the swearing shrimp made me smile, but the 'beef of the sea' was brilliant in it's elegant simplicity.

the beef of the sea one is rubbish, how can they try and justify killing whales by saying 'well, it's slightly better than killing cows, of which there are fucking 100's"the shrimp one got my vote. perhaps slightly drawn out, but definitely lulz-worthy

When in doubt, seek refuge in moral ambiguity. The logic is unfaultable, but that doesn't make it right.

i feel the way the shrimp one actually points out the fact the ones they use specifically arn't endangered is important, rather than trying to appeal to teary eyed tree huggers, but i'll admit, i'm probably in the minority there, so as an effective advertisement the sea beef one is probably better

You do have a point about the shrimp's endangered message, but the other's message that there is not only no difference between eating beef or whale, but that you are morally obliged to eat whale because it results in less overall deaths in the cosmos is quite effective.
