SO MANY ANTEDILUVIAN IDEAS, SO LITTLE TIME

Tim Graham of NewsBusters is being mocked for his disgust at the fleeting same-sex image near the end of this charming Valentine's Day "Google doodle" ("Valentine's Day is a big day that gay-left advocates expect their love to be honored as just the same," Graham harrumphs, ungrammatically):





I'm surprised, though, that Graham (or some other right-winger) hasn't criticized the video in another way -- as part of "the war against boys, or "war on masculinity."

Think about it: The young man in the video does everything he can to get the young woman to notice him, and it all fails -- until (SPOILER ALERT) he joins her in the gender-stratified act of jumping rope! Yikes! The only way he can get the girl is to become the girl! It's feminism run amok!!! That's what she wants him to do before he can be her guy! That's what she forces him to do!

Argh -- I've been reading this crap way too long. I seriously believe that, if I decided to devote the time and trouble to it, I could now write a fake right-wing blog, posting boilerplate winger ideas multiple times a day, and never get caught.
