Next Sunday, the Super Bowl is going to take place in Tampa, Florida, in the United States. Apparently, one of the biggest sporting events at the other side of the pond. Every year, this event is being broadcasted live and millions of Americans are watching it in front of their television. Being a European, I have never seen a game of American football, not on television, and not live. I must admit however that I would like to attend a game like this once. And probably, whenever I’ll be in the United States again, I will attend a game. I won’t understand the rules, but that’s not the most important thing. I am pretty sure that somebody in my neighbourhood will explain whatever I need to understand.

Especially to be broadcasted during this Superbowl, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), an American organisation that stands for the protection of animal rights, has made a clip in which some good looking female actors dressed in lingerie are pretty fond on vegetables. The message ends that vegetarians do have better sex!

But… NBC does not want to broadcast this ad, because inappropiate for the American public.  According to NBC, the ad depicts a level of sexuality exceeding their standards!

Hello? Wake up to the 21st century.

I guess “Nipplegate” is still on their mind. During the 2004 Superbowl, Janet Jackson showed (deliberately?) one nipple, and all hell broke loose. During many weeks, Jackson’s nipple was the talk of the town in the United States. Why is it that so many Americans are such puritans?

Hey guys, come to Europe once. Believe it or not, but we would never reject such an innocent clip on our television screens. In fact, we might reject it because it’s far too innocent.

Come to our beaches next summer. Most of the women are topless on our beaches. It might even come as a shock to you, but we even have nude beaches over here! And I am pretty sure that, once you are on these beaches, you’ll be the first to get out of your clothes…

Anyway, the clip does not depict a level of sexuality that exceeds my standards (on the contrary), so I am just putting it here!

Oh, and by the way… I am a vegetarian as well!
