Hot Sluts Of The Day!
The South Florida Raging Grannies - I've been a strong supporter of the "Memaws Are Not The One" Movement (mostly because I'll get hit in the teefs with a switch if I don't), and I've never heard of the Raging Grannies before. They are an organization that was started in Canada in 1987 by a bunch of grannies who weren't going to sit around nibbling at their caramel squares while waving their canes at the TV. They got up out of their plastic-covered Laz-Y-Boys and banded together to rage about all sorts of issues near and dear to their pacemakers.
Above is the South Florida chapter raging against CBS for accepting Tim Tebow's pro-life Super Bowl ad. The potpourri of eyebrows! The hats! The Comic Sans font! The choreography! The paper taped to the analog TV! It all works for me.

Raging Grannies for Hot Sluts of the Month!!
Tim Tebow can take his self-righteous holier-than-thou-I'm-better-than-you-because-I'm-a-Jesus-boy crap and shove it up his smug, crying ass. Abortion is a deeply personal decision that is never made lightly. Most women who have one consider all aspects of a baby's life - like what will happen after birth - before having one. I don't see these right-to-lifers jumping to adopt unwanted babies of color. Until that happens, I contend they are misguided, uninformed hypocrites.
There, I feel better now.
Is anybody else having trouble understanding all the lyrics? They won't air ads for what?

Well said,angel_i...I too think most people are well meaning. And while I don't agree that this commercial should be on during the Super Bowl,if it must be on, a similar ad coming from women who are advocates of abortion would be appropriate to add as well, for balance. I would actually like to just watch the game, and laugh at FUNNY commercials, and skip this stuff!

Dusted,I absolutely don't think anyone who has an abortion needs to apologize or grovel (although I think women who use it repeatedly as a means of birth control are a disgrace)...but imo it trivializes abortion to wear a tee shirt about it...it is a sobering decision, and there is no way to get around the fact that by having an abortion, a fledgling life is ended. I despise people who hold up gruesome signs outside of abortion clinics, and I also think it's horibly wrong for anyone to make other womens' decisions for them...my friend has made a fragile peace with herself about her abortion, and she doesn't need anyone calling her a murderer or a monster...she did what she had to do (and I supported her)...but she has even said that women should think long and hard about their decision...there's a middle ground imo between an anti-abortion, never ever even if you die giving birth zealot, and the, anything goes no big deal it's just a clump of cells, attitude...I want my daughters to be able to have all options open for them some day when they are adults, which is why I do support abortion...
I've gone on long enough about this, I agree with But.Seriously.Folks, we all have differing opinions and I don't demonize anyone for disagreeing with me...I hate polorization and I enjoy hearing others' opinions...

That campaign was not about "skewing towards abortion". That campaign was about women not being ashamed of the choices they made. Women who get abortions are treated like they need to apologize for what they've done and that really plays into the moralizing anti-choice movement rhetoric. Well fuck that. I'm glad that those women did what they felt was right and they have no obligation to answer to anyone but themselves for their decision.

A choice is just that, a choice...it goes both ways...was it PP or Naral that used that stupid campaign that had women wearing tee shirts that stated, "I had an abortion"? Sorry, if that's not skewing towards abortion, then I don't know what is. It's an individual choice, and I am all for organizations presenting ALL options to women. Abortion should never be celebrated though, or trivialized...one of my best friends had an abortion after getting pregnant upon losing her virginity. Tough time for her as her father had just died and her mom was a wreck. She feels it was the best decision for her, but it changed her life profoundly. Another acquaintence changed her mind about aborting on the advice of my aunt...she gave birth and put the baby up for adoption, and was very happy with the choice she made (while acknowledging that her time pregnant was not easy)...present all options and chose what's best, but I don't think abortion should ever be the default choice, or taken lightly (not saying you do, either).

Well, pro-choice *should* mean, being an advocate for a woman to abort or *not* abort...all too often, it seems that those who call themselves pro-choice lean more towards abortion."
Huh? Are you kidding me? I've never in my life known or heard of a pro-choicer, or anyone for that matter, who 'leans towards abortion'. Maybe it just seems that way because there are so many 'pro-lifers' who want to take a choice away from women, so it appears that people want women to abort. Nothing could be further from the truth. Being for women to have the choice doesn't mean telling women to choose that.

