I think for millions of kids who are going to be watching this with their families this could be a little inappropriate:rolleyes:
vegetarian pussy/dick tastes better.
God I want to support them so much
don't they want to rename fish to sea kittens?HOW WOULD YOU FEEL EATING A FISH IF IT WAS CALLED A SEA KITTEN :fogetangry:
FACTORY FARMS <-> THE HOLOCAUST
THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE
You guys get really upset about some really inconsequential stuff. It's just Peta.But that's THE BEST BIT.
Advert's pretty sexist mind.

they should have veggie flavoured condomshttp://www.vegancondoms.com/ lol
It will come as a disappointment to all you party people, but the surest way to nicer tasting splooge is clean living. Cut back on your vices - alcohol, cigarettes, drugs (except maybe for Viagra), and junk food. Word is that vegetarians, both men and women, taste better, so you may want to steer clear of red meat, fish, and dairy. Indulge in lots of fresh fruits and veggies, and drink lots of juice and water.lol
for all it's bullshit libertarianism, the Penn and teller Bullshit! episode on Peta was prettymuch spot on.

i posted the vegetarian come thing dont jump on dok for it. altho jump on him for CARROT CONDOMS or whatever else, but the vegetarian thing is a pretty popular idea.i forget in what context you posted that, but if in non-ironic context, why would you bother posting it after reading
While there's no scientific evidence to back these tips up, there are anecdotal reports and common sense.
Heh thats a silly ad.
Its sort of odd though, I mean its a superbowl ad, which they spent a lot of money on obviously, and it has very memorable imagery, but the message at the end makes the whole thing just silly and forgettable. How much does it cost to show an ad at the superbowl, its like millions right?
In 2009, 30 seconds of advertising time cost U.S. $3 million due to the extremely large audience, typically more than 90 million viewers.
PETA blogger Amy Elizabeth writes:lol
OK, I'll admit, it's not the Jonas Brothers 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.
I won't defend PETA, I support them for the good things they do
why are "pussy juice" "eat out" and "spunk" links in that article?if you hover over those links, you'll notice that "eat out" leads to a site called "cunnilingus tutor," and spunk leads to a website called "let's masturbate."
i didn't want to click them...
what good thingsThey've gotten a lot of people to think about animals in a different way :)
what good things have they ever done ever, i cannot think of one thing
I don't hate vegans/vegetarians because of PETA, I just hate the fuck out of PETA
They've gotten a lot of people to think about animals in a different way :)
What can I, as a 20 y/o american citizen do to help PETA's efforts? Would they have any offices I could visit to learn more about them? Where can I sign up to join? I would like you learn more about this intriguing organization.first step to join PETA is you must be able to kill animals while at the same time protesting against kennels who put them down
If Ronald McDonald House turned out to be profiteering would you refuse to help kids with needs?
I don't understand how "heh I'm going to eat extra meat and kill as many animals as possible" is a better attitude to have than to do a poor job promoting vegan-ism, which really DOES help animals, health, enviroment, etc.
the Cooking Mama game, instead of focusing on bad factory conditions or the health benefits of vegetarianism, has you crack open eggs full of dead chickens into a bowl. hmmm except no one has done this. whoops.
I also really liked the comic PETA put out about how intelligent cows are and how they can recognize different people
Lars you missed the whole add man, they're basically telling you to become a vegetarian. Vegetarians have better sex...yeah i know its not serious and just GO VEG
That Cooking Mama parody was fucking ridiculous. BLOODY DEAD CHICKS FALLING OUT OF THE EGGS are you kidding me, the game didn't even work properly. They also slapped Majesco's name right on it, they were lucky that Majesco handled it the way they did...but PETA apparently has enough money for superbowl ads so they would have fought it in court anyway. I just like that Majesco responded in a pretty classy way and then PETA responded back with what was essentially "fuck you right now, but if you release a vegan Cooking Mama then we'll support you all of a sudden".http://www.farmsanctuarykidzclub.com/Visit/AboutCows.html
I also really liked the comic PETA put out about how intelligent cows are and how they can recognize different people, because this is bullshit and our cows can't tell me from my dad from my mom from my grandma from my dogs from cars.
Considering PETA's usual style, I'm surprised they didn't instead put out an ad accusing meat eaters of being rapists.

