		<description>@ Fred,

I knew nothing about Ogden until I clicked on your link. According to that, he appears to be against the juvenile death penalty, in favour of abortion rights and LGBT rights, and strongly supportive of civil liberties.

What exactly is the problem with him? I&#039;m not getting it.</description>

		<description>Gina,

Speaking of anti-sexism campaigns, one just started regarding lawyer David Ogden, who is could become the No. 2 to the U.S. Attorney General.

Why is Ogden so controversial?  Maybe its because of his radical pro-porn (read: anti-woman) views.  Check out this excerpt on a profile of Ogden:

It&#039;s that pro-porn stance that concerns Alliance Defense Fund special counsel Pat Trueman. As Trueman notes, criminal prosecutions is one of the areas Ogden would be responsible for.
 
&lt;i&gt;&quot;The reason David Ogden is going to be trouble is that he is a pornography lawyer [who was] prominently involved in the Playboy cases representing Playboy, Penthouse, other cases,&quot; says Trueman. &quot;[And] he has fought against keeping public libraries free of pornography to protect children.&quot;
 
In other words, he says, Ogden opposed using Internet filters. The pro-family group Fidelis picks up that argument.
 
&quot;[Ogden] has opposed filters on library computers protecting children from Internet smut, and successfully defended the right of pornographers to produce material with underage children,&quot; charges Fidelis president Brian Burch.&lt;/i&gt;

Read the full story here:

http://www.onenewsnow.com/Politics/Default.aspx?id=408602

Talk about a lawyer who&#039;d make BET founder Bob Johnson proud.

If you think Ludacris is scary, imagine him as one of most powerful judges in the land.  A Black rape victim wouldn&#039;t have a prayer standing before an Ogden.

So, using the number below, ask your Senators to vote &quot;No!&quot; on confirming Ogden as No. 2:

202-224-3121

Then, forward this info.

Thank you and keep up the good fight!</description>

		<description>Gina,

Thanks for the heads up.  I&#039;m definitely giving the Best Buy the email &quot;One Two&quot; combination.  

Why do companies insist on insulting customers like my wife and me who just shopped in Best Buy last Saturday?</description>

		<description>@ JJ sigh, If you weren&#039;t offended by ludacris&#039; lyrics and I agree  he has a number of songs far more offensive and there are a number of artists who have lyrics that offend me. But this post wasn&#039;t about them. Perhaps you haven&#039;t heard the version thatI listened to that has the distinct sound of a woman screaming in the place of &quot;B*tch&quot;  on the hook. 

This post was about people who are troubled by the association between Best Buy and Ludacris for the purpose of &quot;empowering&quot; teens. It was the easiest one to find on You Tube without a parental notice. 

I don&#039;t know why people have no problem with rap artists being able to say whatever they want to and being able to communicate with whomever they want to and then when ordinary people want to communicate with the people they give money to, all of a sudden we have to shut up and do more important things. It didn&#039;t take most people 5 minutes to write an email. If that is how they chose to spend their time today. So be it. Its our time. 

Again, people have the right to express distress when their money is going to someone they don&#039;t want their money going to promote. Just as Ludicris has the right to rap about &quot;Ruff sex&quot; and &quot;bursting&quot; women&#039;s bladders and other foolishness.

Nobody&#039;s marching on Washington, they are merely having a dialogue with Best Buy, which is their right. 

This blog is the same blog it was two years ago. It hasn&#039;t changed. If people don&#039;t like our delecate sensibilities, then they have to the right to go read every other blog on the internet. All 170 million of them... and counting.</description>

		<description>Sigh.

There are any number of songs you can complain about of Ludacris&#039; but &quot;Move Bitch&quot; ain&#039;t one of them.

The song is a road rage rant. &quot;Bitch&quot; is not directed at a woman, but to anyone who happens to be in his way on the road. 

At the very least complain about the right song.

Now if you want to complain about him having &quot;Hos in every Area Code&quot;...feel free.

But are you suggesting that because some (definitely not all) of his music is adult in nature he can&#039;t do a PSA?

So any entertainer who does anything someone considers offensive can&#039;t do a PSA?

Really?

Ludacris is hardly the most offensive rapper in rap land. On the scale of offensive he falls pretty low. He&#039;s more cartoonish than anything. There are more pressing issues. Luda and Best Buy ain&#039;t one of them.</description>

		<description>@Beverly, don&#039;t be insulted. Be invigorated :)

@hollywood Don&#039;t get into an argument with this woman. She&#039;s given you her nonsensical response. Take it higher and use her response as additional evidence of how out of touch they are.

How is Ludicris &quot;empowering&quot; to young girls. This isn&#039;t a debate about offensive music. This is about a large corporation targeting children and intentionally seeking to influence their behavior by using someone who has a history of celebrating violence against women and girls in the name of entertainment. 

I am insulted that she is comparing Taylor Marsh to Ludacris. That&#039;s the racism of low expectations.</description>

		<description>Katrina,

I can assume we did not say the same things in our email yet Ms. Prahl thought it was acceptable to send out the same BS response. I am replying via email letting her know that I do not appreciate a form email and nowhere in the email did she respond to anything that I wrote in my initial correspondence.</description>
