PETA has REALLY joined the bottom feeders on this!

It seems Peta is using pornography now to get some of their messages across.

I think it's overly prudish to refer to the ad as pornograhy. Many ads
use nude or barely clothed people in them. Not saying it's right, just that
it happens regularly.

As to the first ad, it's in very poor taste & will not change hearts or
help abused animals.

My wording may have been a bit strong. I don't see the actual ads as all out hard core pornography, but the one gal is a pornography star and they are having her do the ad. They are also awarding the bed sheets she posed nude on as a prize. Perhaps I am prudish, it just came as a surprise to me, and comes across to me as rather tasteless in getting any message across.

ETA: I should say as to the OP, I feel it's an exploitation of a horrible and sickening tragedy and should not be used in their campaign.

Well for myself I don't like naked type advertising, I think it's highly overdone in the country in general, not just by PETA. It's overused and just boring at this point. I also think it's in poor taste to use a porn star naked as a spokesperson and offer up her sheets for a prize. Yuck, no thanks.


If that makes me a prude, then I'll happily be a prude.

In a way I'm almost relieved that their tactics are so uniformly trashy. It might make it harder to confuse them with real animal-rights workers. But then, I'm a bit of a pollyanna. They're the tabloid shock-jocks of the charity world.

Doesn't surprise me one bit. They have done this with the Holocaust where they compared the treatment of Jewish people in concentration camps to the conditions and treatment of animals in slaughter houses.

It DOES say she "bares skin" for animals' skin, and she clearly isn't wearing any clothing in the ad that we can see, so personally that can be chalked up to at the very least softcore porn, which is still a type of pornography and in my opinion, is still wrong and dirty.

EDIT: Nope, if you view the full ad, you can tell she's completely naked in it. Tsk tsk.

I've never been a fan of PETA or their extremist acts and beliefs. You all know I love and care for animals and their welfare, but that's just extreme.

Porno or not is one thing - the athlete did make a decision.

But that poor dead young man, with his death being used as a political stunt - that is beyond and beneath slime and gutter. Seems to me the publication they went to refused to run it. Good for them!
