I'm a vegan, and I am annoyed by this. They are only trying to appeal to football neanderthals, though--so I understand why they use hot women and sex vs. the 100's of logical reasons why someone should become a vegan.
"the 100's of logical reasons why someone should become a vegan."
See, this is the problem I have with some vegans. The use of the word "should". It implies that you're somehow wrong or inferior if you don't. Very condescending.
This is NOT for "football Neanderthals" number 6. Cheerleaders, guests from TV shows in the booth at halftime and ads during the superbowl are for the people who could care less about football. This is to draw fridge fans in. You know people like you don't like football yet watch the superbowl for the ads. Thats a reason I never go to a superbowl party. Assholes make you keep it shut for the ads. I agree 100% with you when you say they could use logical reasons but than people like you would not watch thus fewer viewers and next year, less revenue. Thats ALL its about. PERIOD. If they ran this ad, parents would be out for blood and that is counter productive. Janet Jackson and Prince made these ads impossable to run, but if those things didnt happen this ad would run for sure. I think the ad is in very bad taste and PITA will never get it.
This reminds me of a scene in a movie titled Suddenly Naked. At a dinner table, the main character's ex-boyfriend's new gal says she's a vegetarian. "I don't eat anything with a face," she says. The main character replies: "Pity."
I say PETA may as well stop being coy and produce full-on porn. A slickly produced double-penetration or blowjob scene would get a lot of attention, and attention is all PETA cares about.
So fuckin idiotic. Peta should go fuck vegetables on their own little vegan ass island and create an inbred veggie kingdom so the bullshit can stop plaguing us. Take all the fucking veggie chicks- as you guys know, there's nothing hotter than a fine chick who can only eat a half cup of veggies a day. I love it when my girl runs out of breath halfway through a blowjob and passes out famished. No. Really. And fuck you number six- people SHOULD become vegan? FUCK YOU. Take this lambshank and stick it way the fuck up your girlfriends veggie brocolli cunt. She needs the meat.
Well at least they've got the right approach the only way I would even consider the alternative vegetarian lifestyle is if every meal was served with a side order of tits and pussy.
WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO FREEDOME OF SPEECH IS ALIVE AND KICKING YEAAAAAHHH , OH WAIT IS NOT but bet the commercial was about killing animals and tearing them apart with bullets and chainsaws that would be aired with no problem at all but some boobs bouncing oh nooooooooo thats not right eeeeeewwwww
WTF is wrong with this place grow up damn it put your fucking gun loving ways away and enjoy boobs they are better then violence BOOBS RULE
I dunno what retarded monkey PETA hired to think up that shit. PETA can go suck on a donkey ball and shove their holier than thou selves up eachothers asses. **eats her steak**
Maybe there *are* '100s of logical reasons' for veganism. But there are a couple of compelling reasons not to go vegan, and they outweigh the pro-vegan arguments. The best reason is that our bodies need vitamin B12, which comes almost exclusively from animal products.
If you're a vegan for health reasons, #6, you're being a fool.
Anyone who thinks this isn't exactly what PETA wanted is an idiot. Their response is designed to do one thing, and one thing only: keep this in the news. They're elated that NBC isn't going to run this.
They never believed this would make it to the air. They knew it would be rejected and knew people would be talking about it for the week leading up to the Super Bowl.....when there are no other ads for them to compete with.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go eat some veal. It's a little salty for my tastes, but I think that's just the tears.
Actually vegetarians DO NOT make better lovers. In the animal kingdom, the best 'lover' is the lion. The lion will mate every 15 minutes for 2 to 3 days when it's mate is in heat. All this sexual energy comes from the adrenal glands, of which the lion has the largest in the world.
What feeds the adrenals? Red meat. Lions eat 75 pounds of meat in one meal. There is no room for the salad.
If you're a vegan for health reasons, #6, you're being a fool.
LOL, actually, I am a CCN. Gotta love how 99% of people who bring up the B12 argument don't even have a clue what B12 is. ALL B12 is synthesized by bacteria. The only reason it is in meat products is due to bacteria, or due to it being stored from previous consumption. In other words, there is no difference between taking a B12 supplement synthesized in a lab and getting it from an animal source, except that along with storing B12, the animals you eat also store plenty of toxins.
