NBC Bans Racy PETA Ad From Super Bowl

PETA says Vegetarians have better sex. Who doesn’t want to see a bunch of hot lingerie models frolicking with a bunch of vegetables? NBC, for one. Apparently, the network says PETA can’t air their racy veggie commercial during the Super Bowl.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, “PETA says NBC's vp advertising standards Victoria Morgan rejected the ad because it ‘depicts a level of sexuality exceeding our standards.’” The Reporter went on to say that NBC’s spokesperson said the ad doesn’t conform to their standards. Honestly, while the ad (below) is pretty racy, is it really all that explicit by today’s TV standards or is NBC just being a little uptight here?

I think the lady in the hot tub’s makin’ soup.
