I believe I am the last heterosexual male in the United States to hear about the PETA commercial NBC has declined to air during the Super Bowl today. Even my father knew about it before me. Criminy.
I have a hard time taking PETA seriously for a number of reasons. For starters, I find the organization's overt sensationalism quite off-putting. But they sure know how to make an internet sensation.
According to the PETA blog, here is NBC's list of objectionable material:
- licking pumpkin
- touching her breast with her hand while eating broccoli
- pumpkin from behind between legs
- rubbing pelvic region with pumpkin
- screwing herself with broccoli (fuzzy)
- asparagus on her lap appearing as if it is ready to be inserted into vagina
- licking eggplant
- rubbing asparagus on breast
This begs for a game of I Spy. Before you watch it again, study the list for a moment. Now see how many you can identify in a single viewing. I can honestly only take credit for finding four on my first pass. Quite poor, I think. Particularly because the pumpkin licking (and who hasn't licked a pumpkin on occasion) is a freebie. I think I'll need to make up a BINGO sheet and try again.
