not one animal has benefited from the ad. At least they helped the women in the ad stay employed. That’s a positive.

If you use meatitarian, read this

Have you seen this Wendy’s television commercial?



The term “meatitarian” has been sweeping the nation. I know this because I was recently called one. Just to be clear, I hate vegetables. All of them. In a good year I might eat 1 salad, of just lettuce or plain spinach, or maybe a few in a can of soup. So to be clear I love to have meat in each meal. Or just meat as a meal. A good steak is fine all by itself, and sliced pepreroni is a great for a snack food. (potatoes are perhaps the only exception)

Thus I understand where the reasoning comes from in calling me a “meatitarian”. But the only thing I get from the commercial and the term is the unbridled idiocy of those using the term.

Seriously, are some people so dumb as to not understand that a word for this already exists? It’s called carnivore. So anyone using this word created by Wendy’s might as well just scream out loud “I am a lemming! I have trouble adding 1+1. And I run with scissors in my hand on wet floors!”

There really is no way to insult someone’s intelligence after they have uttered this term in a sentence. You just can’t reach lower than they have. Even Don King has better validation for the imaginative concoctions and combinations he utters as words in English. I really just can’t drown out the voice in my head that wants to choke such a person with a spoon (another term belonging to gowks – and yes I had to look up that word myself).

Perhaps I should look at this from a different perspective. Maybe a more British take on this will help. Only a complete plank would use such a term. The use is gobshite.

I think I’ve been very clear here, but for those that think this is a great word and useful (they are out there) I will be even more blunt. You are obviously the product of a defective gene pool, please do a favor to the human race and never procreate.

Now in reflecting on the matter, a friend brought up a great observation. Vegetarians are just herbivores. It’s the same kind of dumb, recessive gene, make up a term because you can’t read the actual word logic. And I have to say that this is correct.

Why is vegetarian good then? Who cares. Nobody cares what those emaciated, odd colored, odd smelling, too healthy to live, 2-legged cows call themselves.

But for the sake of being fair I looked up the definition and etymology of vegetarian. In fact the 2nd definition of vegetarian is herbivore. And they are those that eat fruits, vegetables, grains and nuts (which I personally think you have to be to not eat meat – and I’ve had an ex that proves it).

The words seems to have first appeared in 1839, is noted to be the irregular formation from vegetable (n.) + -arian, as in agrarian, etc. It’s popularity and use came from "… largely due to the formation of the Vegetarian Society in Ramsgate in 1847." This society believed that the word they created, vegetarian, was from the Latin 'vegetus' meaning 'lively' (which is how these early vegetarians claimed their diet made them feel).

Now in 1839 the word OK was first used. Belgium became a kingdom that year. The first state passed a law allowing women to own property, modern rubber was first created, and the first Opium War starts. In general people were uneducated and stupid enough to not realize that a vegetarian is just a herbivore. And the term just stuck as did the idea of eating grass as a meal.

I seriously hope this trend dies, because as dumb as Americans are joked around the world to be, this term proves it.
