...council passed a bill to amend an anti-homophobia grant authorized this spring. After a gay tutor in Mather House was the target of repeated homophobic graffiti last year, the council voted to allocate $1,000 from its special fund to challenge a student group to host an anti-homophobia event...
...brutal misogyny of Slim Shady--or the John Rocker-esque "songs" off Sixers star Allen Iverson's rap debut--or the excesses of slasher flicks and shoot-em-ups. But it is also an easy response. It is easy to demonize the purveyors of smut and violence when they target children--easy to muster outrage at the image of six-year-olds attending test screenings of the latest Schwarzenegger offering.

The problem, of course, is that the creators of the ads made all the wrong assumptions. First, they made the mistake of believing the target audience secure enough to endure parody. On top of that, they dared to combine the eroticization of young girls with the reduction of the father-daughter relationship into a marketing tool. And if that wasn't bad enough, they also committed another major no-no in assuming that consumption...
