The annual animal cruelty debate has started up again, right on time. While PETA spends the rest of the year convincing celebrities to disrobe in its "Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign, Thanksgiving is when the organization kicks it into high gear...because surviving our disapproving relatives depends on meals built around slaughtered turkeys, and PETA enjoys making us feel bad about it. In fact, last January, PETA made the ad above (a little NSFW). While this particular ad didn't make people feel bad for eating meat, it made NBC executives feel a whole lot of something else they didn't think families watching the Super Bowl would appreciate, and it didn't air.

So it's surprising that NBC would give PETA another chance by asking it to make a commercial to air during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. PETA submitted one, but the network asked it be more informative on the subjects of factory farming and turkey slaughter. So naturally, the pendulum swung and PETA came up with the spot after the jump.

Behold the new and improved "Office" opening credits, which debuted at the beginning of Sunday's post-Superbowl episode.

They needed an update. Now we get ample shots of the supporting cast who have blossomed over the years. Plus Jim and Pam kiss.

But where is the fresh Scranton footage? Those few shots that open the show were taken by John Krasinski on a research trip to PA in 2004. Since then, the city has really come into its own on the show, much like the actors playing Creed, Kelly, Stanley, Meredith, Oscar and Phyllis.

So how about some tasty new Scranton shots to reflect this? The Steamtown Mall maybe, or a nice view of the Anthracite Museum? Come on, Hollywood. This is the Keystone State's time to shine - let's not blow this.

Conan's "Swedish" Bud Light Superbowl ad last night was funny, but can it compete with the real thing? Judge for yourself by watching some of the weirder foreign celebrity endorsements (most from Japan, naturally):

Kiefer Sutherland for Calorie Mate (Japan) - A brilliant distillation of "24:" Jack Bauer endlessly screaming into a headset.

Brad Pitt for Roots Coffee (Japan)

Nicolas Cage for Sankyo Pachinko (Japan) - Some of his best acting in a while, actually...

Meg Ryan for Navi Navi Dingo GPS (Japan) - More than a decade ago, Ryan encountered a UFO. The aliens subsequently abducted her and implanted egg sacs in her lips.

Snoop Dogg for VybeMobile cell phones (Germany)

Arnold Schwarzenegger for Alinamin V energy drink (Japan)

Harrison Ford for Kirin beer (Japan)
