The AFA has some sort of hissy fit about Mary Kay buying ad time during Desperate Housewives.

Dear AFA, get bent. And also, get lives. Sheesh.

I wish people would learn the difference between the words "portray" and "promote."

[opportunemoment.livejournal.com]

Hee. Amen to that (as it were).

I think they deliberately try to frame all this stuff as "By showing ____, XYZ Company is *promoting* ____." It's so disingenuous.

[paradisacorbasi.livejournal.com]

Well, see, to the AFA the words are synonymous. A "decent Christian show" wouldn't portray it because by portraying it, you are promoting it.

Isn't the AFA the same site that tried to pass off an anti-gay marriage petition they didn't tell anyone but their supporters about as being 'the voice of the public' or something to that effect?

Yeah, my respect for them...well, never mind, I just realized I don't have any respect for them at all.

I think so, yeah.

If I'm remembering correctly, a bunch of liberal sites got word and the end result was about 75% pro gay marriage. Quietly got taken down, heh.

Oh yes. >D That was how I found out about it.

Funny, once 'the people' actually got wind of the poll and voted on it, suddenly their voices weren't important anymore because they weren't saying the right things with them!

What I'd never realized is that Mary Kay's official company philosophy is "God first, family second and career third."

Wow, how very 50s of them. (Espcially for a company designed to employ and market to actual desperate housewives.)

I want to tell the AFA that gay men sell Mary Kay. Sometimes to other (not necessary but frequently gay) men. And watch their heads explode.
