When most corporations put a ‘pig’ in their TV ad — it’s to convince you to eat animals — or more specifically, their particular brand of artery-clogging bacon-laden fast food. Vodafone New Zealand did the complete opposite. This just might be our favorite commercial ever.

    The symbolism in the video is great. It made me think on a deeper level and put a smile on my face. In fact, everything about rescuing and protecting animals which are positive does that to me. :3

    The ad is cute because she looks at the dude when they reach the free range pork farm and you think to yourself, awwww nooooo don’t send her back there…

    Love the Vodafone ad, but it’s not the original. It was originally done by Vodafone Ireland in the first place. 🙂

    Thanks for sharing about “Spare rib” . Spare rib was an active part of the emerging Women’s Liberation Movement in the late 20th century. I love this article.

    MarK Ruffalo keeps on impressing the hell out of me! He’s a good guy to bring some history to the defense of feminism. but feminism shouldn’t really need any defense. The only reason it does is because so few people know anything about it.

    I was already a fan of Mark Ruffalo but this seals the deal. I’ve seen examples of his activism in the past and respected him greatly for it, but this seals the deal for me – terrific words, and thanks for posting this. 🙂
