Vegetarians Have Better Sex: The Conspiracy

[BlackSwan]

This is insane, but only proves the strong and ignorant anti-vegetarian movement in this country. There is nothing in this commercial that is any worse than all of the alcohol and lingerie commercials that have aired on TV over the years. America is afraid of the truth... there is no such thing as caring about the environment and regularly eating meat.

Before we get to the story and commercial itself... here are some facts...

- Animals raised for food produce 130 times as much excrement as the entire U.S. population.

- More than 70 percent of the grain and cereals that we grow in this country are fed to farmed animals. It takes up to 16 pounds of grain to produce just one pound of meat, and even fish on fish farms must be fed 5 pounds of wild-caught fish to produce one pound of farmed fish flesh.

- The world's cattle alone consume a quantity of food equal to the caloric needs of 8.7 billion people—more than the entire human population on Earth.19 About 20 percent of the world's population, or 1.4 billion people, could be fed with the grain and soybeans fed to U.S. cattle alone.

- Of all the agricultural land in the U.S., nearly 80 percent is used in some way to raise animals—that's roughly half of the total land mass of the U.S.10 More than 260 million acres of U.S. forest have been cleared to create cropland to grow grain to feed farmed animals.

- More than one-third of all fossil fuels produced in the United States are used to raise animals for food.

- It takes 5,000 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of meat, while growing 1 pound of wheat only requires 25 gallons. You save more water by not eating a pound of beef than you do by not showering for an entire year.

Now on to the story...

NBC had so much trouble selling its Super Bowl ad inventory that it's going to run house ads from its parent company, GE, and Hulu, its Web video joint venture with News Corp.

But apparently, NBC is not desperate enough to run the below-embedded ad from PETA. NBC told the animal-rights activist organization "depicts a level of sexuality exceeding our standards."

[rskapcat]

I support your position, sir.

[amyzzz]

preachin to the choir

[karecares]

i concur

[SkipLaCombe]

that's the shit

[Young blood]

Now only if could make them less whiny.....

[SoulDischarge]

I'm pretty sure better sex involves bacon in some capacity.

[Blinken]

Fuck Peta.

They knew it would get rejected, every year they make commercials solely to get rejected for the superbowl. So they can get the exposure without paying for it.

[Young blood]

Last time after I ate bacon I had to contact my physician immediately because my erection lasted longer than 4 hours and it became slightly painful. My physician said it could be sign of being totally awesome and must be treated immediately to prevent permanent damage.

[SoulDischarge]

I posted this is the dream thread, but I once had a dream about getting down with someone from work in the work bathroom and their genitalia was made out of bacon strips. Which only confirms the pure libidinous appeal of porcine meat strips.

Now on to the story...

Just a hunch...but you live in San Francisco?

[wmgaretjax]

Nothing better than "-" bulleted facts without references.

[Mr.Nipples]

good! fuck PETA...

[SoulDischarge]

How can anyone hate this happy little fellow?

[algunz]

I love bacon. I love cheese.

[Natelevmofuggaz]

That's the first logical arguement I've ever heard from vegans.

Thank you.

[bliss209]

Fuck Peta.

They knew it would get rejected, every year they make commercials solely to get rejected for the superbowl. So they can get the exposure without paying for it.

and LOOK!!! IT WORKED!! were talkin about it now aren't we????

So you must think its healthy to eat this, huh?

Whether you are vegan, vegitarian or not, there is NO REASON for ANY animal to ever be treated in this manner or inhumanely EVER!!

now, better sex......eh... i dunno. I'm vegan, and I do ok. (i guess) But I know some HOT meat eaters that are pretty good in the sack too!! Vegans do it gently, and care about the impact it may take on the environment!!

[one2fast]

god those people fro peta want you to believe anything.
i already stopped wearing fur cuz of them.but this is to far i love meat and i dont plan to stop eating for better sex am good as i am.meat has flavor then veggies.when will they be happy?

