Pro-veg TV ad maligns hot dogs, raises false cancer fears.


The mighty hot dog is one of our nation's most perfect foods. After all, it contains just about all of God's creatures. But a new tv ad running in major cities links hot dogs with cancer, which the American Cancer Society and the hot dog lobby are calling a silly scare tactic.

How nutty is the ad? At one point, a little boy "hauntingly laments" while eating a hot dog: "I was dumbfounded when the doctor told me I have late-stage colon cancer."

WTF.

I'm sympathetic to most campaigns by veggieheads and animal rights activists, even gross/creepy ads, but this unprovoked attack on the hot dog cannot stand! Grab your wiener and wave it proudly in the air!!!
