PTC: Because Our Children (And GOP Backers) Are Watching

[luna_k]

What kills me most about the PTC's getting it's panties in a twist over this racy Paris Hilton ad how they can't see the obvious. The bigger fuss they make, the more cable bobblehead shows are endlessly playing and replaying the ad at all hours of the day, so at 7:30am when I'm walking into work I see Paris soaping herself up (UGH.) Not to mention

You know, I hadn't thought about this until I read this, but I remember hearing when I first moved out here that Carl's Jr. is one of those restaraunt chains, like Dominos Pizza, allegedly owned by very conservative folks who give money to right wing causes. I never bothered to dig around and find out whether it was true or not, but if it is, it would explain the outrage. It's not just like a beer commercial, if that's the case, because the social conservatives would feel betrayed that their good, wholesome company is producing the ads. Or maybe I just haven't had breakfast yet. It just seems to me that the vitriol the neocons have for Disney's support for gay and lesbian employees was extra biting because it was Disney, which is perceived to be a nice, wholesome, family company. Of course, the thing is, Carl's Jr. ads have always been the raciest of the fast food chain ads. So I guess that makes less sense, but it was a thought.
