Public Service Announcements Gone Wild

It's PETA's latest attempt to convince us that... Hey! Look! Boobies!

I'm all for protecting the cute fuzzy things, and even the not-so-cute-or-fuzzy things, but I haven't agreed with PETA for the better part of 20 years. In an ideal world we wouldn't have to kill or exploit other living things period. We're not there yet. And while the dairy industry (of which I know a little bit about living in the middle of New York's dairy country) should be taken to task for many of their practices, especially the large factory farms, I just don't see these sorts of tactics making a reasoned, enlightened case for more humane treatment of animals. Indeed, some feminist groups have declared PETA's Milk Gone Wild campaign sexist. Personally, I think the feminists have a better case here than PETA.

Sorry to go all preachy on you there. Now here's the vid for you autohypnotic viewing pleasure.


Comments:
Have you seen the "Penn & Teller: Bullshit" episode about PETA. Pretty interesting stuff. The show is out on DVD now, btw.
 
I saw that episode. For Ayn-Rand-worshipping Libertarian fan boys they're a lot of fun, but could they maybe find more unbiased critics and debunkers than the freaking CATO Institute shills?

Good show though, one of the few that actually tries to take a critical look at some serious cultural baggage. I bet a lot of people didn't realize PETA euthanized the majority of animals it "rescued".
 
Okay, that is just...hilarious. I see Peta's point, but not many will. They'll just be going "Udders? EW! And...oh, nasty, milk!"
But, that's the stupid for you.
P.S.-I'm wearing animal products RIGHT NOW!!
