We’ve already talked a bit about…interesting reactions to a cheeky vodka ad campaign, but if you thought that was the only advertising campaign to get people upset, then, well, I suppose you’ve lived a very sheltered life up until now.

Because Absolut is also running this campaign, primarily in gay newspapers and magazines:

“Aha,” you say, “It’s a joke about penis size. Clearly people are offended at such a cheap and easy gag appearing in their magazines!”

Well, no.

Perhaps they are exploring a new niche market for their product – promoting it as a disinfectant after having gay sex….

These fools are determined to make sure that I won’t buy any of their products. First the Mexican map now supporting queers.

Is anyone really surprised about this? After all, my guess is that you need to imbibe a lot of vodka before doing what the pillow-biters normally do…

To me, these ads are more or less as offensive to me as if Absolut ran ads advocating child sexual abuse or extoling the vitrues of the Third Reich.

WHAT ON EARTH HAS HAPPENED TO MY CULTURE?

Hey, it wouldn’t be the internet without a completely inappropriate Nazi reference…

I’ve gave up Gray Goose when the Frenchies “stabbed us in the back” about the war in Iraq…my father who was “over there” in WWI must have rolled over in his grave…
guess the Frenchies have a short memory…
especially since we “pulled their bacon out of the fire” TWICE!

“Interesting” punctuation “aside,” I wonder what “Gray Goose” or the “French” have to do with “this.”

Can you imagine Jack Daniels or Old Grand Dad ever advertising itself as “the preferred whiskey for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered consumers”? Neither can I.

Will Absolut’s advocacy stop at Aztlan and the homo agenda? Doubt it. Expect a map of the Mideast excluding Israel next. …and perhaps a map of a U.S. with a submerged coastline (due to ice cap melting from global warming)

I don’t even like Vodka, and suddenly I want a big glass of it…



The Advocate recently ran a piece about Thomas Beatie, a female-to-male transsexual in Oregon who became pregnant. It’s a fascinating story that calls into question our assumptions about gender, gender identity and the evolving nature of the family in the twenty-first century.

Er, unless you’re a Free Republic reader that is:

Please stay calm. Keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times. The ride through Obamaville has just begun.

This is basically an insane woman that had her breasts removed, took testosterone shots and still got pregnant. She is a one woman freak show. And the fact that she did it voluntarily means she is quite literally insane.

what a nauseating freak

Barring some sort of miracle, this child is going to be the biggest serial killer the modern world has ever seen.

I think some social agency needs to step in, and take the child from her, when/if it is born. How can you subject a child to that?

And then, even for the Freepers, the comments take a disturbing turn:

Perhaps this is the end results coming out of the Nazi Germany era.

The doctors/scientist did a lot of experiments in those dark back rooms.

And it wasn’t curing dwarfism as some of their subjects were afflicted with.

I think you got it, Nazi horrors live on 60 years later.

Well, luckily we have some left-leaning blogs to counter-act all that negativity, right?

Er, right?:

…and when will NOT wanting a child be considered normal ?

(Yes, it just wouldn’t be a thread about pregnancy on a lefty blog without someone getting indignant about not wanting children..)

hold that thought, I have to go kill something, I’ll be back

The…hell?

I understand that homosexuality is not a choice, but what bothers me is transgender people who try and claim that what they did to their bodies wasn’t a choice they made, and therefore we shouldn’t judge them by it. Discriminating based on what somebody is is a terrible thing, but discriminating based on choices people make is completely fair territory.

And it’s because of people like you that we can’t get anti-discrimination laws passed…

I’m surprised no one has mentioned mpreg fan fiction yet. Those guys must be getting pretty excited about all of this.

It all comes down to fan-fiction in the end for some people, doesn’t it?
