PETA Reveals Santa’s Little Problem
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is the largest animal rights organization in the world. They got that way not just because they have a cause, but also because they run the cleverest ad campaigns. We’ve all seen the shock news stories featuring nude models barely concealing their bodies with big posters that protest the wearing of fur – That’s PETA.
PETA’s latest Santa Clause ad is creating a stir this year. In this ad, a concerned Santa looks down inside his Santa pants. Apparently he hasn’t been able to please Mrs. Claus lately. The reason? According to the poster, milk causes impotence, while soy milk has the opposite effect. Many people feel that PETA has gone too far with this ad.
Critics say there is no clinical evidence to suggest that milk can cause impotence. On the other hand, PETA’s supporters point out the high cholesterol levels of cow’s milk and its tendency to cause vascular constriction. In men, this does equate with impotence and may account for the widespread use of Viagra, even by younger men.
The battle will rage on, no doubt and PETA will have scored another victory for their brilliant advertising, but will they make a dent in the sale of milk? Will people turn to soy milk in droves? It’s not likely, but you’ve got to hand it to them – they make people think.
“All publicity is good publicity,” the saying goes. PETA has created an ad that generates tons of publicity, both good and bad, with their latest Santa Clause ad. Whatever the outcome, let’s hope that Santa gets over his little problem without having to resort to Viagra!
