Imagine the Potential

It might have been this Super Bowl's Orwell/Apple 1984 commercial. Instead, NBC refuses to show the advertisement and the big-media muzzle becomes a new-media megaphone. See the commercial NBC doesn't want you to see--and I'm not talking about the obviously deceitful ad that claims that lethargic, emaciated, glassy-eyed vegetarians have better sex--here.

That's a great smash mouth advert. But it is ironic that they used Obama (and a good choice he was) to make their point about life when it is the Abortionist in Chief who chooses infanticide over life every time.

I was kind of looking forward to models making sweet sweet love to vegetables though.

I think 'irony' is too weak. That Obama, who before he was born was (by the criteria mentioned in the ad) as likely a candidate for abortion as any, is now a champion of abortion shows the radical incoherence of the pro-abortion position.

Cider House Rules does a good (if unwitting) job of illustrating this incoherence. The orphan-become-abortionist is only able to murder because he wasn't. The movie is a reductio ad absurdum of 'choice.' Likewise, Obama's defense of the murder of those like himself is a reductio of the pro-abortion position.

You can still see the veggie sex ad. If you dare visit the PETA website.
