A Defense of PETA (part two)

I'd disagree with you here entirely. Being pro-nudity,

pro-pornography, and having done sex work, I think

there's a massive difference between the notion that

sex and nudity sells and explicitly insulting the

bodies of the majority of the American populace (who

happen to be " overweight " , for whatever reason...)

 

Placing " traditionally attractive " models in an ad (as

opposed to Plain Janes and Average Adams) is not the

same as blatantly stating that one or several kinds of

people are unsightly or " disgusting " . Granted, the

statement may be implicit in some people's minds, but

I'm a lot more comfortable seeing Helena Christensen

scantily clad than I am with being overtly insulted.
