...with an appreciative link to Steve Gilliard for being really clear about PETA's ads comparing slavery to animals. (LATER: They got a web site with this stupidity on it)
...objectively, one could say PETA is either an outpost of the white supremacist movement or among the most clueless people alive.
This was no accident. This was approved by the highest levels in the racist PETA organization and approved by a number of people. As far as we know, not one of them raised an objection to the vulgarity of this image.
PETA is run by racists. Because only racists could approve such a campaign and take it on tour. They went to 17 cities before someone said this was fucked?
Imagine going into your office and proposing a campaign using the images of lynched people and slaves for a commercial reason.
"Boy I bet that slave would have liked a bottle of Poland Srping while picking cotton" is not a tagline designed to keep you employed. In fact, some might question your mental sanity. No one would call it a joke. As you were marched out of the building by security, they wouldn't be laughing, that's for damn sure.
This indicates a moral and ethical blindness at PETA which is stunning, no revolting. This was a major project of the organization, approved at the highest levels. NOT ONE OFFICER OR EXECUTIVE OBJECTED.
