A co-worker sent me a couple of websites that had me shuddering. A couple of those let's get pissed off and protect the children types. Essentially, they find something to get enraged about, then get their little clan together and flood their target with emails until they do as they say. This is for the children, you understand. Not some self-centered attack based on their own small-minded opinions. For the children. The same children who are sitting there watching TV while Mom is launching crusades. Gee, heard of turning the TV off? Taking the kids to a playground or a pool? Heck no, we'll attack advertisers for 'supporting' Desperate Housewives. Uh, duh, that's not how advertising works. You only 'support' a show if you sponsor it, i.e "Sponsored by Kraft Foods". Otherwise, you are buying advert time when a lot of people are watching TV. Just cashing in on a time slot, dearies. Methinks they tried to get DH off the air and were told collectively to cram it. Now, I personally think the writer of DH needs to be taken somewhere and slapped, because it's definately the stupidest show on the face of the earth, after reality television. But crap isn't illegal. It's called the first amendment, ya'all. You don't like it, turn it off. That's what parental blocks are for. People have a right to produce crap. If it gets popular, people have a right to cash in on it and sell their stuff. Take some fricking responsibility for your children. YOURS. Get off the damned Internet crusade and go play with your kids. If they're raised right, they will make the right decisions. Killing off all the Tyson ads in the world won't help your kids if you're sitting on your fanny sending emails rather than talking to them. I know from whence I speak, too. I got caught up in Internet crap and neglected my family. Now I have to watch my ass. Talk to your damned kids. Teach them life lesssons. You know, like telling them that all people are equal, regardless of color or race, or sexual preference. Oh, wait, you can't do that, because we must protect the children from the gay folks. Let's start with Allstate for supporting gay organizations. No, they're not doing anything else wrong, just supporting gay organizations. Or Kraft for supporting gays. That's a good one. Some sweet-looking male behinds on that post. http://www.afa.net/activism/gaygamesproof.html Those pictures are just to show you how very appalling it is, of course. Because a good mother could never appreciate a fine male butt. Of course not. Never. Ladies, for the last time...if you want to protect the kids, leave the damned first amendment be. Get off your high horse--and your computer--and take care of them. That's your responsibility as a parent. Not trashing everyone else's rights. You may want to go read 1984. If you haven't burned it already.
