Ali Hogg is at it again.

Screaming and shouting outside a church telling the patrons inside to "Shut the f**k up".

This woman is becoming an embarrassment.

How boring that their video's gone offline for a while. I wonder if it'll return soon... it looked expensive.

EDIT: And it's back. Blockheads! x

I knew watching that ad would make me angry. But I watched it anyway... *sigh*
It's condescending and makes me furious. And why are men and women being referred to as 'boys' and 'girls'. It almost seems targeted at children.

I'm glad they made that. Now I'm just waiting to see when the next primary school wedding will be. When one boy and one girl decide to fall in love! And the colour scheme is perfect: patronising pink and bullshit blue!

I just emailed them this letter:
Hi,

I am aware of the Marraige Act as it currently stands, but I am at a loss of where children are mentioned? I watched your video from your website, and whilst it is visually appealing with cartoon people with boxes for head, I find that it is misleading... I do not understand where children are mentioned in the Act, nor the purpose of legally committing (note the lack of religion) to a relationship where children are the final result?

My own widowed 83 year old Grandmather married a man - when she was 83! How is their non-religious union going to bear children... there will be no more little 'boy and girls - with blocks for heads' happening there - she can harldy walk!! I'm sure there isn't too much mattress dancing happening there...

I would really appreciate an answer to these questions! You seem to be well informed as to your argument via this video - I am sure you will have something that explains the need for marriage for couples that are beyond child bearing years, barren/infertile couples, those who simply do not want block headed children (as you suggest).

Kindest Regards


(Confused as to what you actually mean)

They didn't once say 'gay' or 'homosexual'.
So the ACL is now encouraging juvenile sex?

And they didn't even mention Polyamory or the latest American trend "Genetic sexual attraction"!

This is where the "its about love" argument for marriage equality breaks down. Equality shouldn't be about love. After all, homosexuals should equally be allowed to marry for money, political, status, immigration and cultural reasons as well.

Just so that everyone knows, the implication of making babies doesn't appear in the Marriage Act.
I'll go back now to not being able to have children altruistically.

I have seen videos like this before... back in the days when I was at Hillsong. Simple, ignorant, self-serving and non-inclusive messages neatly wrapped up in shimmering A-grade malarkey. It's the way churches and religious groups convince people these days, with bright lights and top quality video graphics. God must be sooooooooooooooooooo proud...
