God I hate conservatives. mad (And other stuff I agree with)


I was just thinking how great it would be if the conservatives would do like the Amish and keep their ideals to themselves, go live off in a self sustainable community by themselves. Rather than ruin it for the rest of us.

The real reason they pulled the ad is because some men are pigs whether or not they have condoms on their person. They just didn't want to admit it.

i can see how the ad could be construed as offensive. it gives the impression that the women are disinterested in the pigmen solely because the pigmen don't have condoms, thus sort of implying that single women who go to bars are skanks who are only interested in fucking the first dick to cross their path, just so long as that dick comes with a condom. it also seems to state that the only criteria for labeling a man as a "pig" is whether or not he practices safe sex.

I think the thing that gets to them to most is that it portrays women who might have premarital sex as attractive, normal, sophisticated, in-control types of people...not the fucked-up, nutty, self-hating Jezabels they want them to be. The idea of sex as a part of a healthy night of fun or even a relationship makes them angry!

I think that's a hell of a stretch, personally. Also, nothing in that interpretation relates to any of the reasons given by FOX and CBS for why they won't run it.

What Fox is not realizing is that Trojan did it's homework, and this campaign has as much to do with sexual health as it does preventing pregnancy. The metaphor Fox could not grasp was that for many centuries pigs have been used to smell out truffles, proving they have one spectacular sense of smell. What is going on in the bar is obvious, so I drew a diagram to explain it. Fox is missing out on an important piece of health advertising.
