PETA To Launch Pornography Website

Posted by samzenpus on from the one-of-these-things-is-not-like-the-other dept.

The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals are planning on launching an adult oriented website to help protect animals through a mix of animal suffering footage and porn. I'm not sure how mixing the two will win hearts, minds, or naughty bits, but Lindsay Rajt, PETA's associate director of campaigns, seems to think it's a good idea. She says, "We're hoping to reach a whole new audience of people, some of whom will be shocked by graphic images that maybe they didn't anticipate seeing when they went to the PETA triple-X site."

      For once PETA does something I approve of. Yes, get more female celebrities to pose nude! I'm sure it will turn me from an omnivore to a herbivore once I get enough exposure!

      Its PETA, they've been insane since day one. They euthanize animals, while declaring they are for animal rights. Their leder takes insalin derived from canines, while saying that no animals should be used for medical research. They want animals to be treated like humans and be covered by the same laws, which would result in them all being locked up for indecent exposure and public indecency.

      They haven't derived "insalin" from Canines in ages. I'm sure their "leder" is using the modern brands of insulin.

      One can only hope that too much exposure doesn't result in people becoming sexually aroused by cruelty to animals. I really think that PETA should have thought this through a little bit more.

    In the 80s, when we were teens sneaking copies of Hustler away from older brothers or swapping with neighbors I remember seeing several issues with both porn and horrible war footage.

    Flynt was not afraid to publish articles showing exactly what kind of destruction the US was, or had been, wreaking overseas. And he showed the cost it had on the soldiers as well.

    The nudity and sex were not the obscenity. The murder of civilians and the treatment of those who had signed up to serve the country was the real obscenity.

    Of course this is ridiculously idiotic. That's just what they're going for. Say something batshit insane that'll provoke media coverage and public reaction to show people that PETA still exists and believes in ending the suffering of animals or whatever. They have no intention of actually doing this, it's just another cynical attention-grabbing statement to remind people about PETA.

    how even blowing up a facility in order to free animals being tested on counts as Terrorism(tm) if you're not targeting people.

    Terrorism doesn't have to target people by direct violence. So long as the intent is to force others into accepting some political or ideological point through fear (whether of violence against them, or destruction against their property), and it is practiced systematically, it is terrorism.
