Yes, ClearChannel radio is promoting a Straight Pride parade in the wonderfully tolerant south. Isn't that cute? Wonder how they feel about White Pride? Perhaps it's time to file an FCC complaint against this station. Or at the very least, start calling their advetisers. I'd start with Kroger, Pantene, and Time Warner Cable who have ads on the station's Web site. Anyone want to volunteer to find contact info for those companies (I often check press releases on their Web sites, the media staff often puts their phone and email on the releases).

This is the man in charge of advertising - might want to let her know that you'll be calling their advertisers:

And this is the staff running the station:

1. What the hell would that parade look like?

8. Fat cow women with 16 kids and ugly men

2. fuck you clear Channel.

THis is coming from a straight guy. Every day is hetero pride day. Is this supposed to be like White Power? You fucking fucks.

3. There are so many young men and women ashamed of their straightness. . .

4. like we need one

A heterosexual pride day, god thats funny.

[terrya]

5. Oh, these people are all self-hating closet cases.

I see. How dreary.

That's the only, and I mean, ONLY, reason someone would feel so threatened about gay pride parades that they would come up with such an asinine thing as a "straight pride parade".

Thanks for the links. It's email time.

7. I find it pretty weird honest Terry

Its just as someone said above like white power, I am awaiting the White Anglo Saxon Protestant Conservative Hetero Guy march, :shrug: those people are creepy, and its the GOP base too.

6. Republicans don't understand irony or humor

This is why whenever they try to be funny, they come off as fascist, arrogant, racist, sexist jerks. (Well, they also come off that way because its who they really are, but that's another topic.)

Their counter-protests are always so stupid.

"Straight Pride Parade"s

"Affirmative Action Bake Sale"s

Its so pathetic...

Only a bunch of intolerant fuckheads can be stupid enough to feel that a majority (which they are usually in, unless you are grouping people by how they voted in 2000) is being oppressed.

I mean, really... the homosexuals in an area are having a gay pride parade. Its once a year, for maybe two hours or so. Who cares? How does a parade featuring a group that is only identified as making up 10% of the population oppressing the remaining 90%!! Its not possible.

The only reason that this rubs neocon fascists the wrong way is because they are intolerant morons.

9. reminds me of a being a kid and asking why there is no kid's day.

when i would ask my parents during a celebration of mother's day or father's day why there was no kid's day, they would say: "well everyday is kid's day"

i can't believe these people think they need to celebrate heterosexuality with a parade. i mean i have no problem with them doing it, but it just seems silly. most people are heterosexual, most adds, most celebrities, most everyone. everyday is herterosexual day.

10. Right. We're going to have a Celtic pride day.

All the Scots, Irish and Welsh are going to get together, get blind drunk and start kicking some idiot ass. How does that sound? Who's in?

[JohnKleeb]

11. I'm in

:beer: you don't mind if I am only part Irish do you? I can just say I am half, lousy German quarter, get the fuckin hell out.

[shaolinmonkey]

12. Only if you can get the Dropkick Murphys to play at the parade.

Third man in!

[JohnKleeb]

13. I think we should start a lounge thread about it

I just hope I don't get picked on for being only a quarter Celt and having a German last name :cry: it's not my fault.

[Fenris]

20. Can the French join in?

;)

[THUNDER HANDS]

14. they were originally going to have a 'I Have All My Teeth' Pride Parade

but nobody was gonna show

[bobbobbins]

15. I told my friend this...

and he sees no problem with it, or white pride parades or anything like that...he says if minority groups can exclude, then its cool for majority groups to do the same.

[Puglover]

16. So that's what your

"friend" says...what do YOU say?

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[bobbobbins]

18. Oh, i say hes been dropped on his head as a baby

[Puglover]

19. Sorry for your pal Bob...

but you're posting to this thread and would be great to hear your thoughts on it; not necessarily your thoughts on your friends thoughts.

17. Whose good with photoshop?

This sign needs some major changes for truthfulness in advertising reasons.

Something like: : "Join other Bigots like you" would be a good start.

21. i think this is hilarious

:D
