UPDATE [29/08/2013]: We have updated the article in order to take issue with Google Adsense saying that an image is considered pornographic material. We consider it isn’t, given the fact that it was an actual ad for PETA found on Flickr back in 2011. There is nudity – which apparently goes against Adsense’s policies – but it’s not adult material. Like I said, this was an ad for PETA. However, we can’t tell Google that because they have no appeals process on ‘warnings’. Basically, this is a fuck you to Google Adsense for censoring material unjustly – and I know they’ll read this because they say they’ll be back in 72 hours.
The original article is below:
Animal rights activists People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals might have gone a bit crazy. The group has announced plans to launch a porn site that hopes to raise awareness of veganism.
It definitely would raise something, but not awareness.
According to Reuters, the company plans to launch a .xxx domain that will also include graphic footage of animal suffering with the hardcore pornography. Yes, because PETA thinks you’ll turn vegan if you see animals being tortured while seeing porn.
I personally think that that PETA are just actively encouraging bestiality.
“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,” said Lindsay Rajit, who is PETA’s associate director of campaigns, to Reuters.
“We try to use every outlet that we can to speak up for animals. We anticipated that this new triple-X domain name would be a hot topic and we immediately decided to use it and take advantage of it to try to promote the animal rights message.”
No, Lindsay. You’re going to attract psychos with animal cruelty porn.
PETA is known for not shying away from nudity, such as its non-fur campaigns. However, those campaigns didn’t leave bile in my mouth. This new campaign does.