They're not super dumb!
Dairy cow herds can also be intensely sexual. Webster describes how the cows become excited when one of the herd comes into heat and start trying to mount her. “Cows look calm, but really they are gay nymphomaniacs,” he said.
What we need is to acknowledge that despite struggling to feed as many people as we are, we can't just ignore ethics.
By the way, vegetarians are definitively more healthy than non-vegetarians. It's not very difficult to see why. Vegetarianism is a conscious choice regarding health and nutrition; that means when you compare the two, you're comparing a group of highly health-conscious people to a group of partially (or barely, judging by the health of the average Western person today) health-conscious people. It's not even a fair comparison.
I'm against zoo's but I'm not against owning pets what the fuck.
my vocalist in my band was engaged to one of the TOP LEVEL PETA people. i can't remember her exact position, but it was like VICE PRESIDENT or some shit.
is she the one who uses insulin but then fights against using animals for medical research?
In 2003, PETA President Ingrid Newkirk sent Yasser Arafat a letter following an incident in which a donkey, laden with explosives, was intentionally blown up, begging him to "leave the animals out of this conflict." A similar letter was sent to Sri Lankan terrorist group Tamil Tigers following a bombing that hit a zoo. Newkirk told the Washington Post in response to questions on why she did not also ask the groups to stop killing humans, "It's not my business to inject myself into human wars."
Newkirk is best known for the issue awareness campaigns she organizes on behalf of PETA, in order to promote animal rights and veganism. In her will, for example, she has directed that her skin be turned into wallets, her feet into umbrella stands, and her flesh into "Newkirk Nuggets," then grilled on a barbecue
This right here is the problem with PETA btw, they send a letter to YASSER ARAFAT to complain about a donkey but they don't give a shit about the people because "they're causing the wars" (as if every person who dies in a war is a combatant or has anything to do with the war). They put animals before people, as if they themselves AREN'T people. Fuck that shit.
I've agreed with everything else you've said but this. There are millions of people trying to stop the wars and literally almost no one has said anything about animal casualties. Honestly I doubt there can be that many, but when zoos and the like are blown up, its obviously predominantly animals taking the hit.
Exactly, but there's no reason for PETA to care about human lives because it's an animal rights group.
Exactly, but there's no reason for PETA to care about human lives because it's an animal rights group. I can't see why you'd be surprised they did exactly what they say they're doing. They have no reason to speak with Arafat at all unless to speak with him about that donkey.Humans are animals too!
Humans are animals too!
I mean, PETA is the biggest animal rights group in the world, they didn't get that way killing puppies, so it's pretty clear that they have made quite a positive impact.
also PETA pretty much funds the ALF.
I'm saying they should, its a human thing, but they also shouldn't because it doesn't make sense to have empathy for something you are eating with a side of gravy. Its a sort of ambiguous relation that probably/maybe only humans have towards their food, and it is maybe the presence of something like this that makes the difference between a potential psycho killer and a normal everyday guy. In other words its not a feeling that really makes sense, but taking it away is probably unhealthy.
I don't really have much empathy for animals and don't personally really, really care if the chicken I'm eating was raped and tortured and had his hen and chicks shot down before him and lost his home and valuables, and then the butcher burns his eye out with a cigarette and says "say uncle.... say uncle" the chicken tries but he can only say "cluck" and the butcher knows this, its part of the torture you see so he chops one wing off and says SAY UNCLE DAMMIT NOT CLUCK and the chicken just cries and then the butcher chops its head off and then wraps it up and sends it on my table.Regardless of what you believe, animals do express emotions. You can tell when they are in pain, upset, angry, and so on. For some reason a very large portion of the human race seems to think animals do not think or have feelings. No, the animals haven't told us that they do, but it's reasonable to assume that they do. There hasn't been any real evidence that they don't. The reason humans should have empathy toward animals is that they are living, breathing creatures that evolved from the same stuff we did.
Its just a gaddam chicken. *crunch crunch mmh cruelty it tastes so good it makes the meat taste better I can actually taste cruelty its a little lemony*
Really I dunno what the deal is, trying to prove a charitable organization is corrupt.
Velfarre do you have any links or sources where I can read about those van killings??