Te Tebows chose life, which is their right. FWIF, I have no use for Tim Tebows' father, who I think is a real anti-Catholic bigot, and I also think this commercial should not run during the Super Bowl. Abortion is a political issue, and I think the Super Bowl should be free of politics...I am also truly pro choice (because when I go down the slippery slope towards thinking of the ramifications to women if abortion was outlawed in this country, I get very uneasy)...I guess I agree with Clinton, who said he wanted it to be safe, rare, and legal.
I am so fucking sick of politics. Now the damn stupid bowl. Remember when they were just fun beer commercials??? And cool cars... we used to watch the damn game JUST to see the commercials. Not now... the last couple years have sucked, and obviously, it's going to get even worse. Thank god the teams this year are going to make it exciting... maybe.

this is what I love about dlisted. I thought I'd see a whole raft of posts about the "funny" looks of these women, instead there is a thought provoking exchange about the actual CBS commercial situation. You people actually DO have thoughts aside from the superficial! I dof my granny hat to you.
Maybe CBS should just make a blanket policy not to air ANY political ads during a program as highly rated as the super bowl.

Where did you get, in anything I said that a child should be aborted? I said that, in the case of the women who you said continue to be irresponsible and that you stated "NOT for bitches who have had several abortions instead of using a condom or BC pills. I know girls like that, too :( who've gotten pregnant a few times and just collect money from the babydaddy for the procedure."
Like I said, if a woman would rather go through several abortions than use birth control,they need counseling. If you are that self-abusive, you need help. People need to take care of their issues or they aren't going to be good parents to their children.
I think I am in love with all of these lovely grannies...pro choice all the fucking way!

I think the decision not to air the gay dating commercial is more a business decision, rather than some sort of conservative stance. Who watches football? The main demographic is heterosexual men.

Which is funny...cuz I see that commercial as being aimed directly at them....Edited for clarification: aimed directly at "heterosexuals" (like that:)

Then why would it benefit the corporation to run a pro-choice ad if your audience is hetero men? No offense fellas and I'm not trying to discount anyone's beliefs but there aren't a lot of pregnant men running around.
All people should have the right to voice their opinions as long as it's done in a civilized manner. It's the best building ground for a better society. Anyway...
The CBS people might look biased and dumb, but I can understand why they air some ads and block others. It's business and business is about who pays more money, who gives the company a "better name", who gives the company more "positive" feedback, etc based on in THEIR views. All people think differently and pleasing all those people is dumb and impossible. Just think for a moment, they air ads in an unbiased way, from White Supremacist ads to pro-life ads to pro-choice ads to pro-gay ads to anti-gay ads.. people will still bitch and moan! why? same reason. It's impossible to please everyone. One group will get all up in arms because they are anti-religious while the other side will be up in arms because they are anti-atheism and both groups want to see their ADS running and the opposite group's ads blocked. In the end, CBS will still get stoned. Maybe that's why they reserve the right to accept or reject ads. I don't know.
And I agree with Mike. The vast majority of those backwards pro-life people only care about the product INSIDE the womb, but once that baby is born they just forget about it and move on to the next case. What's more dramatic for a human? a short period of living inside the womb and ending fast without dramatic experiences or a long period of living in hell due to the possible shitty conditions of living with parent(s) who don't care nor love him?. I'm all for abortions for unwanted babies, but before that, I'm much more for sexual education for ALL. Besides, a fucking abortion only hurts the mother not the rest of the population. It's a personal choice.

They need to run to their nearest mental health professional ASAP then. Why would someone go through several abortions instead of using birth control or not have sex? I guess some woman have no self respect. The amount of money you spend on abortions can buy you a supply of birth control. What kind of parents are these women? Abortions are painful.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Why? Because they are STUPID!!! You can't underestimate the stupidity, selfishness and shortsightedness of some people, for real. None of the kids are abused or neglected - they have nice home environments and are active in school clubs and sports. There is not one of them that I would say - you would have been better off being aborted because your parents are dumbasses.
Could you look at children who ARE in foster care because of abuse and drug addicted parents and say, you should have been aborted? One life is more worthy because the parent's aren't dysfunctional? Seems like a slippery slope to say some kids are better off being aborted. I can't say the kids would agree even if life is hard. Life is all we have. AGAIN I'M PROCHOICE mainly because these same dumbass women would get illegal abortions and that is very dangerous. I even have compassion for stupid people.

