PETA's Banned Thanksgiving Day Ad

Typically, PETA ads get banned from TV because they are overtly sexual and have nothing to do with the treatment of animals. This time, their ad was banned because if offers a truthful but horrifying description how turkeys are raised and killed. Happy Thanksgiving!

MediaCurves.com conducted a study among 321 viewers of PETA’s “Grace” Thanksgiving advertisement. Results found that viewers were less interested in animal rights issues after viewing a controversial ad. More than one-third of viewers (36%) reported that the advertisement was “not at all effective.” In addition, more than half of the viewers (56%) indicated that the ad was “disturbing.” More in depth results can be seen at:
