"Hey all you virgins! Thanks for nothing!"

She wasn't really blaming the sign itself, rather the message that it conveys. And she kinda has a point....

Exactly. Only a moron sees a sign like that and gets ideas. And if such behavior knocks 'em off our whirling orb of dirt, all the better. They're the stuff future Darwin Award Winners are made of.

(edited because I realized that's a terribly intemperate remark, but I just hate people who take a band-aid solution to life's little problems, such as targeting a mindless billboard for its supposed corruptive power. For cryin' out loud, if it's not Elvis's pelvis, Gene Simmons's tongue, or Amy Grant cavorting with a boy in a video from her hell-spawned secular album.....)

That is a very stupid and unfunny sign, that makes people feel bad for something that is either out of their control or a morals based personal choice.

Right. The sign isn't very funny. And it's not completely demoralizing of itself. But, it is a representation of the rapid reversal of civilization in morality, equality, and "advanced cephilization"

"Its a billboard for crying out loud. If you are idiot enough to be persuaded by the message behind a billboard for a radio station....well..."

Especially THAT radio station's morning crew (which is what all the ads are built around). They make a certain AssMan in NYC look like Frasier.

" And if such behavior knocks 'em off our whirling orb of dirt, all the better. They're the stuff future Darwin Award Winners are made of."

Well, not the ones that get pregnant. They're increasing the number of contestants for future Darwin awards, not improving the gene pool.

By having loads of sex and drinking a lot. In the culture that we have it's difficult enough trying to teach your kids some manner of morals and ethics. I'm not saying that this one particular sign is the downfall of our culture, but it sure as hell is indicative of where our culture is headed as a whole. Don't paint me with the same brush as you would a Donald Wildman or Pt Robertson, but where does it stop? Where do you put the brakes on? It's gotta start somewhere, and if a mom somewhere dislikes a sign that more or less sends the message to her daughter that it's wrong to ber a virgin, then that mother is not the problem here.

Why do I get the feeling her mom is Houston's equivalent of Piper Laurie in Carrie?

I dated cheerleaders.

I think this is the most telling part of the article. Instead of saying, "My mom taught me about abstinance becuase of the risk of pregnancy or STD's" she says that her parents tell her to stay away from "boys and marraige."

It's this type of ignorant parenting that get girls into trouble.

This is the kind of thread that happens when someone leaves open the fence to the scary right-wingers patting themselves on the back in the political forum.

Ah, yes. The great equalizer.

Of course, you could keep posting those pics of Dunst all day long, too. Yummy, indeed!

It's my nature to survive regardless of will. I am the single most hated individual on the face of the earth and was (/still am) the angriest, most bitter, cold, and deadly bastard who ever denied his basic lusts to pursue the more important goals in life. (ie, the ones that last more than fifteen minutes).

Uhh, yeah, parents need to give the right guidance, but I think a lot of the blame goes to the kids as well.

Remember. Only you can prevent a forest fire.

P.S. what the hell does IMO stand for, been trying to figure it out for months.

In My Opinion.

"Where do you put the brakes on? It's gotta start somewhere, and if a mom somewhere dislikes a sign that more or less sends the message to her daughter that it's wrong to ber a virgin, then that mother is not the problem here."

The mother may not be the problem implied in the article..it's the way she's phrasing things that's the problem, because we don't know if she's just mangling the language, or if she really believes so little in her skills as a parent and in her daughter's ability to think that a billboard and other jokes in the media...which a shelter teenager might not recognize as a joke...will suddenly cause her daughter to start experimenting with total abandon.
It's the stance that THIS IS WRONG, IT'S BLACK & WHITE that's the problem. If she was suggesting that the sign MIGHT cause a problem and should be reconsidered, she might actually have more of an affect. As it is, she's calling more attention to the sign & the radio station...which, trust me, only induces this particular station to put up more billboards. It really wouldn't suprise me if it turned out this woman was actually paid by the station's parent company to complain...I've seen that company do much worse, publicity wise (like pretending to shut down a station only to reopen it on another frequency when people complained, in an effort to show the public that they care about their opinion...when the whole thing was a set up because they were moving the station anyways).

I'm all for acknowledging the fact that yes, people do have sex.

But the sign's not funny. It's not offensive, but it's not funny. Like morning radio, it's just infantile.

A sign like "Hey all you DJ's: Fart Jokes Aren't Funny!" or something in response might be good for a chuckle, though. People need to lighten up.

Ah, memories...

And maybe you should stick to writing about films and not throw in on a thread that up until you came in had no personal animosity at all.

