Cable Company Yanks Nude Silverstone PETA Ad
http://www.nbc30.com/entertainment/14175085/detail.html

Video
http://www.peta.org/feat/alicia_psa/index.asp

Silverstone is naked in an ad for People for the Ethical Treatment Of Animals. She shows her bare behind in one scene, and obscures the view of her naked body with her arms as she gets out of the pool.

The 30-year-old, who's appeared in movies such as "Clueless" and "Batman and Robin," shot the ad to promote vegetarianism.

A spokesperson for Comcast told People magazine that the 30-second ads were pulled in Houston even though they had already been paid for.

The animal-rights group said that it launched the commercial in Houston because the city is often high on lists of cities with unhealthy eating habits.

1. I guess they must be
more into young boys down there. :rofl:

How Victorian for this day and age - if that was on in England nobody would bat an eyelid.

2. Nice video of a girl getting out of a pool.
Though, I didn't get the connection to vegetarianism.

3. Oh for goodness sakes. There is nothing wrong with that video. Just
a very beautiful human being trying to get a point across about something she believes in.

Geeze, I see much more graphic and almost pornographic shit on television every day of the week. During prime time.

Lordy. This is just stupid.

5. Talk about stick up the butt!
Even if I were a prude, I could say I've seen something more offensive at the beach. It's past time to laugh these fools off the face of the Earth.

6. Nothing wrong with the ad
b/c you only saw her ass for a split second. However, being that it's PETA, I'm glad they pulled it. Every time there's a PETA post, I feel a strong urge to cook a nice NY Strip medium rare. Damn I hate PETA.:smoke:
