Default 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.


Original commercial

Revised commercial

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...

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
