WTF Wednesday

In which I shake my head at the sad, pathetic things that people do and say:

We refer the Board to the following link – http://logansrogue.livejournal.com/1327524.html – which will corroborate our client’s allegation that their advertisement has been the subject of discontent for the feminist bloggers on the said site. We are sure the Board will note that the bloggers on this site do not represent the majority of society who are reasonably minded and less sensitive to an advertisement with a tongue in cheek approach.

This from a complaint regarding an ad banned in Australia for be wholly inappropriate.

Oh, those feminists and their unreasonable demands that women be respected! Any reasonable person man can easily see the relationship between almost naked women swimming in cream (oh the originality!) and purchasing a domain name, right?

I would laugh at this if I didn’t believe that a lot of people men will think that’s a good point.

Many, many many of our great grandmothers were raped in slavery. But surely a few of em were loved and surely some…

…Some were cunning and brilliant enough to use their bodies to gain liberation thus fooling massa.

Of course most were raped, we know that, but some were sharp enough to trade that good-good for status or liberation.

They are absolutely not “hos.” They’re sexually heroic. They’re self-liberating by any means necessary.

Tweets by ToureX. I’m at a rare loss for words on this one. How that thought could even enter anyone’s mind is beyond me. Like Renee, however, I’m wondering why more people aren’t crying foul on this one. (MSNBC President Phil Griffin at 212-664-4444, EMAIL: viewerservices@msnbc.com. *hint, hint*)
