I'm all for discussing gender and family violence. I just can't for the life of me see how anyone could watch that advert and claim it even "leans" towards demonising men.
Heck there are enough cleaning product adverts that do, and the irony is that I have some sympathy for that complaint from Chuck and others. I just have little tolerance for fools.

The not OK campaign that says it is never okay to hit a woman clearly implies it is sometimes okay for a woman to hit a man
Chuck I don't know what planet you are on but the campaign says no such thing. Deal with it.

And another local story (not by Pat): Internet lobbyists want copyright changes scrapped.
The Government is keeping a watching brief on a new copyright law and is open to changes if it doesn't work but will not be dumping it before it comes into effect.

Upthread, there was discussion about the 90 day fire at will law hastily passed before christmas. Lo, today comes news that the kindergarten teachers are trying to negotiate it out of their contract.
However a spokesman for Labour Minister Kate Wilkinson, who steered the bill through Parliament, said there was nothing in the law to stop unions, or individuals, and businesses negotiating out the probationary period.
He said the Government had always envisaged that might occur in jobs or sectors where employers were having problems recruiting staff.
Weren't we told that the law change was needed urgently to make it easier to recruit staff?

Gepetto shuffles off to Wyoming in a wheelchair, Pinocchio's packed off to Texas. Pity, really - I'd kind of hoped they'd end up together as an exhibit in some kind of creationist museum, next to the sodomites 'n stegosaurus.
Genius worthy of repeating. Love it.

Joe, I'm hopin rectitude isn't some kind of euphemism..

Chuck, feel free to argue the underlying facts - but wouldn't you concede that the advert Ralston is bitching about does not unfairly demonise men? That's what attracted my attention.
