Dancing Butchers Boogie Into Trouble With Sacred Cow

New Zealand Beef and Lamb bought and ran a commercial from Meat and Livestock Australia featuring butchers dancing and singing down a crowded street in a style familiar to many urbanites. Hare Krishnas were not amused. The Hare Krishnas complained. The commercial was pulled.

When the spot aired in Australia last year, it drew complaints from Hare Krishnas, Hindus, vegetarians and meat-eaters. In that case, the commercial wasn't pulled.

See the "Red meat. Feel good." dancing butchers spot here and judge for yourself.
