I think that was my favorite one! I, too, have a super-judgy dog. But I think her whole thought process is, "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS AND NOT MAKING ME A SANDWICH."

It's actually the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy that's in charge of the site, and I think the Ad Council is just responsible for the ad, which I thought was pretty cute.

You could mitigate the candidate listing problem by randomizing them, since we mostly vote on computers now anyway. That would get very tedious with many candidates, though.

Chiming in with thanks for sharing this. You articulated your experience so well. All victims need support and isolating men is completely counter to the good that advocates and activists try to do. I'll remember this, basically, whenever I do any advocacy work, and I'm really glad I was able to read this.

But isn't the beauty of a marshmallow all in the texture? Otherwise it's just... sugar, right?

I think it can be a fine line between trash talk and all-out abuse. I don't like trash talk myself, but some of it can be attributed to competitiveness or grandstanding or whatever, and if it pertains to your opponent's actual gameplay, then... sure! Okay!

Actually, "You are an unkillable freak of nature" is one of the greatest compliments I can think of!

It's like Toy Story taught us nothing. A national shame.

So true! Maybe that tumor would have become the next president, if only we hadn't pumped it full of radiation before it got a chance to become sentient.

How dare those girls have boobs! Sickening indeed!
