Daniel commented on the article |Sounds effin great! A military on Power 2.0. That the grossly corrupt military establishment survive World Oil Production Decline by advancing to sustainable power infrastructure, while the civilian population starves and is decimated by the bloated and newly energized most mass murderous segment of the population, the US military... effin great...

Daniel commented on the article |As with all victimless crimes, prostitution should be decriminalized. Efforts to prevent prostitution should involve meeting physical and emotional needs.
To the guy who thinks paying for sex is becoming less common, perhaps in the US. For certain in a lot of communities. I know some prostitutes though and it's pretty easy for them to find business. -

Far as this ad goes, it's a pretty standard super bowl ad. Far as PETA goes I think they'd do better pushing delicious vegetable recipes than linking hot women to vegetarianism.
To very well sell the hot women vegetarian line, regular hot women would have to seriously in wide swaths prefer vegetarian men. That's not the case by my observation. I've been vegetarian coming up on 3 years now. I had 1 girlfriend in all that time and she broke up with me after a day. There was about 10 years of my life during which I was with more than 30 women and I was daily chewing on carcasses. So what they're trying to sell is wholly bogus.
Another thing is men don't care about good sex. To men, sex is good and good sex is unnecessary. Good sex is something that's important and desireable to women as in so many relationships they're not getting it. If a guy cares about giving his woman good sex, he's more likely to buy viagra from a canadian pharmacy than go vege. Perhaps the ad is aimed at women, and appealing to their sense of self image to inspire their connecting sexyness with vegetarianism. But I'd guess that's not the case as they show all these women with falic vegetables, which is hardly a womans fantasy. Were they trying to bring women to vegetarianism they'd do an ad with sexy vegetarian men during Oprah, not sexy women during the super bowl.
Returning to what they'd best do to promote vegetarianism, in my opinion they'd push nutritional understanding, as vege nutrition is a bit more complex than eating meat. So it takes a bit of study to really know what you need by way of amino acids vitamins minerals and phytochemicals... If they promote senseless vegetarianism they're doing masses a disservice. Which is what really it seems they're doing, they're appealing to very base emotions to draw people to vegetarianism which ultimately, I feel is a disservice. If they really wanted to promote vegetarianism strengthily and soundly, they'd push vege nutrition facts, understanding of the animal abuse inherent in for food consuming animals and the realization that people are meant to be vege eaters, as evidenced by our round jaw, long intestinal tract and every close relative, primates, all being vegetarians except in very rare circumstances which are usually precipitated by territoriality. Which incidentally is a feeling that is best evolved beyond, toward embrace of sharing. Surely human intelligence allows us to share toward best benefit.
Other sales points of vegetarianism are that vege production is sustainable, meat eating, especially herd animals, is not. We've already passed the degree by which we can abuse the planet with herding, which causes desertification, without humanity suffering by wider starvation for the abuse of the land.
Vegetarianism is also greatly conservative of fresh water in comparison with animal agriculture. To produce 1 pound of beef requires as much as 5000 gallons of fresh water. Animal agriculture is also hugely wasteful for the fact that production of 1 pound of beef requires 16 pounds of wheat be wasted as cattle feed. We could have just ate the 16 pounds of wheat.
So, conversion to vegetarianism is a matter of reducing abuse of animals, but more importantly maintaining growable soil and maximizing food production, without which masses will starve and we near a time when even Americans lives will be egregiously harshed for the abuse of the planet this corporate, industrial, pollutive, wasteful animal agriculture factory farmed society is now in ankle deep upside down.
So the sex sells gig, yeah, always has, always will... But it seems to me PETA's ad is not very realisitic and lacks the depth of analysis and understanding of the issues that surround vegetarianism and conversely factory farming.
PETA might have put together an ad with a set like Mad Max beyond thunderdome with the tribe of children living in the desert and put them all in beat up abercrombie and fitch and gap clothes. It's not far from the reality this place is going to suffer if people insist on torturing and eating food as wasteful of water and food and land as cows. They might have done an ad like that and wrapped it with a cow smiling beside it's calf, then the cow worried then agonizing as it's slaughtered by a man who then eats it fresh, to drive home the reality that cows are emotional beings and not deservant of the abuse, then questioning "What do you deserve for doing this every day while ignoring their suffering?" Then "Guess what doing this sets up this." Cut back to desert scene.
I figure my ad would be rejected from the super bowl too. I guess what I'm saying is, though, there's a lot more that needs to be driven into the general conscience regarding animal abuse and the abuse it sets people up to be totally deservant of and the abuse of the environment that is inherent in animal agriculture. PETA's ad seems to flow forth from their own ego and seems as though it would be minimally effective toward promoting vegetarianism which would be far better accomplished by geek talk delivering understanding of the reality of the matter is unless we go vege, we'll be struck from the face of the planet and deserve it and as horribly many people are setting their children up to the same egregious suffering. Which if they knew it was all this, obviously they'd choose better.
