PETA utilizes a tired girl-on-girl trendFollowing their banned Super Bowl commercial, animal rights group PETA decided to up the sexy ante by going gay on America with their “Girl-On-Girl Make-Out Tour.” The “Make-Out Tour” basically consists of two bikini-clad girls lying on mattresses at various street corners and periodically lip-pecking each other. (You can watch a video here.)
I’m sorry, but this sounds kind of like a Bud Light ad to me. I understand that PETA is trying to shake things up and get noticed, but I think all of this is just lame and exploitative. Yes, they’ll get noticed, because two girls making out is well, fun for everyone, but as Joaquin Phoenix proved the other night on Letterman, not all publicity is good publicity.
this whole thing just reeks of desperation. The big message behind PETA’s racy campaign is that studies have shown that veggies have better sex. Well, I’d like to see a study that shows how many straight men go veggie after seeing two girls pet each other.
PETA is placating to the stereotypical straight male fantasy that two women can’t wait for a big, burly man to come in and finish the job, or in this case, a big, burly broccoli-loving man. Sorry, PETA, but your latest stunt makes me hungry for a Big Mac. Submitted by on February 13, 2009 - 5:00pm. |

"We're straight!" can be heard at the exact last second of the video
ughh...
wow I never thought it
wow I never thought it possible but PETA has actually managed to reach a new low!

That was insult EVEN TO THE GAYS!!!!
What in the name of pete was that?
Holy crap that was gay ina half. Oh my God and that is comeing from me!!! Tell me what the ( insert word here) were they thinking when they made that?
Another reason for me to hate PETA
Let's use a quote from one of the worst shows on ABC, to quote one of the worst adds ever made, "Seriously?"
"You either want them or you don't! Taking longer to decided is not going to make a difference!"
oh, PEtA. At least this
...
??
...
A lot of Animals actually ARE slaves until they get killed for Humans, thinking it'd be ok to kill what they "breed" (Slave"owners" thought the same way)
and just as some may think you could OWN Animals, Slaves were "owned" by others....
kinda makes me want to
kinda makes me want to reach out a hand and help the poor lil straigh girls and cover them up with my fur coat. They must be cold. I mean it's Febrrrruary!
And they look so thin and under-nourished, someone feed them some beef-stew or clam chowdder...
fur coat
i think they lost what they
i think they lost what they were fighting for.
they're trying so hard to relate, it's pathetic.
...........
If anything that backfires considering how many dudes run home and beat their meat after that.

Nice!!
you rule!
I definitely snorted to that
Oh dear, they're at it again...
Appalled.
I’ve been Vegan for quite some time now, and was vegetarian for years previously… I’ve donated and supported PETA so much. I seriously can’t believe this. It’s repulsive, and I feel personally offended. Atleast it will benefit the animals i guess... but seriously. The media continues to throw homosexuality around and portray our lives as being a complete joke. And now animal rights organizations? Dang.... don't they know how many lesbians are veggies?? There's going to be riots in the street! LOL.
On a lighter note:We do make better lovers ;)
yeh
I would expect this from a car/beer/Tide/whatever commercial, but never from a non-profit org....I understand trying to get new support but the people who generally donate to causes aren't concerned with seeing women, or anyone, make out. There're better ways they could have gotten their point across; this was unncessary.

Amen to the fromage!
>cheese = life
AMEN to that sister!
Cheese (particularly good ole' cheddar! YUM!) really IS the stuff of life!
Oh and eggs.
And Pepsi!
;-)
p.s. is that Amber Benson in your pic? She's a friend of mine. Interviewed her on tv a few years back. Talented lady, super nice. Potty mouth though ;-)
If thats working to help save animals...
...count me in. Though I'm not quite sure how two women kissing really is helping animals, but I'd say its worth a try.

what a circus
it's like a circus on public square. that's your real argument peta?
that's a joke so i can't picture anyone becoming a vegetarian because of this, if that's your point.
that's sad that girl-girl is being used on this epidermic contexts and emptiness..
that's sad that people don't have other ways of capture passers-by attention for important issues (and vice versa)
have a nice V alentine’s day :o)
...
sigh.
I don't like having to choose between whether animal or women's rights is more important.
so i won't.