"See, this is the problem I have with some vegans. The use of the word "should". It implies that you're somehow wrong or inferior if you don't. Very condescending."
That part of my comment was not condescending at all. That's just your subconscious telling you that you're a tool...
They ought to run salacious montage footage (Corky from LIFE GOES ON in a thong, bending over suggestively; Jett Travolta on satin bedsheets, touching himself; etc, etc)....then cut away to a title card reading VEGETABLES MAKE BETTER LOVERS.
I understand the argument that sexuality is normal. I just don't need it during my football game. I like football and I like sex but I don't do both at the same time or I would go to a fucking strip bar to watch the game. Why? Cause I would miss the fucking game! I think the real point # 6 is making we all agree with. PITA should educate not stimulate with so many kids watching a football game.
Corky from Life Goes On in a thong!!!! I fucking love this website and all the freaks that post these comments. IDLYITW is my guilty pleasure. (now if we can just get Todd to put a hold on the Shaunna Sand pics.....)
Anecdotally, of course, all of the vegetarians I know are fat and doughy. Kelly Clarkson types all around, male or female. So, they MAY have better sex, but I absolutely don't want any of it.
@#26- Shush. Lindsay thinks she is indeed just eating "vegan". Sam is a bit smarter than her after all you see.
It is amazing how Page 3 continues to come up with desirable Englishwomen given the rampant obesity, poor hygiene, and funky teeth that has come to characterize dear Albion over the past 10 years.
@23: "While lacto-ovo vegetarians usually get enough B-12 through consuming dairy products, vitamin B-12 may be found to be lacking in those practicing vegan diets who do not use multivitamin supplements or eat B-12 fortified foods." - Wikipedia article. Same info can be found in numerous places, though. Vegan diets are deficient in B12. Period. End of discussion.
Gosh, #35, "end of discussion"? You don't even allow the observation that, if Vitamin B-12 deficiency is the ONLY negative rap on a vegan diet and it can be addressed with supplements, that there is no criticism left of what is surely a more healthy dietary lifestyle?
@#34- Men are "sensitive" and "caring", really. Plus when we see girls wildly chewing the shit out of a hamburger it tend to kind of give pause. You know ?
#6: I an a Registered Dietitian and they're right. B12 is a vitamin only found in animal sources and those eating a completely vegan diet need to take it in supplement form in order not to get a deficiency. You are right that it is the same if it is synthetic or not. If you completely stop eating animal products it will take your body about 5 years to develop a B12 deficiency without supplementation.
Iron is another mineral that can be lacking in a vegan diet. Whole grains and leafy greans are sources of plant iron (called non-heme iron), and you should eat it with something that contains vitamin C to enhance its absorption. Again, Iron is something that you can take as a supplement because it would be hard to meet the 18 mg/ day recommendation without eating meat.
End nerd session. Those are the main drawbacks of a vegan diet. I wouldn't say that it is healthier, because most foods can be worked into a healthy diet. If you're still reading this thank you.
Hitler and Benito Mussolino were also vegetarians. That is a ringing endorsement for you. I have seen surveys that not eating meat deprives the brain of certain enzymes that it needs to function correctly. Maybe that is why most Vegans are such Fascist when it comes to their lifestyle.
All! all of those hot sexy beautiful babes eat meat in some way some form that is a fact it is the only way a woman get get a hot sexy HEALTHY body like that. Peta=Cult
40, I didn't even feel like getting into WHY it's the bacteria-produced B12 meat--which, in case anyone is interested, is because when the dead animals are slaughtered, their intestinal bacteria contaminates everything. Yes folks, that's how carnivorous animals get their B12 in the wild, and that's how you get it, too. YUM!
"it would be hard to meet the 18 mg/ day recommendation without eating meat."
LOL, you're paid to be a RD? You have got to be kidding me. Getting 2-3 times the daily allowance (to make up for absorption) should not be a problem for any vegan. Beans (tofu is included in this category), grains, various vegetables, nuts, etc. are all sources of iron, and vegans should be eating these foods anyway. Not to mention that many every day foods (breakfast cereal comes to mind) are fortified with it.
"Hitler and Benito Mussolino were also vegetarians."
