Culturalia: Ad Battle

"If he was alive, I think he'd have some big questions about how the ad cheapens our lives ..."

Summary


After TheChanges, the line between theri rights and animal rights becomes a contentious subject -- and can occasionally strike a raw nerve. A week after a San Francisco minotaur gets killed by a hit-and-run driver, PETA features a dead minotaur in one of its anti-meat-eating ads, and it touches off a bitter war of words.
