108. The difference, as I see it, is that sex isn't oppression. The Holocaust was.

They're not the same, they're not even close to similar.

On one hand, you had 6 million men, women, and children who were brutally and systematically murdered, and PETA was saying that the the Chickens at Col. Sanders are the moral equivalent. Yes, that is offensive.

On the other, you have a fairly goofy ad using scantily clad women to make a point that vegans have better sex lives. Now, not everyone likes scantily clad women, but most people do like sex. I wouldn't have a problem with the ad if they had used scantily clad men... in fact, they probably should make some of those, too.

People who equate sex, nudity, or eroticism in their myriad forms with oppression... I'm sorry, I don't get it.
