This time, it’s our friends in PETA. They’ve decided that just having nekkid celebs isn’t good enough. It’s time to have a full blown (heh) porn site.
On Slate, Hannah Rubenstein has an important point:
What kind of target audiences are these? Porn-seeking individuals who, after being assaulted by images of beak-less chickens and eyeless rabbits, feel disgusted and betrayed by the site, or, even worse, porn-seeking individuals who aren’t deterred by images depicting the graphic mistreatment of animals? How does this help PETA’s stated cause for the porn site: to promote veganism?But really, you know that PETA is just doing it for the publicity. And obviously they’ve managed that one pretty well.
So I’m thinking, probably no donkey show. But what’s their stand on furries?

Gord lod, what next?!
The PETA generation (which I usually think of as the one right behind mine) also makes slightly sadistic television ads for all kinds of products. The sadistic part is that you're not supposed to understand them because they are all insider, self-referencing humor that's completely disconnected from the product they're advertising. If you watch an ad and you don't know what it's for, that's a new generation ad.
And they've got that Gen-X whole full-body tattoo and ear stud thing to go with the veganism. I don't think prolonged sessions in a tattoo parlor links up logically with the loving care and feeding of kitty cats and puppy dogs, but it's got some vague correlation to porn for me.
I don't get it.
Does this comment make me look old?
