PETA complains, Dodge responds
 
Auto company Dodge recently found itself in PETA's crosshairs after the carmaker aired a commercial starring a monkey dressed up like Evel Knievel. But, unlike many who draw the ire of PETA, Dodge fought back in an amusing way. :D:up::D

How do we know it didn't happen....invisibility isn't only skin deep, is it?

I'd have liked to see the PETA office..........:woot:

I know. I think that is the point actually. Certain groups, in order to remain relevant must always interject themselves in the most unsatisfactory way. But still very funny!!!

PETA doesn't have any really seriously evil practices to combat these days. Now, if GM had instead used a blind monkey with a sonar taped to its head... :lol:

Lol, Peta must not have much to do, as krashkart said.

If the monkey jumped a bike over the cars, they might have something to whine about. On the other hand, if the monkey was that good, maybe not.

On the other other hand:

"Does your meenkey have a laysance?"

The more PETA question is how dare you not ask for a licsence for your monkey. We will control your personal behavior!

Oh, there's always enough animal tortre and abuse, it's just that some pencil scratching PR bored-to-death bureaucrats want to take on some big guys, just for publicity

remember, NO publicity is BAD publicity

I wouldn't have even acknowledge them. Just make the commercial:03:

+1.

And I'm all for humane treatment of animals. But CGI monkeys can be shot out of cannons for all I care. (hear that, Dodge? It's your next commercial calling.) :cool:
