All this is is a new advertising campaign. With sex.
Sure it is, when no one else would dare do it. It may be tacky, heck it's very tacky, but I still respect their audacity. You can still respect a group's right to fight even when it is irrational or tacky. Case in point, the American Tea Party movement. I for one, could personally give a flying horse excrement about what they preach, because what they say is absurd. However, I do respect their right to fight. I'm not saying that they'll get anywhere, however. All this being said, you still ignored my earlier question.

The word "respect" gets thrown around way too much. I don't like it. You can acknowledge the Tea Party and their rights, but you definitely don't have to respect them.
Just because they are advertising in a different way doesn't make it courageous. Bold? Fine. Ham fisted? Yeah. Courageous? No.
I politely ignored your earlier question because its irrelevant and retarded. What I've done, what I do and what I could do doesn't have anything to do with PETA's decision to peddle pornography.

You must have misread my earlier statement, for my question was not irrelevant. It was there to prove my point. It was not related to what PETA is doing. If you had an unyielding belief that you wanted to fight for, let's face it, you wouldn't even consider doing something that crosses into the field of "he/she/they did WHAT?" for fears of whatever backlash might come from the general public. Don't worry though, it's not just you; Most people say they support an issue or stance strongly, yet rarely are they truly willing to stand up for what they believe in. PETA is fearless.

Fearlessness is not courage. Recklessness is not courage. Shamelessness is not courage. There are reasons these feelings exist. Stop being naive.

If they had no alternatives, their volition to press onwards would be commendable. Can't say I disapprove though, where's the harm when they surely aren't going to do crap, if they annoy people too much with their agenda-pushing, they'll just be biting their own tail.

I'm not saying it'll necessarily result in lower meat consumption, but it will get them publicity.

If anything, they are at least succeeding in alienating all the masturbators of the world if they in fact have pop ups of dead chickens with their heads cut off and bulls being castrated.
Then again, some people are just straight up weird and would probably get off on that type of thing...

Ah PETA, what is there to say? Firstly, their demographic is way off. Secondly, toeing the line with partial nudity that reaches the general population is far more effective at getting people talking than secluding their message behind straight up pornography that almost exclusively males are going to head over there to beat off to.
They say this is a well thought out manuever? I call bullshit. They've just got some people at the top that like making news, and seeing naked chicks.

This is... interesting. Interesting, and wrong.
But vegetables and nekkid women still sounds verrrry interesting. Perhaps nearly enough to overrule to nagging feeling telling me that it's wrong.

Anyway, this is a terrible idea. The only people who will go here are the people who want to see freaky pomegranate. It's not as if PETA is providing the only free porn on the internet.

All this vegetables and porn talk reminds me of some /d/ threads.

Considering this forum's cuss filter, I'd say it's equally appropriate here.