Like it or not peta has done a lot of good things
What kind of argument are you trying to make with the first one?Did you read the post or did you just watch the cool videos?
jesus velfarre calm the fuck down.
ARGH ANIMAL ADVOCACY GROUP
ADVOCATES ANIMAL RIGHTS IN ALL SITUATIONS!!!
I'm tempted to support PETA because of how nuts you're being honestly. PETA ONCE KILLED SOME DOGS! EVERYTHING THEY DO = IRRELEVANT.
yeah they dont care about human beings at all that's why a good amount of their literature and advertising deals with the health benefits of a vegetarian and vegan lifestyle. they are tricking people into dying so animals can live. are you really this fucking stupid.
seriously where do you get this idea PETA wants people to die? because they don't like animal testing? oh no! a political stance that makes a lot of fucking sense!
“I am not a morose person, but I would rather not be here. I don’t have any reverence for life, only for the entities themselves. I would rather see a blank space where I am. This will sound like fruitcake stuff again but at least I wouldn’t be harming anything.”
hahahaha I like how you deliberately ignore the part where she specifies she cares more about the people than the act of life itself.
Humans have grown like a cancer. We're the biggest blight on the face of the earth.
While the final decision as to the use of my body remains with PETA, I make the following suggested directions:
a) That the 'meat' of my body, or a portion thereof, be used for a human barbecue, to remind the world that the meat of a corpse is all flesh, regardless of whether it comes from a human being or another animal and that flesh foods are not needed.
b) That my skin, or a portion thereof, be removed and made into leather products, such as purses, to remind the world that human skin and the skin of other animals is the same and that neither is 'fabric' or needed.
c) That my feet be removed and umbrella stands or other ornamentation be made from them, as a reminder of the depravity of killing innocent animals, such as elephants, in order that we might use their body parts for household items and decorations.
d) That my eyes be removed, mounted and delivered to the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency as a reminder that Peta will continue to be watching the agency until it stops poisoning and torturing animals in useless and cruel experiments.
e) That my pointing finger be delivered to Kenneth Feld, the owner of Ringling Brothers or to a circus museum, to stand as the 'Greatest Accusation on Earth' on behalf of the countless animals who have been deprived of all that is natural and pleasant to them, abused and forced into involuntary servitude for the sake of cheap entertainment.
When we were in Savannah, she told me, in the most unequivocal terms, that the world would be an infinitely better place without humans in it at all.
putting people first is the reason we have every single environmental disaster ever.Man this is not true.
Man this is not true.
oh but wait we aren't talking about sensible people because:
i'm mad at them for being fucking loonies that only HURT the organizations that actually HELP animals, they wanted to spend billions of dollars on a superbowl ad when they could, i don't know, help animal shelters???
When we were in Savannah, she told me, in the most unequivocal terms, that the world would be an infinitely better place without humans in it at all.
seriously though a thousand palestinians get killed in a week velfarre says nothing
i posted how many times in that topic, forget it you are just wanting to argue with me
When we were in the Happy Zoo, she told me, in the most unequivocal terms, that the world would be an infinitely better place without the mentally invalid in it at all.
ceos are people putting themselves first. basically acting without a global conscience in general is bad and raging against PETA for wanting to expand that is pretty annoying and old.I wouldn't equate capitalist accumulation to putting people first and I don't think appealing to vague universal ideals like 'global conscience' really means anything.
I've not been too keen on PETA because for a whole week those assholes ruined my smokebreaks by insulting me and being annoying pricks when I worked for PETCO in college.
I was compared to a nazi for working in a pet store.
I wouldn't equate capitalist accumulation to putting people first and I don't think appealing to vague universal ideals like 'global conscience' really means anything.
PETA has pretty self-defeating ideals that literally lead nowhere. If they'd drop their absurd absolutism and give newkirk the boot maybe they could direct their movement toward things like sustainable animal husbantry alternatives but they come at the problem with the line that "humans using animals is bad cuz we say so" they put themselves outside of the realm of working in the interests of society(which happens to consist of omnivores) in a simmilar manner that groups involved with the ELF do.
