I've got very close friends that fall into the same trap - when they go into snark/attack mode, they fall back on tired gendered stereotypes and confuse that with wit. These posters might be made by people who are generally progressives, but they illustrate the regressive attitudes about women still rampant in our society.habladorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01730183259272125337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5961006065192244756.post-4633179654210285992008-10-24T20:50:00.000-04:002008-10-24T20:50:00.000-04:00I agree with John that the first poster doesn't wo...I agree with John that the first poster doesn't work. I didn't get it at first, didn't understand why you were offended by it until you explained it, and the Sarah Palin mention had no connection. If it had said "Yes We Can", using Obama's phrase, then it would have worked better.MediaMavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12548519999729515206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5961006065192244756.post-8965389260175785142008-10-24T12:15:00.000-04:002008-10-24T12:15:00.000-04:00that truththroughaction.org one looks like every o...that truththroughaction.org one looks like every other myspace ad these days. I doubt I'd have even noticed it amid the sea of "are you hot? find people here" ads. I gotta say, though, I chuckled at the "Bush we can't trust" joke. They've been making jokes to that effect for years, in one variety or another.<BR/><BR/>I'd also think they could come up with a better swipe than that draft one, especially since the wordplay doesn't work as well. Unless you know the original poster (and I didn't,) you won't get the humor in it. Also, mentioning Sarah Palin at the end seemed superfluous. Save that for an anti-Palin poster.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569180426066178711noreply@blogger.com
