Just to tell you how out of touch I was with what is happening outside of working offline, I had to be reminded that this coming Sunday is the Super Bowl. Sacrilege! This morning, though, I’m cracking up over the PETA veggie sex ad (YouTube video) that didn’t make the cut. Thanks Mike Doe for the chuckles.

Asparagus, broccoli … sexy? LOL. They’ve got to be kidding. I’m not sure what’s more funny though, the use of odd-shaped vegetables (hey, what wrong with the old phallic standbys? Cucumbers, carrots, you know) as sexual innuendo OR the fact that YouTube flashes the Warning: Adult Content message before you can visit and watch said video on their site. Seriously, trying to make an event where grown men violently knock the crap out of each other family wholesome fun is a bit twisted. I can see baseball being more wholesome but even that sport has bench clearing brawls and violent collisions at the plate. Violence ok, sex not ok, is that it? Time to grow up, NFL. All of us got here because of the latter and most as a result of being squeezed through our mother’s you know what. Having witnessed this first hand several times I’d say it’s a beautifully violent event and men have the easy part by a long shot in the birthing process. Of course having sex with vegetables isn’t going to lead to any baby carrots. I’m just thinking from a practicality sense of women having sex with a head of broccoli. That’s going to get very messy – in a non-sexual, turn-off way. Little crumply shards of broccoli everywhere, eww. The vision is not working for me. At all. The PETA commercial as comedy is funny but them trying to shove home, pardon the pun, some poorly veiled message that meat is bad and unsexy while vegetables are good and sexy puts PETA even more fringe than I already thought they were. Now ladies don’t forget the next time you are on the vegetable aisle that PETA is counting on you to get very horny when see that pristine head of cauliflower. Don’t let them down. And disappoint the NFL at will. Go Cards!