http://invisibleone-lestweforget.blogspot.coI'm vegan and I hate PETA
PETA is pure misogin and sexism, they use women as objects in their campaings. It doesn't make any sense for me, people then became vegetarians for beauty, sexual health, and this other shits, some months after they forget and restart to eat meat, bullshit.
Women's rights = animals right, and I'll not accept one cause abuse of the other, there is no reason
The animals right moviment was always kept by feminine force, the empathic girls that thinked on the animals pain and suffering for our desnecessary confort. But this reasons are considered idiots at our (patriarchal) society, 'cause, come on, women are considered idiots. Then PETA came trying to change this from the feminine territory and maked the movement acting for a bunch of male chauvinists from the worst species.
How Low Can You Go,PETA!

Their name should SCUM. That's what they have become. You know what.I wouldn't be surprise if more people withdraw their support. Where are the Lesbian Avengers when you need them? Where's Supergirl? Catwoman? Batwoman? Wonderwoman?
I would like to see Queer womyn picket PETA. I need a really good laugh.

I'm at your service ^.^
PETA is despicable
I don't even consider PETA to be an animal welfare group. They're a bunch of extremists who rely on shock value and intimidation to spread their message, which is far more anti-human than pro-animal. Legit, respectable organizations like the ASPCA do more everyday to help animals than these nutcases ever have.
On the way to the bank last week, my friend and I had to literally elbow our way through a bunch of PETA people protesting outside a clothing store, waving around big posters of dead foxes and blocking the entire sidewalk. After having to duck to avoid three people who tried to shove flyers in my face, I finally yelled "God, I hate hippies!" This tactic seemed to work, as they pretty much ignored us on our return trip.

Ugh

it's funny, because I'm
Well you fooled me lol

It's pretty sad when animal
It's pretty sad when animal rights are more important than women's rights. Animal rights are important... but... when did exploiting women become okay? "OH! The beer companies do it and it works for them and no one seems to mind! It should be okay if we do it, too!" WRONG-O.
Fuck, I hate PETA. Ignorant assholes.
YES!!!
*Smacks own head on table*
PETA really are starting to bug me now. They epitomise what people imagine animal rights activists to be. Instead of focussing on factual evidence and real animal welfare they run around flaunting gimmicky claims and parrying to the mainstream male audience.
Do they really think anyone would turn vegetarian because two random (probably straight) girls make out on a mattress? Or do they think that they will whip out their camera, laugh and finish their burger?
I stopped believing in the PETA years ago, because I honestly think that they are motivated more by self-interest and publicity than true animal rights anymore, and they never really seem to care who they hurt in the process.
The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes, but don't be afraid...
exactly
PETA makes all animal rights people look bad!
Awkward
Although I'm not normally someone who would complain about girls making out, I have to say that this stunt is awkward and unsexy.
I completely agree with what many of you have said, I'm all for animal rights but I really, really don't see how this helps. At all.
And although I will freely admit I don't know all the facts, but I'm sorry PETA, I'll start believing in you again when I see some actual evidence of helping animals directly, instead of over-publicised extremists doing dispicable things like they have done in the past.
I HATE THIS. Hate their
I HATE THIS. Hate their tactics.
Going vegetarian is a very good thing - saves the environment / animals, but they're trivalising / scandalizing / cheapening it.
ARGH.
Sadly im not surprised.
Sadly im not surprised.
PETA long, long ago lost its message. They turned into the fad, the easy group celebs and others could join to say see I care about animals. In actuality PETA causes a lot of harm. When you join for the notoriety and not the cause you don’t really think of the animals first.
I note the cases of PETA members at a protest having a baby cow as a symbol of why we should not eat meat. After the protest, the members wanted to party so they locked the little baby into its cattle truck and left it there…. All day with no food or water so they could go get hammered. The calf was fine but they ironically enough had animal neglect charges filed against them. They cared more about being part of an image.
This is why I will NEVER donate or join PETA.
And yes I am a vegetarian and animal activist. So no hate mail J
I agree
I agree completely.
