As if you didn't know....... I have posted off my entry form and now have six months and four days to get ready....... for what I hear you ask.... well, if I get accepted it's THIS. Fool am I!!!!
But, not to American News (ok, this is worth it.... really!!!!).
For those of you are are against big corporations, for what ever the reason, head to JibJab.com where they have brought out a new short cartoon called "Big Box Mart" it's very funny, and includes the faces of 1000 JibJab fans..... they came to prominance during the 2004 US Election with the cartoon "This Land, in which animated versions of Bush and Kerry exchanged lively verbal jibes such as Kerry being called a "liberal wiener" or a "pinko commie" and Bush being described as a "stupid dumb ass" and a "right wing nut job"...... and was seen by over eight million people in it's first week!!!
Also from ABC News is the story that 'American Girl' manufacturer of a set of highly popular dolls in the US is being targetted by conservative activists with boycott as they contribute to the youth organisation 'Girls Inc.' which runs educational and empowerment programmes for girls, who's mission statment is to "inspire girls to be strong, smart and bold."
What's wrong with all that you may ask....??? Well, Girls Inc. also supports the 1973 Roe v. Wade court ruling allowing a woman's choice on abortion and also supports a girl's right to have access to contraception and pledges support for girls dealing with issues of sexual orientation. And for that they are evil, evil I tell you!!!!
In the attempt to be unbiased, here's the site of the AFA - American Family Association and what they think. (as you can guess, they're for the bycott)
Here's the site for the I CAN band that is causing the problem and the link for Girl's Inc.. they look good to me!!!
