    Really? Is it the foundation for a better life?

    I kind of disagree. But let's see what you guys think.

    Anschultz also pretty much runs MLS. AEG had ownership of five of the clubs (Chicago, Colorado, DC, New York, and San Jose) and own the Galaxy, as well as 75% of Houston.

    I'm not defending the organization, but has anyone seen anything in the ads or on Fox News directly related to the ads being anti-gay, or any of the other things they're accused of by your anti-Fox WWW site?

    They're "crazy" and "creepy" because of "the way they carry themselves"? I don't get it.

    I thought these ads were LDS-based. My Mormon neighbors seem to think that they are. Churches can't actually advertise, but they can advertise their message.

    Plus, as someone who is not at all religious, I don't find anything wrong with those ads. They actually have a decent message, unless being nice to people is no longer a decent message.

    "let's elect the retard as homecoming queen because she has down syndrome and it will make her feel better"

    "i don't want to win this basketball game, I'd rather tell the referee that the ball went off my hand in the championship game"

    "hey look at that little kid on stage at this high priced classical music concert. I'm glad I paid $200 to hear a spoiled brat play chopsticks. Lets encourage him to do this more often"

    "hey look, my dad has agressive cancer, go ahead and die because I've had a good life"

    I never see these ads, and I watch a fair bit of TV. Weird.

    That was a true story. Plus, you'll notice that the "retard" even has some non-retarded friends!

    It's a fine line between being motivational/aspirational for the viewer and coming off as condescending.
