Taco Bell flashing commercial gives one million prudes the vapors.

Okay did you watch that and laugh?

Did you think it was cute?

Did you perhaps think "Boy I sure hope I'm that feisty when I'm that age?"

Well if you did then clearly you are immoral heathens. Because Monica Cole of One Million Moms was horrified, horrified I say, at this vulgar advertisement.

From the OMM website: 

Taco Bell is following a trend in crude commercials. While a few fast food restaurants are cleaning up their ads, Taco Bell decided to air a new ad named "Flash" to advertise Chickstars. 

The ad shows an elderly couple eating Chickstars in their car when the woman lifts up her shirt, implying she is showing her bare chest to the man. Showing a female flashing a man during a television commercial is completely inappropriate. This act has nothing to do with the food product. 

Even if the couple is supposed to be married, this ad is in poor taste. It would be something children would duplicate. Everyone knows children repeat what they see. This disgusting advertisement is airing during primetime when children are likely watching.

You know I used to pity this group back when they were going after Ellen Degeneres because they simply seem to high strung to successfully navigate through middle age without their hearts exploding.

But now I've change my mind. Now I pity their spouses.

Could you even imagine having to live with a woman who takes offense at virtually EVERYTHING?

"The pornography of Anne Frank." Wait, what?

Courtesy of Christian Post:  

The Anne Frank Diary is 'pornographic' according to one mother who has lodged a formal complaint over the book being used in school to educate her own child. 

Mom, Gail Horalek, has filed a formal complaint against her daughter's school district over its use of the Anne Frank Diary, saying that many of the passages contained in the book are far too graphic for seventh graders like her daughter. 

The mother highlights one part of the book in which Frank discusses discovering her genitalia, and Horalek has said it is akin to pornography, and is completely inappropriate for her child and her schoolmates. 

She has complained that Meads Mill Middle School should have asked parents to sign a permission slip before they assigned the book to the children to read, due to the content. 

She has said, "The problem is the school is giving the seventh graders inappropriate material and not explaining it to the parents," according to the Northville Patch. 

Horalek has explained that the school has sent permission slips home for parents to sign when they have looked to use various other books and films that may contain strong material that some could deem "inappropriate." 

Apparently the part of the book that has so offended this lunatic is this portion:  

“What’s even funnier is that I thought urine came out of the clitoris … When you’re standing up, all you see from the front is hair. Between your legs there are two soft, cushiony things, also covered with hair, which press together when you’re standing, so you can’t see what’s inside. They separate when you sit down and they’re very red and quite fleshy on the inside.”

Okay look I think I know a little something about pornography, after all I am immoral, but if reading about the terrible fate of this young woman gets your juices going, you may have MUCH more to worry about than appropriate reading materials.

This is simply an honest description of a young woman writing about discovering her body parts. and in no way does it come off as salacious or prurient. At least no in my world.

This mother is obviously deeply disturbed and it makes me wonder how she handles all of those Donald Duck cartoons where the foul fowl is constantly running around without any pants on?

Here is the part that REALLY get me:

Horalek has now demanded that the book be removed from the curriculum: "It doesn't mean my child is sheltered, it doesn't mean I live in a bubble and it doesn't mean I'm trying to ban books." 

Yes, yes it does! If you are demanding that a book be removed from a library, then you are by DEFINITION banning books!

You know if this idiot would spend more time on her reading comprehension, instead of focusing all of her attention on combing books for the mention of genitalia, she MIGHT have been able to figure that out for herself.

GOP Chairwoman warns that straight couples will get gay married if legislation passes. WTF?

Don't I appear relatively sane to you?

Courtesy of TPM:

Sue Everhart, chairwoman of the Georgia Republican Party, told the Marietta Daily Journal in a story published Saturday that once gay nuptials are legally permitted, there will be nothing to stop a straight person from exploiting the system in order to claim marital benefits. 

“You may be as straight as an arrow, and you may have a friend that is as straight as an arrow,” Everhart said. “Say you had a great job with the government where you had this wonderful health plan. I mean, what would prohibit you from saying that you’re gay, and y’all get married and still live as separate, but you get all the benefits? I just see so much abuse in this it’s unreal. I believe a husband and a wife should be a man and a woman, the benefits should be for a man and a woman. There is no way that this is about equality. To me, it’s all about a free ride.” 

Everhart also expressed a distaste for homosexuality, which she argued is unnatural. 

“Lord, I’m going to get in trouble over this, but it is not natural for two women or two men to be married,” Everhart said. “If it was natural, they would have the equipment to have a sexual relationship.”

Wait a minute. Wasn't this the plot to an Adam Sandler movie?

Yes, yes it was.

I put off posting this yesterday because I was convinced that it must be an April Fool's joke. But nope, this actually how crazy the Republican leaderhsip is in Georgia.

By the way on that whole not having the equipment for a sexual relationship? Yeah, pretty sure this woman does not have a clear understanding of gay sex. Nor the advancements that science has made in the field of sexual accoutrements.
