PETA's 'Milk Gone Wild' Makes Drinking Milk Damn Sexy

The anti-humans at PETA have launched a new web campaign: Milk Gone Wild. (Main page is worksafe.) In it they're essentially riffing on the popular Girls Gone Wild video series. (Sadly there's no sign of Snoop.) They've got a series of photos and video shoots with attractive young human females who lift their shirts to reveal... multiple udders.

Nevermind that comparing a cow to a person is inane, I guarantee this whole campaign will backfire. Why?

Think about it. When I first saw the udders, I admit I was pretty grossed out. Long nipples, four breasts, etc. Not my cup of tea. But by the fifth or sixth time seeing them, I had learned to live with them. By the tenth shot of the uddered chicks, my inner Beavis was telling me, "Damn, this is pretty hot."

It's a lot like eating new foods. Take foie gras, for example, or sushi. (Or olives, but for obvious reasons let's keep this focused on how great it is to eat animals.) Maybe the first time you tried one of these delicious dead animal delicacies you were a bit wary. But to your surprise it tasted just fine. Then, the second time, you might have actually enjoyed it. By the third time, you were thinking, "Damn. Where can I get me some goose liver?"

Well that's the same effect this PETA ad had on me. Good work, guys. I don't actually drink milk, but now that you've sexualized it for me, I just might start.
