NBC Bans a Super Bowl Commercial

This morning I found out that NBC is refusing to air a commercial for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) during the Super Bowl this Sunday. NBC says the commercial is pornographic! Come on...pornographic...really?

While I'm no expert on porn...my eyes may have gazed upon a few magazine and/or movies over the years...but I don't think this commercial is pornographic...provocative, YES...porno, NO!

The ad features actresses getting...ummmm...friendly with vegetables, and NBC says the ladies are doing too good a job for the conservative audience that will tune into Sunday’s game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals. Conservative audience? Hello...can you say BEER DRINKERS? What guy throwing back some cold ones with his buddies is going to object to this commercial? I can tell you with certainty...NONE of my friends!

NBC says they objects to the following:

* licking a pumpkin
* breast touching while eating broccoli
* pumpkin from behind between legs
* rubbing pelvic region with a pumpkin
* asparagus on her lap
* licking an eggplant
* rubbing asparagus on breast

The ad uses the tagline that “vegetarians have better sex.” Apparently NBC doesn’t object to that statement but finds the combination of broccoli and skin too much.

All I can say is...BRING ON THE VEGGIES!
