Why an ad campaign to associate churchgoers with wife beaters?

What was the pose in Zoolander - the El Tigre ? What would you call a pose in wife beating mode? And more importantly - is anyone inclined to be a wife-beater affected by such a public service ad campaign? I didn't think so.

That name jumped out (pun intended) at me too.

"Why an ad campaign to associate churchgoers with wife beaters?"
Exactly. Were any Hollywood stars, celebrities or members of liberal activist groups portrayed as potential wife beaters?

Because it didn't work on football fans during a Superbowl game.
The claim by the ugly dykes was that domestic violence incidences quadrupled during any Superbowl game.

Triple Edwards, not to be confused with Triple H of WWE fame.

Why an ad campaign to associate churchgoers with wife beaters? Why just men?
Seems to me a lot of women out there have been killing their own children lately. Why don't they say anything about that? Oh, I forgot, because the media is PRO DEATH!!

Why its just the liberal view that all conservative, church going, successful individuals MUST be domestic abusers!

Because that's what NYC bureaucrats believe.
In point of fact, I'll be willing to bet that most domestic abusers also have substance abuse problems, arrest records for violent crimes committed outside the home, spotty to nonexistent employment histories, etc.
Liberal mythology requires us to believe that all law-abiding, decent folk are secretly monsters inside while self-absorbed, weird and antisocial people are life's heroes.
That's basically the plot device that drives thousands and thousands of Hollywood movies, TV programs, popular novels, news stories, etc.

Because their friends thought they were wifebeaters? Because of this the models(meatheads)sued? Well, why not have a chat with their friends to explain THEY WERE ONLY ADS, YOU GRAVY-SUCKING IDIOTS! I DON'T BEAT WOMEN!
Gee, that tact ought to work OK, don't you think?

Why didn't they just put the black line over their face like they do to the fashion victims.

Well, there were also the poses "blue steel" and his masterpiece, "MAGNUM!".
You raise a good point, though. I doubt your average abuser would even admit to his or herself they were abusive, let alone be swayed by a print campaign featuring pretty boy male models.
Of course, having not seen the ads, I'm just assuming the models were your standard high-cheekboned, androgynous sissy-boys.

I did a quick google search. The only one that came back clear was for Triple Edwards, who is a sponsor for "A celebration of the continuing revolutionary role of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) leaders in business, arts, politics, religion and culture."

I once heard of a girl who had to change schools because her face was used in conjunction with a story in a teen magazine about date rape. The photographers had a release, but she had no idea what the pictures were to be used for as they were taken during a shoot for a completely different article.
The kids in her school believed the girl in the story was the girl in the pictures, labeled her a "slut" and basically ran her out of town.
People can not comprehend the idea that these are actors and models, and they are playing a role.

This reminds me of that actor on 90210 who played Donna's abusive boyfriend.
