4. most sites don't have total control over what ads appear

i think most ads on this site are done by Google

read this story for a little more info:

5. I've seen threads locked for less offensiveness

I'll say no more

6. I love that ad, for a very strange reason. It reminds me of a chat with my dear ol mom...

I had been having some problems in professional dealings and was somewhat hurt at being called a ball-breaker. (If you expect a man or men to do what they are supposed to, you hold them accountable and you happen to be female, this sometimes happens). One person who joked about it was a dear friend, so I took it to heart and REALLY did some self examination to see if I was being too rough on people.

Much self evaluation and still failing to see where I had been out of line, I called dear ol mom.

"Mom, am I a ball breaker?"

Long pause...

...
...

"Well, dear, yes, but only when it needs to be done."

So, I might just get me one of those HRC nutcrackers and put it on the mantle next to Mom's picture. Mom would get the reference. Maybe her shade would get a kick out of it.

7. That's a cute story

I guess being a ball-breaker isn't always a bad thing!

12. If you wanna make an omlet...

;)

10. I don't accept the premise that "ball-breaker" applies only to women.

I take the phrase to mean anyone who is overly persistent with you or trying to sell you a bad deal. Cartman uses the phrase in this context many times.

"Hi Larry, I got some foetuses to sell. How much can you give me?" (undecipherable answer) "Oh Larry, you're breaking my balls."

23. Actually...

...it's anyone in the position of power and ruthless about using it.

Ballbreaker and nutcracker have been in common use as an insult to strong, assertive, achieving-or just plain aggressive, controlling and bitchy-women for many, many decades preceding the South Park cartoon.

It's usually reserved for women who make men feel emasculated.

8. I just ordered one.

Can't wait...

[havocmom]

13. Was thinking my RW brother need one for Christmas

:rofl:

[TreasonousBastard]

11. This is the third thread I've seen tonight on this, and...

I find the outrage fascinating.

I think I'll order one. Just to see who I can piss off enough to dislodge those bugs from their asses.

[Blashyrkh]

17. Oh I get it. You didn't openly disagree when you expressed incredulity at the response.

Noted for future reference.

14. You're all out to get us!! Weapons of Nut Destruction!!

All you Nutophobes! :grr:

15. Google ads are not under the control of DU

No sense in asking why.

Google picks up on key words, thinks this is a political site but can't tell our politics per se.

The bot sees the word Hillary, and so coughs up something Hillary related. Nothing personal, really.

[Raejeanowl]

22. Then Maybe They Need to GET Control

Over what kind of advertising appears on their website.

[Matariki]

16. I think it's kind of fun.

Sort of calling Hillary 'kick ass'. Maybe I'll get one for work :evilgrin:

[Flabbergasted]

18. I'm not in the least bit offended by the Hillary Cracker and no its not sexist......

Lame and immature toy. That's all I gotta say about that.

[Kurovski]

19. The ad has five exclamation points ending one sentence.

Three is the legal limit, goddammit!!!

[Lilith Velkor]

20. It's a plot to flush out the Rushtards among us

Seems to be working.

I think it's funny, personally, but some people say I'm a sick fuck. :shrug:

[Kurovski]

24. I'll vouch for you.

You sick fuck. :rofl: :hug:

21. I do find it slightly funny, only because it is Rush O'ReillyHannity's deepest freudian fear

realized...

if she's the nominee, we should send them all one when she's inaugurated.
