I went to their website and its pretty funny. It lists "their successes" and my favorite from the few I looked at was they got Chuck E. Cheese's to stop airing their ads during Pretty Little liers and I have to wonder why they care. They want Chucks to be family friendly all the time but if the ad's air at a time when they shouldnt (according to the moms) reach their target audience then chucks just wasting money and they shouldnt have any reason to complain. Its just stupid.

would say European media is largely far more accepting of sexual content, we like our violent content however here in America. I think the allusion made is that only in Amercia are people going to make a big deal out of gay Archie comics (or gay teletubbies, or ...).

The Liquid Plumr DP commercial surprised me quite a bit; American television is drifting into European territory!

Well Chuck E Cheeses represents the pinnacle of pie-houses. it is healthy, fresh and wholesome; just right for a healthy family meal.

Racism against blacks and muslims in Europe is a growing problem.

Especially in France

BBC News | Europe | France tops Euro racism poll

LOL extreme minority there....but the same excuse/extension is never proffered here.

And the double standard wheel spins once more.

Ride Sally ride.

In other news, the toys r us boycott is silly, pointless, will be ineffectual overall and bunni is correct that ignorant people will destroy this country (and any other for that matter).

Good reason why everyone should have access to vote, but there are a lot of people who should not vote due to ignorance. Same reason why everyone should be able to go to college, but not everyone should go due to ignorance.

It's a sizable portion of the US population that has an issue with gay rights and not a tiny majority.

Concerning racism here in Europe, it really concerns assimiltaion. If you act right, people treat you right.

Is it really so sizable or is it just more vocal? People I talk to often dont seem to have an issue of it, I know of 1 person thats one of my facebook friends who has posted an anti-gay statement. Im sure there are others who do have issues but dont talk about it but it seems to me that its not to many. Enough to cause an issue but not a huge %
