PETA’s lack of presence in the advertising orgy known as The Super Bowl broadcast is just as important as their inclusion. Like a reliable, earth conscience (read: non-leather) timepiece, each year eyebrows are raised by ads they submit to networks for The Super Bowl. In the recent past, PETA has dragged us thru a chicken prison (replete with Satanic Col. Sanders in the role of warden), naked celebs sucking gut and tightly holding poses in protest of fur and even scantily clad nubile women simulating sex with vegetables. These ideas have been rejected by the major networks, but they've always seemed to garner a rich life on the Internet. With this years “banned ad”, which is the "casting sessions" from 2010's "Veggie Love" ad, making the rounds, we’ve started to wonder whether or not they’re even trying to evade capture.

The question isn’t ‘are PETA’s aggressive tactics still relevant in a time of cultural and moral numbness’; the question is ‘why is the objectification of women the easy default when shouting for your cause?’

Chew on that; enjoy the ads this weekend . . ..
