PETA ad encourages teens to have sex?
PETA launched a new "Sex Talk" commercial Monday drawing a link between unwanted teen pregnancies and animal spaying and neutering...and they're airing it in Jamie Lynn Spears' hometown.
The 30-second ad features parents who encourage their daughters to become sexually active. When one daughter asks her mother, "What if I get pregnant?" she responds with "pop out all the kids you can" and says, "If it has a pulse, you should be wrapped around it!"
The ad will air twice a day through Friday during "Good Morning America" in Kentwood, La., where the Spears family resides.
Spears, the 16-year-old sister of Britney and star of "Zoey 101," sparked controversy last month when she announced she was pregnant.
PETA's president Ingrid E. Newkirk said in a statement, "Just as Lynne Spears is under scrutiny because of her underage daughter's pregnancy, people who fail to spay and neuter their animals should also be feeling the heat."
The commercial concludes with, "Parents shouldn't act this way. Neither should people with dogs and cats. Always spay or neuter."
On its Web site, PETA points out the reason for the human-animal link, stating "one female cat can create 420,000 cats in just seven years, and an unneutered male cat can father limitless litters of kittens.
"Unwanted dogs and cats who never make it to animal shelters are abandoned and left to fend for themselves on the streets, where they are often subjected to cruelty and suffer from starvation, diseases, or injuries."

I saw a segment on this on MSNBC or something of the like, and the headline said "Ad encourages teen pregnancy?" or close to that. What? It says right on the commercial "Parents shouldn't act this way."
On the bright side, the ad portrays the teen as the smart and safe one.
This doesn't encourage teen pregnency. People blow everything out of proportion.
Ugghhh.
lol
some people need to turn on their sarcasm detectors :P
SoulRiser, are you talking to me? Because I think this is shit.
they could have done that better it can mislead you into thinking that they're wanting us to spay and neuter teens.
i don't mean to offend anyone, but it finally has to be said:
PETA