I don't know about "Mussolino," but Hitler only became a vegetarian for about a couple weeks after being advised to do so by his doctor for a stomach issue. Examples of REAL vegetarians/vegans are more like Albert Einstein and Ghandi.
The truth is this diet will NEVER be promoted in this country because it is run by corporate scum, who A) do not want you to start caring about the way you eat so you will continue to buy their processed crap and B) WANT YOU TO BE SICK so you will buy their pills. Period. If you're too stupid to realize this, maybe you deserve the fate of disease and malnourishment.
"A few years back, PETA was claiming that captive snakes could eat moistened dog kibble."
I actually agree with you here. There are some nutjob vegans who try to make pets that are clearly carnivorous into vegans. I always cringe when I see "vegan cat food." There's crazies in all aspects of life, I just hope that people realize that this is not the norm by any means.
If you have ever visited Shambala (it's a sanctuary for large exotic cats like, run by Melanie Griffith's mom) then you could see first hand what "vegan diets" have done to carnivores by their former fucktard vegan owners. What happens to a panther or tiger when you don't feed it meat? Ever heard of something called rickets? Yep, some of these cats that were victims to their vegan-owners ignorance lost function in their hind legs. If you want to be a vegetarian, more power to you. But trying to turn a lion or tiger into one? Ridiculous.
Vegetarians make better lovers because vegetarianism is a childish phase usually exhausted by the age of 25. So yes, people under 25 tend to have hotter sex.
43 I agree with you wholeheartedly on the corporate scum part, but the bottom line is that we. like. meat.
In Japan, we have tofu and natto (fermented soybeans) coming out our fucking ears. Yet what does EVERY convenience store and restaurant sell as its "beer companion" (meaning, 3 am drunk run) food? Hamburgers, sausages, and fried chicken. Oh god, the fried chicken. Why? Because when we break down to our baser instincts, it's what we like!!
"...the fact that vegetarians make better lovers."
This is why, no matter how many legitimate points they may raise, I will never ever take them seriously. If you want to make a logical argument, don't make dumb-ass statements like this and preface them with "FACT". I'm with #28-- I discount any "truth" they may present on the grounds that they are just too fucking stupid.
Fuck you vegan/PETA people. You're so far up your own asses, and it pisses people off. In fact, I'm going to eat an extra steak for dinner just for you guys.
43, regardless of where vitamin B12 comes from (the fermentation in animal intestine or made synthetically in a lab) the point that I am making is that it is a vitamin. You have to have it. Its only found in animal products. If you don't take a supplement you will eventually get a deficiency.
The reason I bring up Iron is that most people who eat meat have a hard time getting enough (average consumption is about 4-5 mg/ 1000 calories eaten). If you cut out your best source of Iron (red meat) then getting enough can be hard, mostly because plant iron is more poorly absorbed. But if you feel like you are getting enough then good for you. I would argue that some vegans are not if they do not know how to combine foods properly.
Its obvious that you are passionate about your veganism but truthfully there are pros and cons to every diet and every food. By being rude and condescending toward everyone else because they eat meat is not a great way to get your point across.
Going vegan is actually dangerous for some people as your greatly reducing your protein intake. Further more, not everyone can properly assimilate the protein from a vegan diet alone and so need to have animal sources in there. On the flip side, there are people genetically suited for eating a vegetarian/grain based diet and couldn't properly break down meat in their GI tract. There is plenty of science and studies to back all of this. Even a diet built around eating based on your genetic make up!
The commercial is pretty cool though. Naturally my American neighbors would go a little ape shit over it considering the massive Christian population. Even in Canada I don't know if it would fly. Maybe on certain channels. Meanwhile in Europe, a commercial like this wouldn't even bat an eye. Gotta love the Europeans!
43, you are so fantastically awesome, I can't even tell you.
Especially this:
"The truth is this diet will NEVER be promoted in this country because it is run by corporate scum, who A) do not want you to start caring about the way you eat so you will continue to buy their processed crap and B) WANT YOU TO BE SICK so you will buy their pills. Period."
I love.
Anyway, I don't see the problem with this commercial, besides that it's a little ridiculous. People are constantly 'violent' on TV and no one says anything. Why are breasts so scary to Americans?

