This past week NBC rejected an ad for the Super Bowl from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) because it “depicts a level of sexuality exceeding our standards.”

The ad itself is rather hilarious, and certainly NBC has run things as explicit before.  NBC said they would consider running the ad if the following were changed:

:12- :13- licking pumpkin
:13- :14- touching her breast with her hand while eating broccoli
:19- pumpkin from behind between legs
:21- rubbing pelvic region with pumpkin
:22- screwing herself with broccoli (fuzzy)
:23- asparagus on her lap appearing as if it is ready to be inserted into vagina
:26- licking eggplant
:26- rubbing asparagus on breast

After the ad was rejected, PETA responded, “Ads for fried chicken and burgers are allowed, even though these foods make Americans fat, sick and boring in bed.”
In the end, PETA did not pay the millions for this to run for 30 seconds.  Instead they have received a great deal of free promotion as this thing makes its way around the internet, making them the winner of this silliness.
