NARAL Offended: We Reject Life And Have No Sense Of Humor, So How Dare You Affirm Life In A Doritos Commercial!
[guest post by Dana]
So this funny commercial aired during the Super Bowl tonight:
Apparently, not everyone thought it was funny:
You know what else, uh, “humanizes” unborn *human* babies, NARAL? I’ll tell show you:
These are the death cultists spewing all manner of dishonest and life-denying bullshit because at all costs, those nestled in the womb with beating hearts and immortal souls known since before Creation must never be acknowledged as anything more than a clump of cells and tissue, or else the morally depraved house of cards will fall. These silent innocents, formed by the hand of God and in His image, must be denied their humanity and their inherent worth. Deny them so that the Grand Deception of the bloodthirsty barbarians may live on.
–Dana
So weird – the commercial is hilarious, yet that NARAL can’t see how funny it is, but rather see it as a threat to their death cult business, shows just how jaded they are.
Dana (86e864) — 2/7/2016 @ 7:53 pmThe thing I thought was funny about the NARAL tweet was how they tried to broaden outrage against the commercial with the “sexist tropes” bit.
I guess the commercial did make the dad look clueless, but what, exactly, would be a reaction to his behavior that wouldn’t be “uptight”?

JD (34f761) — 2/7/2016 @ 8:04 pm“humanizing fetuses”
srsly?
that’s over the top even for me
wtf else are they
happyfeet (831175) — 2/7/2016 @ 8:05 pmwtf else are they
Anything but.
Dana (86e864) — 2/7/2016 @ 8:06 pmGlad to see them finally protesting the “useless man” thing. If only they actually meant it.
Milhouse (87c499) — 2/7/2016 @ 8:08 pmCayleyGraph,
What’s so pathetic and ridiculous about the “sexist tropes” is that when one is at the end of a pregnancy, huge, heavy, uncomfortable and anxious, “uptight” is an apt description. And dads, especially if it’s their first birthing experience, are often clueless – not because they are dumb – but because they haven’t seen their wives in this high state of uptightness and don’t quite fully know what to expect when their beloveds have to expel a watermelon out of their nether regions.
Dana (86e864) — 2/7/2016 @ 8:10 pmHow can you humanize a fetus?
It already is a human, for crying out loud! Are they insane?
Patricia (5fc097) — 2/7/2016 @ 8:23 pmCrying out loud is actually almost the only thing it isn’t doing yet 🙂
Milhouse (87c499) — 2/7/2016 @ 8:28 pmThat Doritos commercial and the Marilyn Monroe commercial were the two best commercials during the super bowl.
I guess killing babies takes away your sense of humor. Or, maybe you can only kill babies if you don’t have a sense of humor to start with.

How many feet of snow fell on Washington?
And yet.
Certain lines remain unbroken.

Steve57 (f61b03) — 2/7/2016 @ 9:55 pmThere is no ambiguity. To have or not have sex. That is the choice.
A human life begins its evolution from conception. The consensus is that humanity is exceptional. Let’s recognize the merits of that classification and travel the chaotic path together.
There are natural imperatives and two moral axioms: individual dignity and intrinsic value. Go forth and reconcile.

You know how they give awards for cinematography. Little things like in the movie Raging Bull, how the camera is inside the ring so you are right in the action up until LaMatta is throwing a fight, then the camera pulls back outside the ring.
Subtle but effective in telling the story.
The juxtaposition of the Dorito ad, so light hearted and genuinely funny, and the horrifying remains in the dish just off the page. So you unawares scroll down and it hits you in the face.
That’s some effective blogging there, Dana.
You are getting scary good at this.
papertiger (c2d6da) — 2/7/2016 @ 11:11 pm1. Because it’s impossible to cry out loud with no air in your lungs.
Milhouse (87c499) — 2/8/2016 @ 2:18 am2. Because if babies cried out loud in the womb we’d hear them.
A lot of money in the abortion industry
Why do you think PP defends so much.
Why not spin off the abortion services – not a chance – Abortion is PP’s major profit center

Colonel Haiku (bf0388) — 2/8/2016 @ 7:25 amI am pro-life but I am willing to compromise to the extent of allowing NARAL members to be aborted at any point after the 976th week of gestation.
nk (dbc370) — 2/8/2016 @ 7:34 amThere’s a special place in Hell for people like that.
crazy (cde091) — 2/8/2016 @ 7:48 amThat image is disturbing. It should be on every Billboard from DC to Boston and LA to San Francisco.

Let me be the first, at least here, to say, f***in’ eh.
Steve57 (f61b03) — 2/8/2016 @ 8:00 ami’m not pro-life but i love doritos when my brother was getting his toe fixed after an unfortunate toe mutilation incident i ate a lot of doritos out of the vending machine while i was in the waiting room watching the fish
they were very tasty
happyfeet (a037ad) — 2/8/2016 @ 8:03 ambags were kinda on the small side though
happyfeet (a037ad) — 2/8/2016 @ 8:03 amI am going to buy the family size, today. A jar of chunky salsa and a tub of bean dip, too. The roast will stay in the freezer for another day. How much fresh food can a person be expected to eat, anyway?
nk (dbc370) — 2/8/2016 @ 8:39 amis a good texas company
wow way to take the lead in the corn chip category, Doritos!
impressive!
happyfeet (a037ad) — 2/8/2016 @ 9:14 amhere also you can get a free burrito

happyfeet (a037ad) — 2/8/2016 @ 9:27 amhappyfeet, that’s what we call, “Chipotle values.” (LOL)
