Promotion Schmomotion

Yes, the point of promotional materials is to use the promotional materials during any activity which is related to the thing being promoted.  Hell, you want to know why people still die of cancer?  They haven’t melded their Livestrong bracelets to their bodies.  Sillies.

Jill Stanek wonders if abortion is becoming “uncool”.  Does anyone really attach the factor of “coolness” to medical procedures?  Who’s had a kickass colonscopy?  You, you there - tell me about your x-treme dialysis!  If the promotion of an ideological position on abortion rights using branded materials means that you’re “uncool”, being pro-life is apparently for glue-eaters and people who still play competitive HeXen

Hey, my cystoscopy was COOL!  I mean, when Dr. Geringer shoved that camera up my urethra - man!

Comment #1: Bruce  on  08/28  at  09:31 PM

why do you use the pro-choice label?  why not pro-abortion?

I mean, I’m pro-gun rights (and don’t own a gun or choose to) and I don’t call myself pro-choice.

liars.

Comment #2: BobK  on  08/28  at  10:06 PM

Don’t you know, the only appropriate pro-choice souvenir for some people is a tricolor coathanger.

Dangit, and I was all ready to say “in before Bob, Stacy, and Raving,” too, but then I refreshed.

Comment #3: Rebecca  on  08/28  at  10:11 PM

Because the fundamental right we’re debating is the right of a woman to choose whether or not she goes through with her pregnancy.  I agree that the pro-gun label is stupid but hey, us smarties got to “pro choice” before you.  Nyah nyah.

Comment #4: Jesse Taylor  on  08/28  at  10:12 PM

I will have you know that Jill Stanek and her pro-life crew are on the cutting edge of cool:

“Yeah, fo shizzle. Nathan promised me saying fo shizzle would elevate me to the ranks of cool when he and I met this weekend in Oregun (not to be confused with Oregone).”

Well, BobK pro-gun rights is a bit different than pro-gun, no? I would be fully willing to say I was pro- abortion rights, but that’s a bit different than pro-abortion. Also, what Jesse said.

The comments section over there is priceless.

Comment #6: Julie  on  08/28  at  10:33 PM

Pro-abortion would be the appropriate label for a person who opposed women giving birth.

I’d say pro-life is more of a misleading name, as who isn’t in favor of life, really?

Comment #7: Rebecca  on  08/28  at  10:35 PM

“Because the fundamental right we’re debating is the right of a woman to choose whether or not she goes through with her pregnancy.”

Because the fundamental right we’re debating is the right of a person to choose whether or not she/he can own a gun.

Beast,

come back to Jill’s place, there are people you care about you and how you are doing (MK).

Comment #8: BobK  on  08/28  at  10:53 PM

Who’s had a kickass colonscopy?

*wince*

Could we please give some thought for the literal imagery before using expressions?

I’m thriving. 

I had friends on both sides of the debate over there, Jill just can’t take any dissent.  (I loved the time she called me “pigdog slime” and accused me of “Satanic retching” just ‘cause I pointed out that she was a blatant liar.  Some people are SO sensitive…)

Comment #10: Beast  on  08/28  at  11:14 PM

On the one hand, you can be pro-choice.  On the other hand, you can be pro-pervasive-government-regulation-of-the-bodies-of-breeding-age-women.  Those are the options, BobK—“pro-abortion” doesn’t enter into it.

Laura, yea after you criticized her about 50 times. Email the mods to unban you, Christians are forgiving people, plus you have people praying for you. God-bless.

Comment #12: BobK  on  08/28  at  11:34 PM

Me!  I did!  I had a kick-ass colonoscopy!  Got it on tape and all.

But not actually cool.  I don’t recommend it, except for people who need it.

Comment #13: older  on  08/29  at  12:12 AM

I’ve had a laser in my penis.  Twice.

If you ignore the horrible pain of the surgery, and the awful recovery each time, that’s pretty cool.

Comment #14: Ferox  on  08/29  at  12:50 AM

I’ve had a laser in my penis.

Professor Xavier has an academy that can teach you to control that power.

Comment #15: FlipYrWhig  on  08/29  at  01:56 AM

FlipYrWhig: Your post is full of win, and my sinuses full of Saltines.

Comment #16: Left_Wing_Fox  on  08/29  at  01:59 AM

And now I am honestly wondering if it would be possible to install a laser in a vagina.

Comment #17: StarStorm  on  08/29  at  03:52 AM

I have laser boobs!  Pow! Pow! Pow!

(I tell my boyfriend this while aiming them, and now all I have to do is say, “Pow!” and it cracks him up!)

Comment #18: syfr  on  08/29  at  11:14 AM

Oh, we all know by now that BobK isn’t happy unless he can spend all of his time thinking about how one day he will get to control the vaginas of strangers.  It’s the only thing that keeps him alive at this point.

Comment #19: Mnemosyne  on  08/29  at  12:19 PM

Yeah, come back to the dark side, beast! Room for one more….and it makes us feel so GOOD to ban someone who threatens to show us how profoundly, dysfunctionally stupid and evil we are.

Comment #20: Well, what?  on  08/29  at  01:07 PM

I had a pilonidal cyst removed.  It kicked what was left of my ass.  I spent three weeks standing or laying on my face because I was “lucky” enough to have an excision site narrow enough be stiched closed.  Amazing scar.  I keep trying find an excuse to show it off but people seem to react badly when I say “You should see the scar from my ass-ectomy!”

I did have seriously cool arthroscopic procedure performed on my left shoulder.  Stupid snowboard accident.  The MRI, the pictures from inside my body and the pain relief all added up to 6 million dollar man doubleplus good.
The only drawback was the unbelievably large needle they used to insert (and I do mean insert, not inject) the gallium dye prior to the MRI and how this enourmous needle-pipe clicked around between the bones in my shoulder.  I did find out that a large enough dose of xylocane not only deadens pain but makes you feel like you just did a line.  Not that I have ever done any illegal drug, I read about it one time, in Canada.

None of this beats Ferox’s incredible double-lased penis but it’s what I got.

Comment #21: CWD  on  08/29  at  03:11 PM

I didn’t get to see any pictures of my lasered-up penis.  I think you win, CWD.

Still, we can all agree: sometimes surgery is cool.  But not abortions, which are no longer cool.

Comment #22: Ferox  on  08/29  at  03:25 PM

Abortions? Feh. So 2003.

Tonsillectomies are the new trend this season. Everyone who is anyone has one.

In other news, Jill Stanek is still loony.

Comment #23: maatnofret  on  08/29  at  03:49 PM

BobK on 08/28

Someday I hope to be cool enough to have people spending otherwise productive time talking to their imaginary <strike>friends</strike> sky daddy about me.

Until then I guess I have to ask my doctor about getting that penis laser installed.

Comment #24: cynickal  on  08/29  at  04:00 PM

Dammit, Freud was right.  Now I have penis laser envy.

Comment #25: keshmeshi  on  08/29  at  05:20 PM

Damn. I didn’t get any pictures from my cystoscopy. I am a loser. Can I get another one to be cool?
