first, i thought this was a satirical onion piece. i'm afraid not. LAT, have you no shame? have you no taste? you really find this shit progressive?
Breast cancer ads use lechery for good
SOME GEMS:
"The latest and greatest is a spot called "Save the Boobs," from the Rethink Breast Cancer charity, in which a voluptuous young woman in a white bikini walks into a pool party scene. Strip-club music kicks in and the camera slow-mo's her fleshy assets while the partygoers attempt to pick their jaws up off the ground."
"Over a montage of women cupping their hands over and under their right breasts, we hear their voices reciting, "I pledge allegiance to my girls, to my chi-chis, to my hooters, to my ta-tas, to my gazongas. . . ."
the IWF is running an anti-health care reform commercial (on the hallmark channel -- don't ask) - which features a "breast cancer survivor" (wearing a pink shirt) talking about how she would have DIED under government-run health care. she also attempts to terrify the viewer by employing hyperbolic tactics, such as "if you find a lump, you might have to wait MONTHS for treatment".
i threw up in my mouth just a little bit, but now i think i need to destroy something.
this is the same IWF that referred to VAWA as "feminist pork".
