Veggie love: PETA ad banned by Super Bowl
‘Veggie Love’: PETA’s Banned Super Bowl Ad.
OK, sports fans, here’s the PETA ad deemed too hot for the Super Bowl.
According to a PETA blog, NBC found the pro-vegetarianism ad depicted “a level of sexuality exceeding our standards.”
The ad features a bevy of beauties showing their love for vegetables.
Specifically, NBC objected to the following depictions” “licking pumpkin … touching her breast with her hand while eating broccoli … pumpkin from behind between legs … rubbing pelvic region with pumpkin
… licking eggplant … rubbing asparagus on breast.”
NBC also complained about scenes in which it appeared that models were about to get more intimate with broccoli and asparagus.

OK, tsg, so now I’m laughing so hard I’m crying into my coffee. I was going to suggest the formation of PETV, People for the Ethical Treatment of Vegetables. What self-respecting asparagus would want to be part of such a lewd public spectacle?

If this video succeeds in it’s message…”Look out E-Harmony” – The produce aisle is stepping in!

this just proves the thought that it’s ok to love your veggies; but it’s not ok to LOVE you veggies.
