Cheap tricks don’t work

There was once a fat woman from England…see here
Who had triplets and fed them nuggets and burgers from an early age…here

She got a bit of press and became a poster child for bad parenting and junk food etc, but kept on feeding her kids as she wanted to (McDonalds twice a week at least!)

Then along came PeTA..with this..

It gets your attention for about 2mins doesn’t it.

If you don’t immediately dismiss it as a cheap attempt at grabbing headlines and promoting themselves…you might start getting a bit pissed off.

Why?
Well I don’t know about you – but I don’t like being told what to do…
Inform me, don’t preach to me…and certainly don’t tell me that meat = child abuse!

Why?
Because you instantly lose credibility with me – and you won’t get it back.

This is the latest in some really wack marketing ideas by PeTA.

Semi porn anyone?

Strange use of minor celebs?

And scroll down (here) to see the ‘HANGING’ one – that makes me sick.

The wrong communication will alienate people – they’ll find that out soon.

Thanks to Brand Republic for the heads up

    The people at PETA have always been a little too extreme. They have alienated themselves from a lot of people because of it; I would be included in that group of people. I’m all for the humane treatment of animals. I have had pets my whole life and my dog is like my first born to me. But to say feeding my children meat is child abuse is so, excuse my French, fucked up on soooo many levels. Never mind the fact that it is blatantly untrue, it belittles a real crime; child abuse. And speaking of criminal, some of these PETA extremists have gone way to far several times in the past “in the name of animals”. REALLY!?!?!?