[frozen pilgrim]

I support vegetarianism.

everyone knows that grain-fed tastes better- so whenever there's a remote plane crash, a cave in, etc, we simply ask who the vegetarians are, immediately identifying three useful facts:

1) who's not going to resort to cannibalism and is already doomed
2) who the idiots are
3) perhaps most importantly, who's the most delicious

[mountmccabe]

everyone knows that grain-fed tastes better

Grass-fed beef > grain-fed beef

[frozen pilgrim]

I can not fucking believe that was your only response.

[cansei de ser sexme]

So no more bacon explosion sausages?

[Astrid]

vegetarians do have better sex.

i swear.

[mountmccabe]

I can not fucking believe that was your only response.

It was funnier that way, I thought.

I could've argued that if you're talking about vegetarians versus carnivores you're not talking grain fed versus grass fed anyway.

I could've noted that I wouldn't be surprised if, in such a situation, what people choose to eat in their own environment was mostly thrown out the window. I would bet that some vegetarians would choose to go cannibal to survive and that plenty of carnivores would balk at eating human; and that honestly I don't think the percentages would be all that different.

I could have said that I have had a lot of good friends that are vegetarians and that they're smart, educated, thoughtful people.

I could have even joked at being a cannibal and said that meat-fed humans generally taste better anyway; that you need the right blend of proteins for that good, human taste. Though I probably would've hidden it, like so.

But, ehh, I went for pithy. And true, dammit.

[BlackSwan]

Fuck Peta.

Finally a logical argument on this board.

Just a hunch...but you live in San Francisco?

Just a hunch... you're not guessing.

Nothing better than "-" bulleted facts without references.

Don't be so lazy. You're not smart enough to figure out the original sources of the bullets and check the references.

I love bacon. I love cheese.

I love cheese too. In fact, this is my favorite...

Brillat-Savarin: a snow white, soft bodied, triple crème cheese with a natural white mold rind. Anyway...

The deliciousness of meat is at least 50% in the spicing, which can be easily mimiced, and there are certain ways to match the consistency of most meats. You just have to be open to it. A large part (if not all) of humans supposed need for meat is conditioning.

That's the first logical arguement I've ever heard from vegans.

Thank you.

I'm not a vegan. Too strong a conviction is no fun and a luxury. I eat cheese. I don't really care if there are anchoivies in my caesar dressing. Soup made with chicken both? Don't mention it and I won't know.

What there is a problem with is the lack of knowledge the general population has about the effect eating meat has on the world. If everyone was a little more open and educated, and ate meat 50% less than they do... it would make a major difference.

[PotVsKtl]

Shut the fuck up.

[BlackSwan]

Make me.

[cloud9]

do not rely like d the comerucoial b u t like v egens n vegertarien

[whynotsmile99]

fuck Peta

i'm not a vegetarian and have no desire to try the lifestyle. Giving me reasons why I shouldn't eat meat is like the church shunning kids for being gay. Only going to make me want that sweet sweet sinful meat even more



if your having trouble eating meat, just think of it as "consuming the animal's soul"

I enjoy traveling and eating unique new animals. I've had kangaroo, cobra, frogs, tarantulas, cockroaches. i look forward to camel when I visit the middle east

this reminds me of a story from my trip to Vietnam. The guys we were eating our cobra meal with (which was phenominal, best meal i've ever had) told us about this little place in Ho Chi Minh city where you can eat monkey brains. Apparently you sit at a table with a hole in the middle. a live monkey is brought in and placed up through the table. the waiters come over, bash the monkey to death with clubs, cut the skull off and salt the brains. they stick a spoon in and you eat it just like that, indiana jones style.

As interested as I was to try monkey brains, the bashing was too much. I would not want to see that

[TomAz]

If we're supposed to be vegetarians why did god make animals out of meat?

mmm. meat. mmm.
