Well, the NOW Gang's at it again (National Organization for Women, in case you're wondering)...deriding the Tim Tebow Superbowl ad as something that promotes violence against women. I guess they couldn't come up with anything better than that on short notice. Perhaps they'd like to rethink this one? Especially in light of the Snickers Superbowl ad with Betty White.
Here's the Tim Tebow ad...
According to the LA Times on 2/8/10: "NOW president Terry O'Neill said it glorified violence against women. 'I am blown away at the celebration of the violence against women in it,' she said. 'That's what comes across to me even more strongly than the anti-abortion message. I myself am a survivor of domestic violence, and I don't find it charming. I think CBS should be ashamed of itself.'"
Huh...strange, but I don't remember a similar press release from the president of NOW about the Snickers Superbowl ad...here it is...
Weird...it looks almost the same...I guess I'm missing something. Perhaps NOW is enlightened about the situational ethics of violence against women that I--as an insensitive, hateful, terroristic, right-winger--could never hope to understand. Or...maybe they're just plain WRONG!
Nice try NOW Gang...but next time, try using something that's not so predictable and easy to debunk...
NEXT!

Training Wheels for Adults...
Interesting story in the NY Times on Thursday entitled "Cuomo Sues Bank of America, Even as It Settles With S.E.C." Here's the link... http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/05/business/05cuomo.html
So let me get this straight...NY Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is suing Bank of America for the effect that their acquisition of Merrill Lynch had on BofA stock prices as well as BofA’s silence about the deal—this is after BofA had decided they didn't want to acquire Merrill based on what they saw in Merrill’s books but were told BY HANK PAULSEN “acquire Merrill…or ELSE (AND keep your mouth shut about it).”
Not only that, Cuomo is suing them under the Martin Act which means that he doesn’t even have to prove that BofA had any intent to defraud their customers (basically, Cuomo doesn’t have the chops, so he sues ‘em under a statute that says he doesn’t have to DO HIS JOB and prove malfeasance on their part)—not that he could prove it anyhow.
So, Paulsen told BofA to acquire Merrill (which they didn’t want to do) and to shut up about it, BofA begrudgingly does what Paulsen tells ‘em to, and now Cuomo’s suing ‘em for doing what Paulsen told ‘em to do. Shouldn’t Cuomo be suing Paulsen? Of course not, doing that won’t get him in the NY governor’s chair he’s so desperate to get into…Mr. Cuomo is nothing but a transparent, vacuous, political hack. Sorry Mr. Cuomo, the AG post doesn't come with training wheels...you're supposed to be able to put on your big boy pants and do the job all by yourself. Next time, perhaps you should concentrate on someone who wasn't doing what the government told 'em to do...
