A response from the Urban Legend busting snopes.com.
And a funny and brilliant "with friends like these" -esqe post on the Shovelware blog regarding this "protest". (and this is where I got the title for this post)
Takeaway quote:
Too long have the censorious, humor-impaired wings of the left—the Dworkinite penis-is-a-weapon paleoconservative wing of feminism; the beige, Organization Man policy wonks; the excruciatingly earnest shoot-your-TV neo-Luddites—been the left's public face. We need an Xtreme Makeover. More profoundly, we need to stop embracing the politics of denial and withdrawal. Show me a sharp-tongued left-wing critique, built on notions of social justice and economic democracy that resonate with the common man yet, at the same time, embraces the Coneyesque cheap thrills and vulgarian pleasures of junk culture, and I'll show you a battleplan for handing the right's self-appointed morals czars their heads. But it's not NOMDD, whose rearguard action is the thin bleat of a bugle blowing retreat: Forward, into the past!
