Dita Von Teese for PETA's "Animal Birth Control" ABC campaign

I don't know how it is PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals) gets away with so many undie/naked advertisements... (I can totally see an women's rights group launching an Anti-PETA pro-clothing campaign.) Dita Von Teese launched a campaign this week doing what she does best (posing provocatively) urging for the timely spaying and neutering of cats and dogs. She appears to be teaching from a book called "ABC" - Animal Birth Control - in a cheeky corset, cute peep toes and fishnet stockings. Thats one way to get attention. [Source: Getty Images]

This is a great example of strength expressed through sexuality. Dita is not posed passively, nor does she look victimized in this photo. In fact, its a perfect homage to Bettie Paige, the inspiration for the ad. Bettie Paige used used sexuality in the same way 60 years ago and she's a permanent part of America's fetish culture because of it.

It's a great ad. For those who think feminists should be up in arms about these ads, please re-think what the Feminist Movement was all about. It's about having choices. That includes the choice to make these ads. Would you worry if it was a scantily-clad male posing? Probably not.

This ad is definately in poor taste. The intended message here, as we know, is for the protection and well-being of animals. But it appears from the ad that a woman does not deserve the same respect...she is obviously depicted exposed and susceptible. PETA obviously disregards the value of a woman for the sake of an animal.

PETA,like all commercial ventures, uses every method it can to gain attention; thus, nearly or completely naked young women. The point being we all are naked under our fancy clothes but humans are protected from their vulnerabilities. Get it, dunces????

great ad. sure, people need creative ways to make them pay attention. This is an ad to spay/neuter your pets which is necessary. So many dogs are killed in shelters or worse while more puppies are born.

It's funny how people turn things around though and turn it into a post about being anti-veggie. I haven't eaten animails in over 12 years and know it's the right thing but people will try to find fault in this. It's because they know what they are doing is wrong. I know I don't need to defend myself for not causing added suffering in the world.
