This is actor abuse. PeTA hires these grossly overweight individuals, who I suspect are all paid up dues members of the Screen Actors Guild, made them act out these self-deprecatory things.

PeTA should consider renaming itself
People’s Ethical Treatment of Actors. This mock commercial misses the point, as it employs those who evidently are the ones PeTA are meant to illuminate.

It’s like if a suicide hotline hired a buddhist monk to set himself on fire for the camera to promote their 800 number.

but it goes to show how used we are to PeTA stretching the limits of good taste… I never even gave it a second thought. Egg on my face.

just goes to show you how quick people are to bash PETA without even giving it a second thought. If it’s Jimmy Kimmel – it’s funny. If it’s PETA it’s bad taste. Hmmm…
