“It’s ridiculous that this commercial was banned from NBC. Sure, it’s sexy, sure it’s provocative… [But], the bottom line for this ad was that studies show that vegetarians have better sex” said PETA spokesperson Michael McGraw.

McGraw said PETA was sent an e-mail from NBC “that was so sexually explicit it make PETA blush – which is hard to do – outlining several things that they’re insisting we remove from our TV spot”.

We’d like to see that e mail.  With the language that is allowed on tv and the sex scenes between guys & girls and guys with guys, what could make anyone blush these days.  Yes, the ad is sexy.  But consider what kids are seeing on tv these days.  And in some states girls who are under 18 do not need parental consent to have an abortion and don’t even have to notify their parents.  But NBC is worried about an ad showing girls eating vegetables?  Come on.  If NBC was worried about kids, they  would be more careful what they put on tv.  They didn’t think anything was wrong about Jay Z at Barack Obama’s Inauguration singing about “mother f*ckers” and “ho’s”.   That was okay for kids to hear and see.  Talk about a double standard.
