PETA Expands Ad Campaign That Uses Teen Pregnancy to Push Pet Message Friday, July 18, 2008

By Catherine Donaldson-Evans Fox News

Animal rights group PETA is rolling out its controversial "Sex Talk" ad — in which two parents urge their daughter to have a lot of sex and "pop out all the kids you want" — in the top 10 teen pregnancy states to promote spaying and neutering of pets.

The 30-second commercial was launched in January in Britney and Jamie Lynn Spears' hometown of Kentwood, La., after news emerged of then 16-year-old Jamie Lynn's pregnancy. The "Zoey 101" star, who turned 17 in April, has since given birth to a baby girl.

Why spay and neuter your pets when you just eat them? The butcher is cheaper than your vet. A little pepper and fluffy could make some fine chili.

at least -- and I can't say I understand why -- at least they aren't saying to have the "problem taken care of."

I think my thesis is right: the collective mind is turning the corner on abortion.

Well, I’ll say this for the ad: it’s merely silly, instead of patently offensive as are most of their ads. I chuckled a couple of times during the video, and the basic message (spay/neuter your pets) is a pretty mainstream sentiment.

They must have been low on the special Kool-aid when they made it.

I'm no fan of PETA, but I enjoyed this ad, and I think it's effective.

My only comment is that it's not exactly "G" rated.

Where did you find such a good picture of the crazy lady who leads PETA? She’s just as butt ugly and stupid as the messages her organization puts out.

News Busters commented on this thread.

Even the folks at Free Republic didn't think the ad was a big deal.

H&C are talking about it right now.
