It's nice when we can talk with each other, and to each other, instead of past each other

(this is inspired by the at least three, now, ThanksGiving PETA threads, where somehow this little detail got missed by some, including me)

"The ads incorporate lenticular technology, so that people 4-feet, 3-inches and shorter will see an image different from the mother carving a cooked turkey in front of two children. Shorter viewers will see the scene with the two children spattered with blood and horrified as the mother cuts into a live bird."

That's way different than having the pictures "on top of each other", which is how I, and apparently many others, read it, because that's how it was written .

It's a pretty big difference.

1. An example of lenticular printing:

Poster for Species II. The image changes depending upon the angle from which it is viewed.

4. Exactly. Posting that gif instead of them side-to-side or one on top is a HUGE difference.

I still stand by what I wrote about meat eaters knowing where their dinner came from as being a good thing.

3. This is pretty effed up IMHO

5. So messed up.

Wasn't this technology to be used to find missing children? Weren't they going to try posting phone numbers for help that were only visible at the child's eye level, and regular advertising at the parents'. It's really messed up to think that something that is supposed to be a beacon of safety for lost and abused children is being used to terrify them.

6. There was an ad to fight child abuse awhile back

that used the same tech:

The turkey ad is still pretty fucked up. PETA needs new PR people.
