Speaking of ridiculously counter-productive adverts from cartoonishly inept advocacy groups: Heeeeeere’s PETA!

I can only imagine how they come up with these PSAs:
DIRECTOR: We need ideas for a new pro-vegan advert!
MEMBER 1: Um … oh, I know – veganism increases your sex drive!
MEMBER 2: Wait, how does that make sense?
MEMBER 1: Cuz meat is bad and clogs up your penis.
MEMBER 2: Oh, okay.
DIRECTOR: Veganism = better sex! I like it. How do we show it?
MEMBER 1: How ’bout boyfriend fucks girlfriend so hard, he smashes her head into the wall and puts her in a neck-brace?
MEMBER 2: Wait, doesn’t that just sound like domestic violence?
MEMBER 1: Not if she smiles at the end.
MEMBER 2: Oh, okay.
DIRECTOR: Okay, so she’s injured by such awesome sex, but she’s okay with it, so the audience will be, too. Is she sexy?
MEMBER 1: Yeah, we make her walk around in lopsided panties and a bra and stuff.
MEMBER 2: Oh, come on, that’s just appealing to sexualization again. Don’t we do that enough?
MEMBER 1: Obviously not. Oh, and get a real nice close-up view of her half-naked ass, especially when she limps up the stairs.
MEMBER 2: I hate you.
DIRECTOR: Shut up or I’m putting you on dunking-blood-on-celebs detail again.
You just have to wonder how those things they have for minds work.
