This new commercial by animal rights group PETA has been deemed too racy for Super Bowl viewers. According to NBC, “it’s too sexual in nature”.

nbc bans racy superbowl peta ad

In this advertisement, women are undressing… flaunting their sexy lingerie while playing sensually with veggies.

There is one shot where it looks like one woman is about to have sex with a pumpkin!

PETA spokesman Michael McGraw said the company was surprised the ad was rejected.

According to the press release:

PETA wanted the commercial to add balance to the traditional onslaught of Super Bowl commercials for meaty, greasy, and factory-farmed fast food, including those run by KFC. The fast-food giant is a major NBC sponsor–and a target of heavy PETA campaigning as a result of its failure to reform cruel animal welfare practices and slaughter methods. PETA is asking if this relationship could have something to do with NBC’s decision to nix the group’s ad.

WARNING: Don’t watch this video if you are easily offended by broccoli spears, asparagus, pumpkin and hot babes in sexy lingerie.


Do you think the advert is ‘too hot’ for television?

    ironically PETA is getting more publicity from the fact that their ad was banned than they would have if it was approved

    Yeah, a bit far for public tv. I really don't want to see our society go any further in sexual content. As it is, I have to cover my 11 year old grandson's eyes in nearly every show or movie he wants to watch. But since he can't avoid it if he tried, he knows exactly why I am covering his eyes… He's seen it before. Personally, I'm intelligent, I know where the scene is leading. I don't have to be shown those very private moments to follow the story line.. I'm 64 years old. . . I've seen it all before and am a bit tired of it. If I was hungry to see someone else doing sex, I'd go down to the porn shop and pick up a video for after my grandson goes to bed.
