LOL! That photo of him looks sooooo much like the Inspector Cluseau disguise that he wore into the castle when he was pretending to be a dentist ...... the fake wax nose later melted off.

I actually did check to see if this article was from scrappleface. Sadly not.

Let's be honest here, madnsad - when's the last time you saw a movie or TV show that portrayed a young adult virgin in a positive light?

Little house on the prairie.

[metmom]

Whoa! Is that hideous!

[CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC]

And that show ended in about 1980, right? So that's around 25 years.

I am surprised! I thought it'd be at least 35-40 years since Hollywood portrayed such a character.

BTW - who was the character you're referring to? Laura? Did she make it into adulthood on the show?

>>>So because Microsoft provides same-sex benefits and promotes the same to other companies, I should protest by not buying or using anything sold by Microsoft? So I should quite my job because my employer mandates the use of MS Word and Excel and is, indirectly, supporting gay rights with which I disagree with?<<

Hey, its a free country. You are free to protest and object, or to go with the flow. There's always Linux and OpenOffice, both free.

You are also free to buy a single share of Microsoft or any other company whose policies you object to (or support) and introduce a Shareholder's Resolution that will be presented to all shareholder's for a vote.

You are also free to start your own company and have policies that are 100% in line with your beliefs.

Thanks for that link. Although my girls are now past the doll stage, I know many families that would be interested in this.

Laura finished school and took over as teacher and married Alonzo.

Since abstinence has been known to fail

Once.

[NewJerseyJoe]

So when conservatives "vote with their dollars" (i.e., utilize boycotts to advance a point of view), they're wackos. When liberals do it, it's socially enlightening and beneficial to all.

Glad I'm able to understand the difference now.

Uh-oh - someone must own stock in American Girl. This was quite the protest.

[xcamel]

Sick Sick Sick Sick Sick Sick Sick Sick Sick Sick Sick Sick Sick and um, Sick !!!!

More American Girl ping...

<< The American Family Association was among the few organizations to perceive that preschool children were being brainwashed into pursuing a life of homosexuality by a sexually ambiguous Teletubby ....

Yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnn ....

A man with even half a brain [Too smart, that is, to be either a Sodomnazi or a "Democrat"] doesn't need an "American Family Association" - a Mark-One Eyeball will do - to see that, world-wide, the chillruns' television industry is top-to-bottom [Now, that's punny!] poofter-owned operated-and-controlled.

And the same half-brained man can see that this epithet-rich piece, easily perceived to be butt a poofter polemicist's pathological projection, is butt a preaching to the already perverted.

"Since abstinence has been known to fail, it also acknowledges the existence of contraception and abortion."Wrong, Mr. McNally. Abstinence works every time it's used!

[LongElegantLegs]

Or, if you want your little princess on the fast track to Paris Hilton-like stardom, you can get her a Baby Brat.

[Politicalmom]

Well, call me a prude, but I object to a website for a "wholesome product" for LITTLE GIRLS having links to information about the "sexuality of babies", and how great being a lesbian is, and how girls have the right to an abortion without informing their evil parents.

I have informed both sets of grandparents that there will be no more AG products in our house. I won't be a party to spreading filth to innocents.

OH yeah, condoms ALWAYS work, just ask my biological mom.

[stockpirate]

This is where the charges about lesbianism come in. It seems that in educating adolescent girls about sexuality, Girls Inc. fails to teach young women to hate themselves or anyone else if they happen to be gay. Almost as bad, in attempting to prevent teenage pregnancy, Girls Inc. reveals to girls that abstinence is not the only method of birth control. Since abstinence has been known to fail, it also acknowledges the existence of contraception and abortion.

No advocacy is involved. It's a simple matter of providing an honest education in the basics of good health for adolescent girls.

Okay, will someone please explain to me just how in the world abstinence sometimes fails?

The program is brainwashing little girls.

[gitmo]

Since abstinence has been known to fail,

Huh??

Well, just that once. And that was a couple millenea ago.
