DU Survey on movies "family values"
http://www.dove.org/


While I agree just a tiny bit in principle - I distrust anything with "Dr" Laura on it - and this group is espousing WHOSE VERSION of "FAMILY" anyway?

Besides - the twit hung up on me when I started asking them questions like "whose idea of a family" and who they were, etc. . .

"The Dove Foundation review board is made up of parents who have been trained to evaluate each film or video based upon Judeo-Christian ethics."

Great. This leaves out the *majority* of people on the globe. I guess our ethics aren't good enough. And how typical of this kind of extrmist: They choose the dove, symbol of peace, to be their logo. How can we have peace on Earth with prejudiced, exclusionary people like these? Fascist bastards. I say they can rot in hell. The survey is very poorly done, btw. Written by an amateur who doesn't know crap about logic, let alone data collection and analysis.

3. And they're PSEUDO-
Judeo-Christian values at that!

They only want their right wing ultra fundie conservative version.

That's why I thought a little DU love might show them the Truth the Way and the Light . . .

:evilgrin:

2. I can guess at their opinion of Brokeback
Mountain.

4. I must say
I was surprised they still had The Spear up there. After all, the lead actor is a gay activist!

:rofl:

5. Check out their "Featured" movie and video game.
The featured movie is based on one of the "Left Behind" books.
The featured video game is "The Bible Game". I'm guessing that that's always the featured video game.
They do live in their own little world don't they?
