I am reading the November issue of Oprah magazine, which has a wonderful interview of Cindy Sheehan by the Vagina Monologue's Eve Ensler.
It ends with this quote "How long are we going to keep letting the men kill our children? I hope it will stop right now." Seems very enlightened, eh?
However, IN THE SAME ISSUE, is a 2-page ad for the military! not just any ad, it's about the slickest and sickest military ad i've seen -- it's directed towards mothers!!!!
more below the fold
i had to look at it once, twice and then check the website listed to figure out if it was a place to go for mothers to talk their kids out of or into joining the military -- it's an ad on how to talk your child INTO joining the military!
The text is as follows (on a blank background):
Your son is looking for guidance on one of the biggest decisions he'll ever make.
This is not time to find yourself at a loss for words.
Make it a two-way conversation. Get the facts.

I've been reading Oprah magazine regularly for about a year now, and usually all the ads are for make-up, perfume, clothes or food. And now all of a sudden this sick military ad in the same issue where Cindy pours out her heart about her son's military death? And her anger about how the military lied to him to recruit him???
I think action needs to be taken -- Cindy have you seen this??
