Now this is a guess - and maybe someone knows, but I'm going to say - I bet most times when there has been a denial by an advertiser or network, it was for support of a conservative or moral position? I could be way off base......

Maybe partly that, but mostly it's all about the $$$$'s.

After all, if there is concern of offending a significant portion of the population, that could mean loss of advertising dollars down the road. Whichever choice leads to the most amount of $$$'s. I'm tellin' ya that's how it works these days! Smile

Nope I don't think you are to far off base on that one.

If you aren't an American, okay, understandable. And if you are an American, your attitude is very bothersome.

I'm not an American, but I do have a concern over who wins the next election. Being America's next door neighbour so much of what happens down there affects us. I'd like to see Bush go. It will be interesting to see what happens this November.

I don't vote so I have no right to complain either way. If the president is bad or if he is good there is no right for me to have an opinion. I don't vote because I don't want to. What I see is two choices. Both are poison one is just less so than the other. And so I don't give my support for either.

I support the two party system.

One party a week is not enough!

Hey BM, not to be too picky, but shouldn't that be "You're stupid..."?

BlueMonkey: I can't believe you don't vote!!! What if everyone in the nation took that stance? There would be no reason for your country to have democracy. Whether you feel there is no one to vote for or not, you should still EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT to vote.

Voting for a candidate is only half of it. Have the freedom to vote is the other half.

There is no argument you could possibly give that is good enough to explain why you don't vote.

Oh, and your reasoning that you don't want to support either candidate? Well it isn't all about supporting the candidate. It's about using your right to vote. Surely there are the lunatic fringe candidates on the ballot. Why not, at least, put in a vote for them?

Bush is a fringe candidate. He's a liberal masquerading as a Republican.

Caprice, I'm not sure that because you have a right to vote, that automatically means that everyone should vote. It's a right. That doesn't mean your obligated to do it.

Bush is a liberal? I guess it's a good thing he's got Cheney and Norquist to keep him in line...

kickycan: Your obligation comes with the fact you HAVE the right. It's one way to express your gratitude for being fortunate enough to live in a country where you can vote for the leader. What of other nations who have no such rights and liberties?

LOL yes. Good point. Thank you.

caprice,

I understand your opinion and it makes sense. But I exercise my right not to vote. I should not have to do something that is an option in the first place.

Oh my god, I agree with BlueMonkey! NO!!!

There is a first time for everything. As the line goes.

An option? Must be nice to think of it in such frivolous terms. Did you ever stop to think that half the reason there are such fools in power is that so few people go out and vote?

If your reasoning is the lack of competent candidates, vote for one of the fringe parties on the ballot. Have you EVER voted? Not that I need to know the answer because I don't. It was more of a rhetorical question.

It depends on your definition of "fools".

Stop avoiding the topic at hand. Wink

Mark Morford nails it:

Quote:

This is the message: A woman's bare breast is a horrific and disturbing thing, completely inappropriate for an afternoon of wholesome macho homoerotic skull-bashing NFL violence and endless hours of nauseating commercial crassness -- unless the woman is, you know, a cheerleader. Now rush off to bed kids, and read your Bibles while Mommy and Daddy pop some Zoloft and Levitra and crack a few Bud Lights and head off to the fetish dungeon to lick our new Ford GT.

Yes, a woman's flesh is unspeakable evil. However, umpteen erectile-dysfunction commercials and flatulence-exploding crotch-biting pisswater Bud Light commercials and toxic-junk-food commercials and faux-macho truck commercials and the ad featuring two old people beating each other up over a bag of greasy potato chips, why, that's just tasteful, healthy capitalism.
