Hey, I didn't make this tasteless story up. I copied it straight off PETA's web site! Guess talking soft porn starlets into going nude for the cause wasn't enough for the snickering little frat boys at PETA HQ. They want some help in raising a whole new crop of morally casual young ladies for their future naughty ad campaigns.
And don't forget, those little boys need their cheap thrills.
Spay/Neuter PSA Focusing on Teen Sex Hits Too Close to Home in Texas

San Angelo, Texas--A controversial new PETA ad in which parents urge their teenage daughter to become sexually active--a satirical take on the irresponsible behavior of people who allow their companion animals to breed--has been rejected by San Angelo TV stations in the wake of the scandal involving a polygamist sect in Eldorado. Allegations that adults at the Yearning for Zion Ranch forced young girls to have sex have given the ad a more somber meaning and made its message all the more relevant--and too racy to run.
The 30-second ad is intended to point out the absurdity of failing to spay and neuter companion animals by comparing it to the absurdity of urging a teenager to have sex and "pop out all the kids you can." The ad concludes, "Parents shouldn't act this way. Neither should people with dogs and cats. Always spay or neuter." One San Angelo TV station representative called the ad "pretty bold" but worried that viewers who don't pay close attention might not understand its tongue-in-cheek message.
With 7,759 unwanted animals euthanized in San Angelo in 2007, PETA believes that it is critical for Texans to spay and neuter their dogs and cats. One unspayed female cat can create 420,000 cats in just seven years, and an unneutered male cat can father limitless litters of kittens. Unwanted dogs and cats who never make it to animal shelters are abandoned and left to fend for themselves on the streets, where they are often subjected to cruelty and suffer from starvation, diseases, or injuries.
"PETA's 'Sex Talk' commercial takes irresponsible behavior to an absurd degree, but unfortunately, some people really don't take their responsibilities as parents or animal guardians seriously," says PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk. "The ad is shocking--but so is refusing to spay or neuter companion animals when millions of cats and dogs are dying for a lack of good homes."
