(Not that there's anything wrong with fire and brimstone moving at thousands of feet per second while you're on the move.)But I digress. Can you Euro folks help me out here? Is this a credible assault on freedom of speech, or just a two-bit political stunt? It seems to me that if they can make the ad people curtail "sexist" material, Jesus, what's next? Books? Magazines?This crap stinks to high heaven. I have nothing but malediction for the dill-weeds who authored this "legislation." May the shitweasles eat thier balls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, no nekkid wimmin, okay, that's feasible. Then, no pretty wimmin. Weeell...eye of the beholder'n'all that, I just don't think you can legislate 'sex' out of the public domain. Not sure I think it's VITAL either, as long as we can amuse ourselves with images of death and destruction. It's really odd when you think of it;Hot wimmin = BAD!Hot lead tearing people apart = still bad, but not THAT bad.Humans, pfffff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wahrborg Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Thats just a un-shaved feminist extreme-left commie biatch who wasent voted in by anyone to anything, and that because she looks like shes been on fire and put out with a bicyckle made it her life mission to screw things up for everyone with better looks then her (about 6 bil ppl btw) , and who should thank god that we dont just negotiate unhealthily stupid ppl with battle axe's like in the good ole' days around here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TankHunter Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 In my opinion the only purpose that commercials with attractive women in them have is not to sell items but to provide some good wanking material. Without those gorgeous woman then there is no reason to pay any attention at all to these adverts. It is also my opinion that without this reason to watch adverts people will just TiVo these various TV shows and skip through the adverts completely, thus making a useless profession even more useless. As a result millions more people will be out of work (why pay for something to be made that no one will watch?) and make free TV stations go bankrupt, thus causing massive global instability (without free TV, people may start to actually think and engage in rebellions!). This is just part of the grand feminist conspiracy to rule the world. I'll crawl back to my hole now...But to be serious, what is it that these idiots think they are doing? I guess that equality and freedom dont exactly mix well... Oh, Nick, good one. How are you doing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MajorMagee Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Some years ago I noticed that advertising for women's oriented media was almost exclusively filled with great looking women, rather than ones looking more like their audience. That was a revelation. It's not that they're trying to appeal to men's animal instincts by using super models, they just know that everyone responds better to beauty, than the plain, or ugly. The correlary is that unpleasent looking people have only one way to get noticed, become a royal pain in the butt for the rest of us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 Now, don't get me wrong, I consider myself a feminist--I have nothing but awe and admiration for the female of our species. I don't think a woman's place is in the house; it's where ever she damn well wants to be. Women make up more than 50 percent of the population, and it's a testiment to the lofty heights of human stupidity that they aren't proportionately represented in the leadership of our civilization. That said, any tyranny that would deny me the right to look at lucious, wet tits in a beer ad on the back of my "Algorithms Monthly" magazine deserves nothing less than me surrenduring my guns--bullets first, at speed in the swines' general direction.Thank Goddess I live in America--while it lasts. (I'll start another thread about the North American Union someday; I'm too busy drinking beer and looking at porn right now...):gun::1: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