Vegetarians make better lovers because vegetarianism is a childish phase usually exhausted by the age of 25. So yes, people under 25 tend to have hotter sex.

43 I agree with you wholeheartedly on the corporate scum part, but the bottom line is that we. like. meat.
In Japan, we have tofu and natto (fermented soybeans) coming out our fucking ears. Yet what does EVERY convenience store and restaurant sell as its "beer companion" (meaning, 3 am drunk run) food? Hamburgers, sausages, and fried chicken. Oh god, the fried chicken. Why? Because when we break down to our baser instincts, it's what we like!!

"...the fact that vegetarians make better lovers."
This is why, no matter how many legitimate points they may raise, I will never ever take them seriously. If you want to make a logical argument, don't make dumb-ass statements like this and preface them with "FACT". I'm with #28-- I discount any "truth" they may present on the grounds that they are just too fucking stupid.

Fuck you vegan/PETA people. You're so far up your own asses, and it pisses people off. In fact, I'm going to eat an extra steak for dinner just for you guys.

43, regardless of where vitamin B12 comes from (the fermentation in animal intestine or made synthetically in a lab) the point that I am making is that it is a vitamin. You have to have it. Its only found in animal products. If you don't take a supplement you will eventually get a deficiency.
The reason I bring up Iron is that most people who eat meat have a hard time getting enough (average consumption is about 4-5 mg/ 1000 calories eaten). If you cut out your best source of Iron (red meat) then getting enough can be hard, mostly because plant iron is more poorly absorbed. But if you feel like you are getting enough then good for you. I would argue that some vegans are not if they do not know how to combine foods properly.
Its obvious that you are passionate about your veganism but truthfully there are pros and cons to every diet and every food. By being rude and condescending toward everyone else because they eat meat is not a great way to get your point across.

How can they put that delicious hair pie in front of me and then tell me I can't eat it?
It's inhuman, I tell you!!!

Going vegan is actually dangerous for some people as your greatly reducing your protein intake. Further more, not everyone can properly assimilate the protein from a vegan diet alone and so need to have animal sources in there. On the flip side, there are people genetically suited for eating a vegetarian/grain based diet and couldn't properly break down meat in their GI tract. There is plenty of science and studies to back all of this. Even a diet built around eating based on your genetic make up!
The commercial is pretty cool though. Naturally my American neighbors would go a little ape shit over it considering the massive Christian population. Even in Canada I don't know if it would fly. Maybe on certain channels. Meanwhile in Europe, a commercial like this wouldn't even bat an eye. Gotta love the Europeans!

43, you are so fantastically awesome, I can't even tell you.
Especially this:
"The truth is this diet will NEVER be promoted in this country because it is run by corporate scum, who A) do not want you to start caring about the way you eat so you will continue to buy their processed crap and B) WANT YOU TO BE SICK so you will buy their pills. Period."
I love.
Anyway, I don't see the problem with this commercial, besides that it's a little ridiculous. People are constantly 'violent' on TV and no one says anything. Why are breasts so scary to Americans?