I encountered atleast one PETA, while I was eating a piece of "Vegan Meat" (it was a veggie burger I made with some of the Vegan Meat I got from one of my friends). I couldn't help but laugh at him in public for mistaking my piece of fake meat for real meat, and I promptly ignored him while he was screaming in my face and eating while he was screaming (which by the way, he looked like he was about to shit himself). Knocked over my drink, bastard. This all happened in a park, walking my dogs.
ceos are people putting themselves first.
also yeah PETA HATRED..... is almost really on the same level as the whole stupid ANONYMOUS VS SCIENTOLOGY thing. no one cares about peta, it's a pretty irrelevant group isn't it?
http://veganyumyum.com/woah. this is amazing! i did not know you could make such delicious-looking things with vegan ingredients! i am a pretty big meat eater but most of those recipes look delicious enough for me to try to make!
i worked in an indian restaurant for half a year and ate indian food for dinner almost every night i am so sick of indian food
HOOTHOOTDOOTDOOT I DONT LIKE ICE IN MY WATER AND I LOVE CURRY HOOTHOOTHOOT
woah. this is amazing! i did not know you could make such delicious-looking things with vegan ingredients! i am a pretty big meat eater but most of those recipes look delicious enough for me to try to make!
vegan food can own but it's a lot of effort and you have to have an open mind to foods. like if you won't eat indian ahahahaha you're gonna be so bored.
indian food is by far the best ethnic food in existence.
if you're really interested I'll dig up more links, but I can't remember where I posted them before.
How does one do this vegan thing? Everywhere I look is meat, meat bi-product, or something similar. :/ Even this hot and sour soup has shrimp in it...
okay i looked up a few links and found these. only posting the ones with pictures or that were triple recommended though.
http://www.101cookbooks.com/ 101 cookbooks is a good start for anyone. it's mostly vegetarian but you can sort on the side. look at dat porcini mushroom soup.
http://www.theppk.com/ veganomicon is the most famous vegan cookbook for good reason. a lot of the older recipes are sans picture though.
http://goonswithspoons.com/Category:Mr._Wiggles's_Recipes yo if you have an SA account and have been to GWS, you know this guy. Mr. Wiggles is the dude who got me respecting vegetarian cooking. just filtering the dinner thread to his posts is always good.
LET ME HELP *does entire thing*ahaha
are you a vegetarian? don't you miss a nice....juicy......piece a meat
I used to cook but no joke cancer stopped that too. I couldn't hold a saucepan for days. now I live at home and if you have ever cooked in an indian woman's kitchen you know it is awful because LET ME HELP *does entire thing* is the state of affairs.
chefs used to have this shtick they probably picked up from anthony bourdain when he was like UGH THEY DONT EAT FOOD but thats because they're chefs. imagine you are a gun store and someone is like "do you have any tasers, I hate guns". there's too much stuff made with stocks and fat that a lot of chefs don't like making things deliberately vegetarian NO CHICKEN STOCK BUT I WANT A SOUP *takes a leak in your food*
however any chef who dismisses vegetarian cooking is a dummy. ignoring religious and personal convictions, vegetarian cooking is also incredibly healthy for you and the overreliance on eating meat in everything is why fastfood does so well.
so in short anyone who does this is being a purposefully contrarian dick who doesn't realize how good vegetables are and probably forgot indian food is all vegetarian and still owns.
vegan is annoying as hell to cook though to be honest I would understand a chef getting irked. like you can do it but you need to be way prepped beforehand and it's more expensive, or you'll be making mac and cheese sans cheese. same with gluten/dairy allergies but at least then it ain't a personal choice but an allergy.
Well I am a vegetarian unless I am at a sandwich shop that doesn't have good vegetarian options (Subway), and it is actually pretty easy. I still eat eggs and milk and stuff on a daily basis though so I don't know what to tell you.
You just have to learn how to cook!
Some extra reading for more PETA silliness.Except that site is run by the Center for Consumer Freedom
http://www.petakillsanimals.com/
better dead than fed, peta says:I'm not denying that PeTA is horrible and I stated that I hate them earlier just pointing out that the Center for Consumer Freedom is pretty bad too.

oh sorry this one is run by ~some newspaper~
did she say it just like that? YOURHERO, CLEAN UP THAT SPILL. i'm glad old spanish ladies don't call me by internet handles
That's a really sexist ad. Kind of ironic..."respect animals but don't respect women."
