1. That ad has been popping up for months.
There are dozens of complaint threads about it, and one is sizzling now.

But, this being DU, we now have another.

2. Exactly
I can't believe that's anywhere on DU. It's offensive on so many, many levels.

4. There were two
complaint threads last night. When ads like that pop up, we should inform the moderators.

8. Doesn't DU get paid for these ads "per click"? Regardless of purchase?
If so, I say "CLICK AWAY!"

I am FAR from a HC supporter, but this ad doesnt belong here. This applies to some of the other ads i've seen here too. If these ads DO pay "per click", they need to be taught to refine their scripts to "focus" their message.

10. I may buy one for my freeper co-worker if she wins. This would surely put him over the edge.

13. Just think of this ...
You can use this to pinch off the head of your "Flight Suit" Bush doll.

I saw this posted by another DUer a while back.

Personally, If she becomes president, I am buying a case of them for my relatives.

Cheers

15. I think it's pretty vile.
It's a sad day when people still think it's "funny" to say a successful woman is emasculating to the men around her.

There's nothing funny about it. But it says loads about the people who say it is.

18. The first "defense" against an accusation of sexism
Edited on Tue Oct-09-07 10:06 AM by Fierce
is always "geez, can't you take a joke?"

And I'll be darned if that isn't the first "disclaimer" on this thing!

I can't decide if I'm more annoyed by the sexism or the fact that it's made in China, myself. It's bad all the way around.

ETA: And that's a big ol' assumption from me that it's made in China. But somehow I don't think I'm that far off.

19. Yes, some people believe anything goes as long as you attach humour to it.

21. She'll crack the nuts of all the republican men out there.
They're running scared of Hillary.