There must be some mental health issues with women who choose to take a painful path through something several times than to take precautions against it. I can't imagine such women being very good parents, sorry.
I think the decision not to air the gay dating commercial is more a business decision, rather than some sort of conservative stance. Who watches football? The main demographic is heterosexual men. Certainly there are tons of women and homosexual men who also love football. But the main demographic being red-blooded, chest thumping, chicken-wing eating heterosexual men, they certainly knew that the commercial would piss a lot of people off. That being said, it would have been nice to see them say, "fuck them if it offends them" and air it. That would have been the classy move.
Damn, I agree that is some trashy shit... a woman who would get several abortions rather than proactively be responsible. But on the other hand that only strengthens my pro-choice stance, because I sure as hell would want that irresponsible person having several abortions rather than several children. That is a pro-choice argument if I've ever heard one.

I understand what you are saying about some people, but I also look at the other side of the coin. Imagine if these people who take abortion so lightly actually carry a pregnancy and become parents. If they are so careless about getting pregnant, how careless are they going to be about the pregnancy? About parenting? Would they put a child up for adoption or will they just not care and be an awful parent?
I've seen some women who don't think twice about whether or not they become pregnant, also don't think twice about their parenting skills or whether they can or can't give a child a decent life.
Alot of thought needs to go into such things before someone becomes pregnant, but we know that doesn't always happen. To take an option away from women will cause more suffering all the way around, imo.

No offense, but you know some really trashy people. Most women don't get abortion after abortion, and most don't use abortion in lieu of birth control. An abortion isn't a painless procedure, and the vast majority of women aren't eager to repeat it.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I agree it is trashy, and I don't think most people do get several abortions (I hope not! But it does happen). Three people are in my family who have had more than two abortions (can't control who I am related to or who my classmates in High School were). It is sad. I'd never get an abortion but I wouldn't want the law changed either.
All of my friends are Pro-Choice. Whenever one ends up getting surprised by a pregnancy you know what happens? They keep it. Yep I've had six friends keep babies, I only have one Pro-Choice friend that has had an abortion.
Choice is just that, just having options. I'm also Pro-Choice and at 28 I've never been knocked up and if I got pregnant I honestly have no idea what I'd end up doing. If that moment does come I'll be very happy to have options.

I think it should be for women who feel desperate and would otherwise go to back-alley butcher, NOT for bitches who have had several abortions instead of using a condom or BC pills. I know girls like that, too :( who've gotten pregnant a few times and just collect money from the babydaddy for the procedure.

That's the same as saying everyone who is pro-choice is pro-abortion. Some pro-lifers are anti-death penalty, pro-gun control, etc... You can't paint an entire group, by the words/actions of some.
Some, but relatively few. If you're anti-abortion and anti-death penalty, I can accept you calling yourself pro-life (which is not to say I'll agree with you), but that's pretty rare. Even The Catholic Church which claims to be both rarely, rarely pays lip service to the death penalty.
Since Tim Tebow is pro-life, maybe he will give me a butt-baby!

True story:
So I have gotten my husband and teenagers to volunteer for our local folk music association. They send us downtown to man the table at a Holly North concert, and the opening acts were a lesbian guitar duo and the Raging Grannies. We had never heard of any of these people before,a nd the crowd that gathered was very interesting. So while we're setting up the cd table for Holly, this group of old ladies gather into a circle and start doing warm-up excersizes. At that point, my teenage son looks over at the Raging Grannies--totally bored and freaked out at this point---and deadpans the line, "Give me a rope, I am going to kill myself!"
Classic.

Personally, I'm for pro-choice, but I feel that ALL groups should have EQUAL freedom to voice their opinions as long as it doesn't promote actual hate and violence.
If a pro-life organization wants to air an ad during the Superbowl then they should have that right just like a pro-choice group should have the right to air an ad.
The same goes with ManCrunch. They should also have a right to air their ad.
The grannies are right...CBS are corporate bull shit.

Every pro-lifer should foster children. If they are that passionate about the cause. I've had several Bible thumping pro-lifers get all holy with their message and quickly shut down when I ask them if they foster children.

Although I don't agree with this group or its message, aren't they allowed to purchase airtime in a free society? Has CBS been proven to have denied an organization such as Planned Parenthood the same airtime? Networks show all different kinds of advertising. It doesn't necessarily mean they agree with the views in the ad.
For the record, I'm a fiscally conservative atheist who has had an abortion and fully supports a woman's right to choose.
