I’d shout, hoooray!
In response to this: U.S. anti-gay group launches boycott of Ford
I post this:
ROD
Aah, an afternoon alone with
My favorite book, “Broadway
Musicals of the 1940s.”
No roommate to bother me.

Me on the subway this morning.

And I think… he was coming on to me.

All defensive about it, Rod…ROD

(and yes, the boa is particularly appropriate here. *grin* This is from Avenue Q, a broadway play starring puppets.)
I seriously love Avenue Q. The internet is for PORN!
I adore that soundtrack. :)
On a somewhat related note, they played the Family Guy episode with the “Homocide: Life on Sesame Street” satire:
Announcer: this show contains adult content and is brought to you by the letter H.
Bert: Ah, hello? Son of a bitch, I’m on my way. Some poor bastard got his head blow off down by a place called Hoopers.
Ernie: Bert, I wish you wouldn’t drink so much Burt.
Bert: Well Ernie, I wish you wouldn’t eat cookies in the damn bed!
Ernie: Bert, you’re shouting again Bert.
I swear, there is no good resolution there that doesn’t hurt the company in some way. I’m glad, at least, that Ford is sticking to it’s guns and not pulling the ads. I’d rather have a bunch of openminded intelligent people as my target audience rather than a mob of angry stupid stupids. gah!
(can you tell where I work yet?)
*grin* indeed. Smart people make more money.
And are really just easier to deal with. Things like “Logic” (*gasp*) and “Reason” (*double gasp*) really seem to make more sense to them. :)
I didn’t notice this before
At the end of the article, it had a mention of how they planned to pull ads from gay-tagetted magazines until they changed their mind because of a boycott from gay rights groups?!
What the heck is that!
If I want to pull my advertisements, I pull ’em. Don’t need a reason. That just weird.
Though, if I want to advertise, I advertise. I don’t need to worry about some group saying, “Don’t advertise in that magazine, that magazine offends me.” It’s an advertisement. Pure and simple. I advertise where it gets me money.
And that includes advertising in publications that I may find personally objectionable. Like GAMES Magazine and Cat Fancy. Ewwww! Whatever brings me sales.
Darn people.
