They've been running on pure sexism for at least 10 years. Save the animals, abuse your fellow humans instead. I f*cking hate PETA. They've been running on pure sexism for at least 10 years.

They have a valid mission, with adolescent tactics. Unfortunately, PETA ruins what respectability they have with ads like this. They have a valid mission, with adolescent tactics.

I am talking, of course, about your "save the whales" billboards, depicting a fat woman in a bikini. These billboards lead readers to believe that going vegetarian inevitably leads to weightloss, which is patently false. It additionally promotes hatred and discrimination against fat people in general, and more specifically the misogynistic view that women have no value unless we meet some arbitrary definition of physical attractiveness. By playing into cultural (mis)perceptions of health and attractiveness, you not only undermine your own message with false information, but you also alienate potential supporters by insulting who they happen to be. These billboards are an embarrassment to your organization. I hope you take them down immediately, and in the future give more thought to the difference between "edgy" and "insultingly stupid."
