Apparently, NBC has something against girls who love their veggies and has banned Peta's new ad for the Superbowl, which they were probably never planning on actually placing. Of course, being banned by NBC is a really effective way to drive viewers to your Web site to watch the naughty ad -- and it saves about $3M, as the Washington Post noted.

After Peta submitted its proposed Super Bowl ad, which effectively drives home the fact that vegetarians make better lovers by demonstrating their fondness for fresh produce, NBC nixed the ad, saying it "depicts a level of sexuality exceeding our standards." The list of shots NBC requested they cut before they'd reconsider the ad contained notes such as no "licking pumpkin and asparagus."

Peta's rep released the statement: "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.Why so grouchy NBC? Sounds like someone's not getting enough um...vegetables. I'm thinking network execs could really benefit from a broccoli booty call."
