Double Standard for PETA?

2 min read

Before I groan about this to much I will admit there is some difference, but not much between these commercials. Likewise, the environment has changed ever since the Janet Jackson event. Furthermore the initial ad was aired by FOX and the PETA ad is being banned by NBC. There all of the excuses that might be used are out of the way. Here are the commericals:

Allowed GoDaddy Commerical






Banned PETA Commercial








Some of the weak reasoning used for banning the PETA commerical includes



  • the girl touching her own breast (also in the godaddy one)
  • the viewed from behind with a pumpkin between her shadowed legs (godaddy has the girl do a sensual? dance where we see her behind as well),

  • rubbing asparagus on breast; I’m not sure how that draws your eyes to her breasts any more than the godaddy one.



Basically there are some more but none of the reasons are any more valid are really any different than those stated. So, really, there is no real reason to ban the ad; it’s just stupid. Go ahead and watch men beat the shit out of each other for 4 hours, check out the cheerleaders when they show them, but dammit - don’t look at a woman in underwear with veggies!

Our country is as stupid as can be sometimes.
