PETA to launch .xxx smut site 'to help animals'
Naked celebrity campaign moves to next level

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals reportedly plans to launch a porn site.

The website, at peta.xxx, will be "a pornography site that draws attention to the plight of animals", according to Reuters, which cited a spokesperson.

With thousands of well-known companies reluctantly queueing up to pay up to block their trademarks in the forthcoming .xxx top-level domain, PETA appears to be a unique case of a non-porn brand that plans to embrace "adult entertainment" to further its cause.

The publicity-hungry organisation is of course no stranger to pandering to the prurient interest – its long-running "I'd rather go naked than wear fur" ad campaign has persuaded celebrities from Eva Mendes to Khloe Kardashian to strip off for a bit of soft-focus photography.

Quite what a porn site dedicated to animal rights looks like remains to be seen. We await its launch with a mixture of curiosity and terror.

PETA has yet to secure its .xxx domain. The "sunrise" period for trademark holders to protect their brands – at a cost of $200 and up – does not kick off until 7 September.

PETA recently crossed paths with the internet domain name industry when it called unsuccessfully for a boycott of domain registrar and web host Go Daddy, after its then-CEO shot an elephant.

It later scored a coup when it recruited Go Daddy spokes-totty Jillian Michaels to lead a demonstration in Los Angeles against the mistreatment of elephants in circuses. ®

Uhhh.... OK?

How the hell does this even work? half way through a scene it pauses, Jenna jameson walks out and says, "Hi, I'm adult film star Jenna Jameson, I'm sorry to interupt your fapping but I have an urgent message I'd like to share with you about battery farmed chickens and deforestation in Indonesia which is threatening the orangutan population."

PETA stopped being animal rights activist a long time ago. Now they are nothing more than self-publicising trouble makers.

You know, I was thinking the other day, the internet doesn't have near enough porn, I welcome this.

[DocM]

Yup, they've officially jumped the shark

More like a stab at grabbing more revenue.

Perhaps because sex is a natural behaviour of every animals, not just humans. Perhaps they are just promoting their movement through a natural method. Sex has became more for entrainment rather than procreation.

No, they're still animal rights activists, and they do an excellent job.

It's unlikely it will show animals having sex. It's most likely it will be human porn, but the themes of each scene will revolve around animal rights. Hopefully it'll educate some viewers

I meant mixing porn and animals rights doesn't seem like it would work. I don't know what tangenet you've went off on.
