NBC ban Super Bowl ad because it's too sexy

Apparently, NBC rejected this PETA ad from the Super Bowl because it was too sexy.


PETA reported getting this reply to the ad from the NBC:


The PETA spot submitted to Advertising Standards depicts a level of sexuality exceeding
our standards. Listed below are the edits that need to be made. Before finalizing the
spot, we would like to view a Quicktime file as well as a DVD with high resolution.

:19- pumpkin from behind between legs
:21- rubbing pelvic region with pumpkin
:22- screwing herself with broccoli (fuzzy)
:23- asparagus on her lap appearing as if it is ready to be inserted into vagina
:26- licking eggplant

I think it is too sexy for family-time tv but the NBC banning it probably gave it more publicity than if it'd been shown so it's win-win for PETA.

Singer Katy Perry wants to be a vegetarian

Singer Katy Perry has apparently wanted to join the ranks of Shania Twain and Pink by becoming a vegetarian.

According to website ecorazzi.com she said: "I want to try to be a vegetarian because I know it would be more of a healthier option for me.

"But I love chicken. I think I am just gonna try and be a healthier person and ya know think about my family more."

While I'm posting - check out this article on The Hindu, which discusses animal activist group People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).

It says they wrote a letter to the chief of Citigroup calling for a vegetarian menu in its executive dining room.

Interesting but I doubt it'll happen.
