The Top 5 YouTube Videos Featuring PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals)

Whether you love them or hate them, the fact remains that the activist group PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has earned a well-deserved spot in American pop culture. From naked protests to throwing red paint on fur designers, PETA always seems to be doing something to grab the media spotlight. Now, with the advent of video sharing sites like YouTube, people from around the world can see PETA's zany antics with just a click of the mouse.

I've been involved with animal rights for a while, and I am a long-time PETA supporter. Recently, I took the time to search through the library of videos on YouTube to find the five best videos produced by or related to PETA. Now, I've decided to share my list here on Associated Content. Be sure to check out these videos:

5. Eating Meat Causes Impotence Commercial - Each year, PETA produces a commercial that they try to air during the Super Bowl, and each year the television networks faithfully reject PETA's advertising as "too racy." In this recent ad, reminiscent of a cheesy 70's porn flick, a pizza delivery guy finds out one of the many reasons that eating meat is just not sexy. After watching this video, it's not hard to see why PETA's ads are typically deemed "not fit for television."

4. PETA's "Vegetarians Make Better Lovers" Tour Goes Gay - Obviously, PETA thinks vegetarians make better lovers, and one particular media stunt that they really like involves two vegetarian activists making out on a public street corner. This particular demo, which normally involved a buff guy and a sexy girl, really turns heads, as you can imagine. Recently, PETA added a fresh twist to this "old trick," and spiced things up a bit by having two gay men make out to promote vegetarianism instead.

As a gay animal rights activist myself, I was really excited to see this video on YouTube. A big part of my work involves getting people to make the connections between various social justice issues, like gay rights and animal rights. I was really happy to see the activists address both issues in this video. Besides, the two guys in the clip are extremely hot.
