“Si tratta con tutta probabilità di una bufala, e anche vecchiotta. L’originale era su www.ananova.com, ma non è più online, per una disamina vedi http://xrlq.com/2004/05/17/ananova-to-blogosphere-youve-been-punkd/”

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

On the Tebow Ad

Filed under:   by Xrlq @ 8:03 pm

I’m not sure why this (h/t: Sister Toldjah) is even controversial. By all accounts, the ad is not going to argue that women have no right to abort; it will merely urge them to choose not to. Which, one might think, would be A-O-K by all those self-described “pro-choicers” who steadfastly deny being pro-abortion. Well, if pregnant women are really such helpless, delicate flowers that one single, solitary ad urging them to choose Option A over Option B will compromise their ability to choose on their own, the obvious remedy would be for the pro-choicers to cough up a few mill of their own and run a competing ad urging women to abort. With the “choose life” ad focusingon one Heisman winner who clearly should not have been aborted (though this fact was anything but clear to doctors at the time), perhaps the “choose death” ad could focus on a somewhat less worthy Heisman winner, O.J. Simpson, or perhaps a more recent Heisman wannabe like Michael Vick.
