I can say the add is obnoxious, but there is way more sexist stuff around in advertising...

I'm ambivalent.

Not to mention the sheer ridiculousness of it. All animals have the same parts? What animals other than furries have breasts? What humans have hooves? I'm telling ya, P.E.T.A. is just one desperate douchebagging after another.

They meant breasts in the sense a chicken has breasts. Not human udders/actual (gross, as Dark Herlm hint Sayo might believe) breasts. They are usually called breasts (and butcher are widely believed to use such diagrams).

All mammals, dumbass.

I've seen skimpier outfits on the beach, and I've seen nude pictures being used to combat that one weight loss disease that people won't shut up about. Don't see what's even "sexy" about it. I'll give the city "objectifying", though, because, well... They're kinda literal on the "looking at a woman like a piece of flesh" bit...

That is very true. That's the reason I have seen more sexist stuff in advertising, but it is a very literal way of objectifying.

Next time, I think they better stick to anthropomorphic animals for their ads. Way less change to insult people, though images of it will go viral very quickly.

Unless you mean all mammals have nipples, I don't think I'll be needing to buy my cat a bra.

But the ad is kind of demeaning to Humanity. Half the time, I don't know whether the message they're trying to convey is "animals are just as good as us" or "doing anything animals don't is an unforgivable sin". I mean, as one person on a forum I used to go to said, they're the type of people who would rip a goldfish out of its bowl shouting "FREEDOM" and toss it into the mouth of a bigger fish, sighing "Ahh, the circle of life". Those people are messed up.

Might wanna buy that bra right about now.

Actually, that is more reminescent of ALF.

But I'll hand you that PETA are zealots.

I choked on the water I was drinking when I read that.

I see worse billboards than that while walking down the street
'course I live in Vegas but still, these guys could have it much worse

Yes, I also see more exposed ads on the street sometimes (and I live in a village), usually sloggi ads.

But Hakker's point that this is rather radical objectification does make some sense. There isn't much respect for a woman if you paint her down as just a piece of meat.

True that. Where have I seen a diagram like that before?

Oh yeah...
