Chuck no, i was just attempting to write that final killer satirical post, that would bring me much acclaim and the impetus to give up my day job.

O, you mean what I just wrote wasn't very good : ( I'm sorry about that, I was just having a go.

It's not ok to say she was asking for it,
unless she was actually asking for you to buy that ticket

It's not ok to be cruel to your boy
unless of course he rips off your life savings
It's not ok to control your family with threats
Ice cream sales skyrocket as meat sales slump
It's not ok to puch a hole in the wall to show your wife who's boss
unless you're are boss of a renovation company who knows a bit of kung fu, you've just broken the head off the mallet and the guy is coming round in 30 minutes to redo the wiring.
It's not ok to teach your kids that violence is the way to get what you want.
David Tua rethinks life and backs out of lifeline boxing match for ethical reasons
..or make them feel scared in their own home
horror video rentals plummet
It's not ok to blame the drink
except if it is actually the wine that caused that stain in the new carpet
...or use your culture as an excuse for what you know is wrong
Governor general resigns post, Britain cuts all ties, returns the country to the maori people
It's not ok that police in this country respond to a family violence incident every seven and a half minutes.
statistics highlight that to fully cover the problem they should be responding every six minutes and forty seconds
It's not ok to say it only happens in certain parts of society
So be careful what you say

Despite all the scare mongering in the eighties,
it's f*cking hard to get AIDS. -
Now Kyle, I don't really want to drag you over coals for this, because I'm certain it happens everyday, but I did find it very interesting in light of your parents' respective professions. What witnessed crimes would you ordinarily not hesitate reporting to the police? What kind of message is being sent to the child when a whole swag of people are standing around watching crimes being commited?
Also just talking to a colleague (whilst having my midday cigarette inside), he reminded me of a couple of ads from a while back, one with three guys at a urinal one old coot saying
"I could've bought a Porsche for the money i've spent on grog over the years"
then some other guy with a similar sentiment adds his two cents.
Finally the more sober of the three says something about buying a new pair of boots. (following the implication of wayward slash)
Funny stuff.Another was a drinking ad with a Tina Cross along the lines of 'you should be making love to me and not that bottle', Tune was subsequently altered due to the controversial nature of the song....
Making love bad
child getting it's head whacked against a bookshelf good. -
Thanks guys, out of interest, were you guys in support of the government making smacking illegal?

Yeah, they did a bunch featuring guys being the designated driver (the one with the drunk guy sitting in the back of the car making beeping noises as they back out of the driveway cracks me up), taking taxis, giving the guy in the bathtub a pillow, all that stuff. The 'you're a bloody legend' ones. The other 'it's not okay' ads also feature guys talking about doing the right thing, working to control their own violence, or intervening when their mates got out of hand. I have enormous respect for the sheer guts that must have taken for those men.
Thanks Emma, yeah I remember that one with the guy in the back of the car now you mention it, I guess that's pretty positive unless you see yourself as the mate. That creative had his nuts screwed on right, but still fel there's a plethora of 'how not to drink' and a lack of 'how to drink' ads.
And oddly, when walking home from the pool yesterday I was passed by a bus with an AIDS campaign on the side. It featured a middle-aged woman and a slogan something like 'look beyond the stereotype'. Just sayin'.
Still concerned that no one has really discussed the situation Kyle found him in on the ferry, I feel that having good ways to deal with other's violence or discussing methods of safe intervention or protection, coud be far more useful in stemming these problems on the whole.
Should he have called the cops? the captain? Isaac Wshington?
Didn't exactly sound like the Love Boat. -
..interesting use of 'respect' there George....mana et al
