In turning down the spot, NBC Universal vice president of advertising standards Victoria Morgan wrote that the "PETA spot submitted to Advertising Standards depicts a level of sexuality exceeding our standards," describing one actor as "screwing herself with broccoli."

"PETA's veggie ads are locked out while ads for fried chicken and burgers are allowed, even though these foods make Americans fat, sick, and boring in bed," responded PETA Senior Vice President Lisa Lange.
