mac_stoneJust, you know, for your general edification--I thought I'd spread the joy.
The whole thing about the recent SyFy/Stargate lesbian-who-gets has-to-fuck-a-man-because-a-straight-chick-is-inhabiting-her-body debacle, added to other generally hate-filled fuck-wittedness, is making me a little too tired to function, honestly.
Behold, an actual PETA press-release from a few months ago, with emphasis added for the eye-rolling amusement factor. Editorial comments in red, just for my own amusement:

Vegetarians Make Better Lovers, Say Lingerie-Clad Ladies
So...let me just parse this...you're going to put two scantily-clad "PETA beauties" on a bed, on a public street, to make out with each other because........because it's got something to do with animal welfare? Then, in the press release, you're going to coyly call these two women "Ladies."

Amarillo, Texas -- In a public display of passion that's bound to raise a few eyebrows and turn lots of heads, two PETA beauties--decked out in sexy lingerie--will kiss and pose provocatively on a bed set up on the sidewalk at a busy Amarillo intersection on Monday in order to make the point that vegetarians are better lovers. While the steamy sirens are "getting it on," activists holding a banner reading, "Vegetarians Make Better Lovers," will pass out free copies of PETA's "Vegetarian Starter Kit" to let gaping onlookers know how they can spice up their own sex lives. It's all part of PETA's "Live Make-Out Tour" during the week leading up to Valentine's Day. And what they don't say, but becomes clear in the linked video? They'll let the macho fellows who want to have their picture taken with these two "PETA beauties" just hop right down there to pose for a piece of the action.
When: Tuesday, February 10, 12 noon
Where: Corner of S.W. Sixth Avenue and S. Tyler Street, Amarillo
Why do vegetarians have it all over meat-eaters in the bedroom? For one thing, vegetarians are, on average, more fit and trim and have more energy and stamina than people who stuff themselves with fat-laden meat, dairy products, and eggs. And then there's a possibility of impotence: The cholesterol in meat and other animal products slows the flow of blood to all the body's vital organs, not just to the heart. And speaking of heart, there's nothing sexy about someone who turns a blind eye to the daily suffering of the billions of animals who are raised and killed for food each year.
"What could be more of a turn-on than snuggling up to someone who's both passionate and compassionate?" asks PETA veggie vixen Nadia Elmuanier.

Date: 2009-08-15 02:51 am (UTC)women = meat?
women = animals
lesbians = animals?
Notice, in the midst of the "hot girl on girl action," there's a guy who ah, fluffs, then poses, and then the guy with the cell, taking a picture.
Nice.

Date: 2009-08-15 03:27 am (UTC)Sort of a double-reverse misogyny. They don't think that way *themselves* of course. But the cause is so important, they're even willing to debase themselves to appeal to the unwashed masses. (Say, now that I think about it, isn't that a rather standard brainwashing technique? Once you've debased yourself for a cause, you're more invested in it, to make the sacrifice worth it.)

It's part of PETA's spay or neuter your pet campaign. The ad is definitely NSFW, but it's one of the least odious things they've done, and their spay or neuter campaign is one of the things they (seem to) do mostly right.
Still, overall, yeah, mostly twits.
