Love hurts. Sometimes it stinks. Lots of folks have been holding their noses this week, thanks to a relationship-themed spot from PETA that seems to make light of violent sexual abuse as it promotes vegan lifestyles. Released on Valentine's Day, the clip shows a young woman wearing a neck brace, limping home with a bag of produce in her arms. It turns out she's suffering from BWVAKTBOOM, aka "Boyfriend Went Vegan and Knocked the Bottom Out of Me."
