Take your clothes off! The circus is evil!

Wow. As always, naked women are the way to go for convincing me of things. Especially if by things you mean earthquakes. However, taking your clothes off and telling people not to go to the circus seems dumb. How about keeping your clothes on, treating women like we have brains and not just breasts, and making a rational argument against mistreatment of animals rather than a wild attack on all circuses. Many circuses do not use animals at all, and some that do are very very clear about the fact that the animals are treated more than humanely. (Also, the humans at circuses often don't live much better than the animals from what I understand, but that's not a problem. I suppose it's their own fault for working in a circus.) As always seems to be the case, PETA is more concerned with making a statement than with accuracy, women's rights, or intelligence.
Also, today I saw a terrifying add for Folgers coffee. http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid1320151605?bctid=60450628001 Warning: this commercial is creepy and sexist and makes my stomach turn.
Or that may just be the plague.
