PETA To Launch Pornography Website 348

Posted by samzenpus 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."

        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.

          Evidence of thought processes at PETA is pretty thin. No doubt they'll attract almost exclusively either (i) people such as teenage males hopped up on hormones, who will ignore oodles of animal suffering in their quest for a few XXX images, or (ii) people with bizarre fetishes who would actually prefer the blood-splattered animals to be in the XXX-rated images. Perhaps it will even lead to a new genre of kitten-slasher porn or something equally gross (potential replacement for the goatse guy).

      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.

        Or just visit the zoo on a warm summer day. Most of the male animals have boners, in public, and in front of children. Obviously, they need to be convicted as child-molesting sex criminals. Hmmm, maybe that's why they're already locked up.

    What they're planning, from the article:

    Visitors to the X-rated site will initially be presented with pornographic content as well as images from PETA's salacious ads and campaigns, Rajt said. Those images will be followed by pictures and video shot undercover of the mistreatment of animals. The site will also include links to vegetarian and vegan – using no animal products – starter kits as well as recipes.

    Either way, I don't see how this works out well for their message. How about online streaming of tv shows that hulu wont stream for free - supplemented with peta ads? Or, a paypal service - watch 15 minutes of peta ads, take a quiz on their policies, pass, and get $5? The porn angle is just too strange.
