A suggestion to all those offended by the MSNBC ad, based on DU experience

[JVS]

Maybe if you pretend that there is a baby breastfeeding on it, you won't be offended.

:hide:

1. offended

I am not easily offended, but to have this on your computer looking at you (especially at work)
is kind of sleazy.

[JVS]

2. Ok, I can see that. I don't like looking at a lot of things at work and..

it is tacky

[seabeyond]

3. not to mention with my kid behind me. went as fast to the board

as i could. just is wrong, having this picture and porn for my boys. sorry all youse that think i should be more liberal.

[elehhhhna]

4. Yeah! What's nect? Male-enlargement potion ads? lol

[seabeyond]

7. more than anything i dont want boys learning about that just yet,

wow talk about ego busters at 7, 8, 9 years old to learn you need a drug to be bigger and last longer in order to be appealing to a woman.

hate those even more for my boys. hate what the other stuff does to the young girls more.

5. Yeah! What's nect? Male-enlargement potion ads? lol

6. offended

I dont get easily offended, but to have that on my screen (especially here at work)
is not very good....

[mr blur]

8. Sorry, but I don't get it

You're all adults, surely?
What about the threads saying "So-and-so" is "hot"? The recent one contrasting Democrat women ("hot") and Republicans ("not")? If you can live with that (just as offensive) nonsense then surely you can live with this? Not worth gewtting hot under the collar about, is it?

10. that was in its own thread. choice of going in or not. not on front

page. those of us that have kids are a bit hesitant to leave front page up as we cook dinner. i take it off kids computer, doesnt behoove me to leave it sitting in the kitchen for the boys. hubby walked in today and immediately said soemthing of me visiting porn site, firstly

secondly that isnt the argument. nor is the picture. the argument is that our media and corporations inevitably are using this and throwing out into mainstream under the guise of news, but really it is to sell their show or their product. as the same right wing lecture me on morality and family value. yet they feed this shit to my kids on a regular basis.

so.... you are right we are adults. not a big deal. it was one thread talking about msnbc selling ad time to this site and of course they had to use the image of a naked woman and porn....

not about porn

9. IT Reminds Me Of 8th Ave, & Times Square, 10 Years Ago

Didn't like having it flashed in my face there and don't like seeing it here.
