The latest Christian and Olli clip

[apocalypsos]

God, I hope they didn't keep Fabian around so we'd like Judith's fake boyfriend more than her real one. Urgh.

Hey, remember this Heinz ad with the two men kissing?

Well, they pulled it due to anti-gay complaints and apologized.

They got two hundred complaints about the ad. I think we can beat that total in a walk, don't you?

That's ridiculous! I think that's a great ad, really cute. I can't believe they pulled it. I've sent my complaint in.

Aw, for Pete's sake. I saw this ad on tv in England recently, and sat, thrilled, that they had actually kissed. Damn censors.

[laurelin-kit.livejournal.com]

Submitted a complaint. God, this stuff pisses me off.

It's sad how companies will cave in to a few bigots.

I've sent my complaint in.

Narrow-minded people piss me off...

I have submitted my complaint and have asked for a response. I look forward to seeing what they have to say.

Thanks for the heads up about this.

Complaint submitted. It pisses me off when someone says "but then I have to explain to my children!" Well, that's your job as a parent, asshole.

Not that what they say in their explanations will likely be particularly helpful, but it's a flimsy and idiotic excuse for bigotry.

I've submitted a complaint. I hate that a small amount of bigots can exert that much pressure.

I just want you to know, btw, that you've got me hooked on Christian and Olli. :D

[fools-game.livejournal.com]

I love that they are all sitting around having, like, a strategy meeting about Christian's gayness.

Aw, it seems for every really adorable thing I see today, something bad has to happen! D:

I've sent my complaint.

I'd love to write in a complaint, but I'm so bad sometimes at coming up with properly persuasive writing rather than incoherent cursing. Any ideas?

[darcydodo]

Well, here's what I'm sending in — hope it's some help:

"I am outraged that a couple hundred complaints from anti-gay bigots not only made you pull a commercial showing two men kissing but also caused you to *apologize* for running the commercial in the first place. I, by contrast, am delighted that the Heinz company was open-minded enough to make the commercial and only wish that the company were willing to stand by its beliefs."

There's an online petition too.

Totally off-topic, but SHEER ICON ADORATION!!!

May I gank for occasional use?

(The juxtaposition of "claymore" and "reasoned discussion" is brilliant. She's just who I need periodically to remove the wandering herds of drama llamas from my front lawn!)

I got my user name from that Unitarian Jihad name generator it's almost the best thing on the internet! =D

That icon was made by iconomicon so you can gank as you like! I tend to put the credit in the key words instead of the meta-floaty-doover.

Thanks much! Also, thanks for the link. I am now: Sister Nail Gun of Sweet Reason. :D

[3jane.livejournal.com]

I sent my complaint in, too. And promised to buy many, many condiments if they re-considered pulling it.

I cannot but imagine how Constantin would be; much more sure of himself and supportive, as in No problem, Christian and Olli, we'll make a spectacular break-up between J and C, let me just call an old friend with a hot chick on a speed dial, that'd own him a favor.
