See The TSA-Mocking PETA Ads That Have Been Banned From Airports Nationwide

» 9 comments

PETA adIf you’re reading this, chances are you made it to your Thanksgiving destination safe and sound—despite any delays caused by body-scanner-related confusion. Even so, there’s still a mountain of controversy surrounding the TSA’s new security screening procedures—and now PETA, the animal rights organization that never shies away from controversy, has entered the fray with a group of new ads that make light of body scanners and pat downs.

The Boston Herald writes that one of these ads, a video featuring Pamela Anderson as a sexy TSA agent removing leather and fur from travelers, has been banned at Logan Airport. “It doesn’t sound like an appropriate ad for the airport environment,” says Massport spokesman Matt Brelis.

PETA’s also trying to launch a body scan-mocking ad campaign featuring still photographs. One shows a scan of a woman wearing only a bra that’s emblazoned with the words “Be Proud.” Elsewhere, the true message of the ad is visible: “Be Proud of Your Body Scan: Go Vegan.” The Associated Press writes that airports in Las Vegas, Charlotte, N.C. and New York City have all refused to display these ads.

The full Anderson ad, though, is available to watch online; if PETA gets its way, it may also play at some less-discerning airport this holiday season. Watch the whole crotch-grabbing extravaganza for yourself below.

    Not to get all technical, but the amusing video was apparently submitted to one ad broker who said no. The airport official said it wasn’t his department and the ad broker is a private contractor, who provides one service for one airport and who knows, he may even be a member of PETA.

    IOW: The video hasn’t even been banned from one airport, just one ad spot.

    As for the poster ads, they included enough areola to qualify as a nip-slip, so I’m sure they never really expected them to be accepted and like everything else PETA, they get a bigger bang for the things that don’t run.

    They know it. We know it. It’s all just cable and blog fodder.

    Oh well, when you actually remove the spam, my post does seem a bit out of context.

    Fact: Need to open a procedure first then you can use the ad that’s how it works with government. Procedure writers write it and management follows it. Tells who’s in charge in a government society. Example of this could be Mr. Teleprompter!

    Mediaite is slipping, only 5 articles about Sarah Palin listed on the online page. What’s the matter Mediaite can’t find someone to make up more stuff about Sarah?
