P.E.T.A Teams Up With Amanda Beard
Posted by LOTGK on August 7, 2008
I commend Amanda Beard, Olympic athlete offering her name and nude body to a good cause, PETA. But it pisses me off when professional photographers and million dollar AD agencies screw up American Flag etiquette.
Check the flag in the background. Yes, force your eyes away from the naked Amanda and take a look at the American Flag. See anything wrong with this picture?
Flag etiquette states that the blue star field should always be in the upper left side when hanging from a wall. You would think Peta would know better.

I am feeling quite patriotic right now. I feel like saluting.
Max Jackl said
And PETA should know better. Who proof reads these ads?

What about the water?… the flag’s NOT supposed to get wet, right?
LOTGK said
Flag etiquette should not touch anything beneath it.
Not only that, flag etiquette states that the flag should not be used for any type of advertising whatsoever.
LOTGK said
Yea, and also that the flag should not have anything added to it, such as autographs, logo’s, ink, pictures.
This advertisment pretty much disregards the flag and slaps the flag code etiquette right in the face.

Peta = tools.

peta should be ashamed. All for a good cause, but a terrible public relations nightmare.

I just have to say that I am jealous of every person that worked on that set.
Bitzky said
Wow, you guys have a lot of flag rules. We use our quite freely in advertising.
Still, I don’t like PETA and therefore I disapprove of this ad. *tries to stop drooling*
Ann-Mi said
Arr, I’m with Bitzky. I don’t approve of PETA. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for animals, but some people just go about it wrong
I like the message however.