And I'm not getting ugly. Just making a point, Shelby....
That's all the sauciness you'll get from me around here wink

yes please

Sorry. I was fucking a sheep in the Culture paddock.

this is freakin' Texas for crying out loud!!!

Oh please do.

Actually, I feel the billboards that scream, "Want to know who the father is? Call 1-888-DNA-TEST" is more indicative of where our culture is headed as a whole.

Oh, so true.....

You're absolutely right. I think I should stick to writing about films from here on out.

I would like to know what Golden Age of culture we are supposed to return to?

The one where sexuality is kept hidden? Where women who are abused keep their mouths shut? Where women don't even have orgasms in the first place?

There's nothing immoral or wrong with sex. If you think there is, then I believe that you have problems, and if your culture thinks there is anything wrong with sex, then I think your culture is sick.

I'd wager they still don't when you're involved.

Jason, the point of this personal attack is?

Paging Dr. Pavlov, please retrieve your dog, the experiment is a success.

Oh...see - he doesn't understand WHY I'd lash out...

That's NICE!!

Maybe if you brought back the thread you deleted, people could see exactly why, hmmm...?

Of course, I know most did, if the private messages and e-mails I recieved were any indication.

See Dev - it's too late to play innocent. People here know you're full of shit.

Jason I deleted it because there was no way that thread was coming back to Earth. Of course, if we had that thread people could see you jumping in with both feet gunning at me for no reason.

PS- About that thread in question: I said I would "roger" your girlfriend, which is when I believe you responded to the effect that you would beat me up. If we ever met. Which you doubted we would.

Truth is I would never fuck your girlfriend. Django's too ugly even for me.

By the way, why don't you send me some of those PMs or emails? Cause you know what? I think you're flat out lying.

My apologies if posting this bothers who sent it - message me and I'll take it down.

Here's the best one:

I don't send many private messages, but I just had to say something regarding the Devin/Poxy fight thread (I'm sure you know which one I mean).

You are the fucking MAN!

I wish I had the testicles to stand up to assholes like Devin more often. I really don't understand why Nick lets him get away with so much bullshit. You are a shining example in the internet void. I know we don't always agree on things (who does?) but I just wanted to mention I really admire and respect your contributions to the Chud message boards.

And not to worry, I'm not gonna start stalking you or anything.

Keep up the great work."

Feel free to forward that to me so I can see it on the CHUD PM html.

Wait, quick, go get one of your minions to SEND you a PM so you can forward it to me.

Yeah - I know, 'cause I typed it all myself.

I told you, I'm not telling you who wrote this - and the others get a bit too specific in that, "One day, the asshole said..." kinda' way...

No one who wanted their comments to remain private needs you to figure out who they are so you can start chasing them like you chase female roomies. That is why private messages are PRIVATE messages, you fucking nub.

Keep lying Jason.

You speak for the "downtrodden masses" of CHUD? Fine. Whatever you say. You win. I'm so utterly bored of you and your bullshit around here.

Take your shots all you like. Engage in email smear campaigns, talk behind my back, whatever. Frankly, my concern about my image on these boards is pretty minimal. If you need to look at yourself as some kind of CHUD tough guy, you know what? I'm happy to concede that to your damaged psyche.

Cause you showed me when you got that job writing for Buffy.

And you showed me with your big business deal with Roddy piper.

And I'm sure you'll show me again with your huge project with Will.

Keep talking son. It's all your good for. And I'll just let everyone listen.

That's right...I'm lying.

Don't write for Buffy. I have an open door at M.E. That's all I need.

Never had a business deal with the Hot Rod - show me where I said I did. We just talk about the possibilities. He's a great guy.

As for Will? Who knows where that's going? It's an interesting thing - though not as exciting as "Webmaster for nonprofit"...

If you need to tell yourself that I'm making things up - and that people aren't really tired of your ignorant shit - then do what you have to do to get you though.

I don't speak for any masses - I speak for myself.

You can't even do THAT without erasing it five seconds after you type it.

Nighty-night, fuckboy.

shelby, sorry your thread got fucked up

Hey, I've gotten three private message thanking me as well, can I be in on the conspiracy too?

Define irony: a thread in which I was told to take a comment I made and "edit that out like a big boy" and in which I refused to do so is completely deleted so that now no one can see what it was I was standing by in the first place.

I've heard of "if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen," but removing the kitched from existence entirely is a new one on me.

Poxy you foolish cock, I have explained why I killed the thread - IT WAS A WASTE. The thread was killed by Jason. Rather than turn it into ANOTHER headache for Nick, I killed it.

Go jerk off to Hayden Christiansen now.

Hold that high ground!

So, this billboard says "Hey all you virgins! Thanks for nothing!", so I says...
