- swordedge, on 10/11/2007, -4/+3Is NOW ever not ridiculous? Do they ever not flap their butt cheeks rather than talk? This 'is' the same organization that thinks research into the differences between men and women is dangerous at best. They'd outlaw that type research.
Also, the first word is Satire. that means NOT true!!!!
NOW is still ridiculous more often then not

- genetic, on 10/11/2007, -3/+3this is a joke right?
- FyreGoddess, on 10/11/2007, -3/+4Well, for me, it was the heading just above the headline that gave it away for me.
"Satire" - EntropyMan, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6I don't know about abolishing Father's Day in Law. But I wouldn't mind abolishing Father's Day for In-Laws. My wife's father is a moron, sorry to say.

- webloggin, on 10/11/2007, -5/+1Great article. Good humor for every male provider of pre-embryonic genetic material!
- dmegivern, on 10/11/2007, -5/+4Ahh, the power of a lie. Check the NOW website yourself. Nothing whatsoever about Father's Day. This is stupid.
- jbamb, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6Check the article again, professor, even another commenter said this... it's satire.
- valis, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2*chuckles* A similar story was making the rounds pre-Internet. A lot of people didn't get the satire then, either. This was is actually labeled as satire.
- ladyjusa, on 10/11/2007, -5/+3What the hell is the problem?Women have mother's day. They would scream if they took away mother's day. Their argument is ridiculous. Not all men are bad. These women's libers go too far.
- sbader, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Satire
- dmegivern, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5Why do people present satire as "news" without identifying it as such? Jon Stewart reminds everyone his program is comedy, not news.
- jbamb, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2Exactly what more do you want? It's in the title, the top of the page has "satire"... do you want a big pop-up that says "Hey, Dumbass!! This is satire!" that pops up every 15 seconds too?
- sbader, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Satire in the digg description might have been nice. I had to double take before i saw the satire line.
- Gribbit, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1Diggaroo
- max420, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3WTF, is this a joke?
- beavioso, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4This is sartire and it belongs in entertainment; buried.
- AnObserver, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2Good job! It's good to have a sense of humor. People are too damn tense all the damn time. Some people just don't like the idea of comedy. The world needs more laughter. A hell of a lot more laughter.
- devou33, on 10/11/2007, -4/+2Honestly, I'd rather support my mother and father all the time instead of mother's or father's day. Getting rid of one isn't right unless we get rid of both. Ha.
- dmegivern, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5To answer your question about why I want to know it is satire...if it is in the description, I will actually go to the article. If it is not, there was no way I was going to open a website and give them traffic if they were making up ***** of this nature. And this happens regularly where someone will actually put out a story like this from a real loony toon. So, I did the next best thing, I checked the organization's website and responded. Had I known it was satire, I could have had a laugh instead of going after facts. As a matter of policy, if you have posted something from a disreputable website, I won't even open it (here's looking at you littlegreenfootballs)
