Verizon chains up that pit-bull commercial

Verizon Wireless has finally pulled its pit-bull commercial following a PETA initiative that generated more than 7,000 e-mails of complaint, according to the animal-rights group. PETA opines: “Chaining dogs—who are highly social pack animals—is dangerous because it deprives them of the social interaction that they need and can make them overly aggressive. Dogs need a life, companionship and room to run.” Killer’s gonna miss his bridge game? Get real: These animals are chained because they’re vicious freaks that’ll gnaw out your windpipe and then have to be destroyed! Sorry, did I say that out loud? All of the controversial ads that were pulled in the past week deserved what they got.
