Nah.

N.O.W. wouldn't notice the ads then, either.

The Double Down is just too manly for N.O.W. to understand and thus they could never fathom it's advertising.

The double down is pretty disgusting. If they really wanna reach their target audience, they should probably only advertise on disgusting girls' asses.

From the Linked Article wrote:"It's so obnoxious to once again be using women's bodies to sell fundamentally unhealthy products," says Terry O'Neill, president of the National Organization for Women.
Maybe they can get some equal airtime and show Rosie O eating drumsticks two handed and chasing bites down with drinks of gravy from a cup as a warning of the potential ramifications of an unhealthy lifestyle.

If they're so upset about KFC paying the girls maybe the N.O.W. could throw some cash to the girls to not work for KFC. I've got to agree with Hash's YC diagnosis, the remedy is schnitzengruben.

N.O.W. says KFC is exploiting those college students even though the female students approve of it and take the money. When N.O.W. puts pictures of rallies and groups on their website aren't they exploiting the women in those pictures by using them to advertise N.O.W. and N.O.W. causes for NO compensation?

Seriously? I thought we were all finished with the feminism BS. :rolleyes:
A job is a job is a job. In my head them complaining about this is like the sheriff's office who warned parents of pedophiles who now use pedobear as their mascot.

And the point of all this is that N.O.W. is as useful and relevant in 2010 as the NAACP and other "exclusionary" organizations.

Could've sworn that hardly anyone was excluded anymore? I mean we have Gay's, blacks, women, rednecks, ne'er do wells and even immigrants working in every industry doing the same jobs as everyone else. Without problems.
I think they just want attention.

We do. The ones in these groups are the ones that can't hold down a job, don't want to work and instead want everything handed to them.

I got what you were saying, I was just saying they have no reason to exist anymore because now a days most everything is sort of balanced. So yes they are a very pointless waste of money.
But I'm 16 what do I know.

Now days women don't question it when you ask them to make you a sandwich. They just do it. That's the way it should be. I call it balance. :D

I was going to disagree, but my girl is that way. :gotme

Focusing back on all the ire directed to NOW over this, I have to say that they have a bit of a point. Giving women these jobs for their looks (face it, there probably wasn't a Japanese IQ test involved with the hiring process here - they walk around with "KFC" on their asses) could tend to increase the value we place on looks over whatever other wonderful qualities these women might have.

And while I sympathize with the idea that these girls did it willingly, I can't help but draw comparisons to a truckstop crack-addict polishing torpedos for $5 a pop. Yeah, consent is usually a notable part of any agreement, but if you're heading in the direction of the oldest profession, I'm not sure that it's as meaningful.
