CAMDEN — City and child advocacy officials are calling foul on animal rights group PETA, after it announced Friday it plans to purchase a billboard in Camden that would portray a baby with a collar and chained by the neck.

(sigh) One of these days...

Just trying to shock.

The message they’re pushing this time isn’t so bad but the desperate need for attention is pretty tiresome.

How did they get a North Korean kid for the Picture?

[Vendome]

At least I know he won’t running off...

[DaveyB]

Can you say non-sequitur!

[MeshugeMikey]

They ought to fire their art director.

That “baby” looks more like a cheap doll than a child.

Bad Campaign Idea Very poor executed....

PETA -0 Real Humans 12

“Families Belong Indoors”....er....m......ah...

So why have they illustrated a child ....locked up... outside.

Advertising Concepts are supposed to be DIRECT..and unmistakable

This campaign is sophomoric dull and self contradictory.

The alleged humans of peta are sick.

One of the hundreds of filthy,nauseating things about PETA members is that you just *know* that 99% of them are pro abortion....in favor of abortion of human children that is.

I miss the chicks wearing cabbage. When are we going to get some Femen type protestors?

[Calvin Locke]

I'm of two minds. From a marketing POV, Camden's probably not the place for this message.

OTOH, if even one of the many drug dealers in Camden keeps his pit bull or presa canario in doors...

Lectric fence kept me in the yard just fine when I was a toddler.

I did learn to fight off owls and hawks at an early age though.

[svcw]

They celebrate abortion and morn a chicken - sick sick sick

[Vendome]

It’s idiotic and in no way promotes their moronic concept.

Should show kids hugging the dog as they lay sleeping in bed.

There are outside dawgs and inside dogs.

They will this ad a success for raising awareness.

That’s the problem with PETA, equating animals with humans. I wonder if it even occurs to them how ridiculous it is for them to chide dog owners( damn right PETA I said owners) for having their pets outside, I don’t approve of chaining, while they are responsible for killing tens of thousands of pets. Now that’s irony for ya.

[ansel12]

They seem to be a fund raising performance art group, they do a ridiculous but outrageous ad, sit back and let the waves of national media coverage roll over them, and then enjoy the hipster, ‘annoy the straights’ notoriety and wonderful donations.

It must be a pretty good gig for those of that makeup.

[MeshugeMikey]

your concept is at least 100 Times more sensible direct workable and prospectively EFFECTIVE than the failure they've already released.

attack advertising isnt particularly effective in the commercial world why they'd expect it to fair better as propaganda is beyond me

less than 30 seconds it took to find this photo....

Give your Pet its due! [?}

[MeshugeMikey]

I simply skipped over the locale tie-in entirely.

Camden NJ? another detroit? that one?
