In a transparent attempt to latch on to pregame hype about Super Bowl ads, PETA submitted an ad to NBC, which promptly rejected it, saying, "the PETA spot submitted to Advertising Standards depicts a level of sexuality exceeding our standards." The ad portrays one actor "screwing herself with broccoli" and another with "asparagus on her lap appearing as if it is ready to be inserted into [her] vagina." Adrant's Steve Hall writes of the affair: "Like PETA was ever going to actually pay $3 million to run a commercial during the Super Bowl. The whole strategy, of course, is to contend NBC allows ads for unhealthy junk food from the likes of KFC but won't allow ads encouraging, in PETA's opinion, a healthier lifestyle. Well, PETA, how about an ad that just said that instead of an ad which depicts women having sex with vegetable?" Not that Steve historically has had a problem with women having sex with vegetables. source>>>
