By now you are probably sick of my rants regarding political correctness. I have taken the stance that most political correctness has gone too far and people protest stuff just to get their 15 minutes of fame. Martha Burk is the number one offender of this. Martha or Marty as her friends call her is the chairwoman of the National Council of Women's Organizations. The NCWO is a nonpartisan, nonprofit umbrella organization of groups that collectively represent over ten million women across the United States. I think that this is overall a great organization that advocates for women rights. Since the US began women have not had the same opportunities as men and they need to be given those opportunities.
With that being said Marty deserves repeated flicks to the forehead. She is currently protesting the NHL. The NHL has started a new ad campaign called MY NHL. (If you click on the Unveiling or TV ad you will see.) She is protesting the woman in the video for being too provacative. What? Has she watched any other TV shows on basic cable. Desperate Housewives or the O.C. must be porn to this woman. Everyone in the US has a right to their opinion, but when you are representing millions of people and saying that your opinion should be the one that is heard I have a huge problem with it. Did she talk to any of her constituents before formulating this opinion. I have talked to 10 women already about this who think she is crazy. The NHL is going to have enough problems with out Marty sticking her nose in it. Marty go back and protest Hootie and the Blowfish down at Augusta National and get off of the NHL's back.

I think maybe she's protesting this ad in particular because, like The Masters Tournament, it's not the worst offender of the bunch, but it's the kind of target that will give her the most publicity.
Otherwise, she can get all her little old lady friends to lug around signs all day protesting the shampoo commercials that show women moaning in the shower, or the overstock.com commericals where a seemingly topless woman says, "It's all about the 'O'".
Wait, I think she said she's protesting the NHL's ad because at the very end there's a little boy in it, and that sets a bad example for the youth. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense, too.
