    All I can say to that is, that is one lucky bunch of veggies!!:-D That just goes to show ya that veggies DO have more fun!! One thing about Ramsey, he is colorful and he does get his point across, but he could be a lot more subtle about it. I've watched his show, 'Hell's Kitchen,' once and I thought, being a TV show he was just putting on an act, but after seeing that clip, I learned he is a bit crude, isn't he?;)

    I don't see why it should be banned. It is confusing, all those vegetables, and it is a PETA add?:confused There was no meat in the add. :confused

    Ehh, maybe it is some artsy thing PETA is trying.

    @Bill It always amazes me with the crap we have on tv, how tame our ads and shows really are. I am not a prude by any definition, but I'll take the subtle stuff over the in your face any day. We have Gordon Ramsey on TV here. The language is just beeped out. Guy has quite the mouth on him.


    lol...I thought the PETA ad was a little disturbing. It's VEGETABLES! ew

    @ Laura
    Our TV is quite shocking,as you know i am an ex-pat Brit and although i have lived here many years it still sound offensive when they use some of the expletives.
    These programs are broadcast before 8.30pm so a lot of kids are still watching.
    We have a quiz show called Blocken (blocker) based on the old Tetris game and the presenter has a habit of using J***s C****t and that is really hard to listen too.

    Because it is so widely used it is not unusual to hear kid as young as 7 or 8 using the F word and how do you chastise them when it's on TV.

    It seems like tradition now for a superbowl halftime ad to get banned,then it gets shown everywhere as the superbowl ad that was banned.

    I don't watch the superbowl I never have but I've seen alot of banned superbowl ads even over here in the UK,when they make them I bet they are like "Nah we can't show that ad it isn't hot enough,it won't get banned." :-D

    I think that ads pretty lame anyway I'm suprised it was banned,prolly banned just for traditions sake.

    Oh yeah almost forgot silly me,screw PETA.
