Apparently, NBC has something against girls who love their veggies. After we submitted our proposed Super Bowl ad, which features a comely crop of models demonstrating their fondness for fresh produce, NBC nixed the ad, saying it "depicts a level of sexuality exceeding our standards." No joke, this is straight from NBC—so stop fondling your fruit salad right now and read the list of shots NBC requested we cut before they’d reconsider:
Wow, that list even made us blush! You can read the full NSFW letter from NBC here and then watch the video to see what the controversy is all about. Not as pure as eating apple pie, but it sure does drive home the fact that vegetarians make better lovers. And I'm pretty sure that most Super Bowl fans would find the ad a lot more appealing than the impotence and other not-so-sexy effects that a steady stream of chicken wings and burgers can have on their love lives.
Why so grouchy NBC? Sounds like someone’s not getting enough um…vegetables. I’m thinking network execs could really benefit from a broccoli booty call.
That said, what do you think about our sexy Super Bowl ad? Do you agree with NBC's decision to reject it?

What about the ethical treatment of young women - hiding their embarrassment, hoping to be taken seriously, longing for a good job in the modelling/entertainment industry but manipulated to look foolishly sexy to 'prove' themselves. The ads that show the suffering of the animals is more likely to procure vegetarians.
So, yeah P.E.T.A should I remind you what your name means?
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Since when does that have to deal with anything about sex. Have you guys lost your way. Do you not understand that just by telling people you will have better sex will stop the cruelty towards animals?
Stop conforming to what the rest of the world is doing and defend what you guys Fight for.
