PETA's Response

"OK, I'll admit, it's not The Jonas Brothers eating apple pie, but it sure does drive home the fact that vegetarians make better lovers. And I'm pretty sure that most Super Bowl fans would find the ad a lot more appealing than the impotence and other not-so-sexy effects that a steady stream of chicken wings and burgers can have on their love lives." - Amy ElizabethThe PETA Files: NBC's Sexually-Explicit Super Bowl ad rejection (January 27, 2009)
