A PETA ad in which the cast keeps its clothes on? It’s true, but the animal-rights group still manages to court controversy with its “Sex Talk” PSA. Apparently inspired by the headline-grabbing Gloucester, Mass., teen pregnancy pact, it shows a mom and dad encouraging their daughter to have sex with anyone and everyone. The no-frills spot is nicely cast. Dad’s whiney, offhand delivery of lines about disposing of unwanted kids (“We can leave ’em in the shelter, dump ’em in the street, whatever”) is priceless.
