Not that I am condoning his actions, just saying PETA will ALWAYS tell you what you want to hear in these cases.
I've been a vegetarian for the past 15 years, and I've been involved in the animal rights movement.

Bringing PETA in to stir things around in a politically endangered industry is contemptuous of both what PETA tries to do, and of porn, the hand that feeds you. One of the few political angles porn has going for it is that sex is itself violence neutral, perhaps even violence inhibiting.

I mean sure, it's funny. But it's not a funny enough prank to be worth it.

One of the more detestable things about people who are self-righteous is that they're generally cowards of convenience and proximity- they never actually do anything difficult or go very far out of their way to create justice. They are more likely to spend enormous repetitive energy berating their spouse to vote a certain way than they are to speak in front of a crowd of 100 receptive people who've never heard the issues.
