Don't mess with Texas... conservatism!
In Houston, Comcast Cable has pulled the 30-second spots sponsored by PETA that showcase a nude Alicia Silverstone espousing the virtues of vegetarianism.
Which, apparently, include not wearing clothes.
In the commercial, the actress steps out of a swimming pool, shows off her naked body... and shares the benefits of a vegetarian lifestyle.
Seems like a cheap way for PETA to spread its often over-the-top message, but The Hollywood Gossip staff is always against censorship. Unless we're talking about Britney Spears crotch shots. Her children could be reading this.
Anyway. A spokesperson for the cable company cited nudity in their decision to cancel the campaign, though the clips had already been paid for.
But, don't worry, Houston residents: you can still see the ads at PETA.org, says PETA president Ingrid Newkirk.
"[Viewers can] get an eyeful, not only of the stunning Ms. Silverstone, but also of our free Vegetarian Starter Kit â" chock full of delicious recipes â" that will make them drool for an entirely different reason," she said.

If this works in getting there point across then great more power to them.
