This has been out for a while now. It is very funny.

It is unnerving for me to admit to myself that I actually agree with the ACLU on some things.

This ad is about information sharing in the abstract. However, what the ACLU doesn't do is think through their own positions wiht respect to information sharing. For example, I suppose they very much support the sharing of information regarding gun ownership and eventually health care information as well. Some of their very own policies are driving us toward a world where this pizza example is made possible.

So wait...If I want to stop this from happening, I should act today and play the video again?!?!

How does playing the video stop anything?

[CharlesWayneCT]

Well, yes, I don't want that to happen, but I hardly think supporting the ACLU is the best way to acheive that goal.

After all, I also want to keep African Lions out of my back yard, but I'm not going to pay someone a monthly protection fee to do so.

Yup. Instead you'll pay a arms and ammunition manufacturers for products that enable you to do so yourself. It's called "taking responsibility", and it's a vanishing concept in American culture.

If "Failure to Take Responsibility" were criminal behvaior, we'd be a nation of inmates.

I hate going to the ACLU website, but I gotta admit that was pretty funny...and scary at the same time

[RedRover]

I think it's like contributing to Save Dafur so they can produce more TV commercials.

[CharlesWayneCT]

OK, although my point was that there was no chance that an African Lion would ever show up in my back yard -- so while I desired to keep them out, I didn't really have to DO ANYTHING to make that happen.

What I'm saying is that the ACLU pitch here is a straw man to scare us into giving them money so they can sue schools to prevent our kids from expressing their faith in public.

[HKMk23]

I got your drift, there; that, even though there's no threat, people want to pay a third party to deal with it. I realize that the ACLU would be a paper tiger if people would stand up and be responsible for themselves, which will never happen. So, the ACLU is able to subsist on the wealth of the shiftless who want some .org somewhere to go do their dirty work for them.

Mr. and Mrs. anti-god, or whatever, are too much the wimps to confront the godly in the public square on their own; to actually complain in person, or in their own name, about some perceived threat; but they'll readily cough up $50 a month to pay the ACLU to do it. So, the ACLU continually warns about the coming invasion of African Lions; promising to stave it off with every dollar they receive from their monthly supporters.

Then, in a made-for-Hollywood fit of delicious irony, those bogey-man-threatened contributors to the ACLU have the flaming gall to bad-mouth televangelists for making financial appeals of the same nature. LOL!!

and scary at the same time

I am surprised they did not have a more obvious reference to danger zones and post 911.

This was so far over the top that instead of being "scary" or even humorous, it bordered on being assinine.
