Republicans (Fascists) want to be able to control women, as saying they has some specific roll in a family. that's so fucked up!
Seriously, though, I like the male-male and female-female gender symbols as a watermark on the Constitution. We're having that done when we win, aren't we? Just to make it look official, I mean...
One would HOPE the people voicing this ad aren't doing it "just for the money", and that any V-O performer who disagreed with its contents would refuse to do the work.
All I CAN tell you is that it wasn't done under a union contract...
And that final shot? Come on! Is the Golden Gate bridge more menacing and scary when it's off center and significantly out of frame?
You may not like our values NOM, but do we really deserve to be butchered by crappy stock photography?
I just figured they're as scared of Rice-A-Roni as they are of teh Gays...
@11 LOL!
@9 Also better represented by parking tickets, hipsters, and MUNI experiences.
...because once we allow gays to marry, all the straights lose their rights to do so, I guess...?
But the response is far too logical and academic. We absolutely need more ads like the "clean coal" ads to make our point (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFJVbdiMg…). People listen to snark, scare tactics, and soundbites. Not so much a respectful, well-researched, and thorough take-down of lies.
Possibly, and especially if the spot was cut in a "Right to Work" state. But, like I said, it was definitely done non-union, so there's no compelling reason to think a union member would have scabbed, when the producers could easily have found non-union talent to do the work.
Regarding the observation that the video preaches to the choir: yes, yes it does. But as someone recently commented -- I think on this site? -- sometimes the choir needs something to sing about. So, my hope is that by by explaining the facts and unraveling NOM's lies, we can maintain our focus.
But of course, it's one-on-one conversations with family and friends and coworkers and neighbors that do the most good. You're all having those conversations, right?
