Google Bombing

[norsegirl]

There's something called "Google bombing", which exploits Google's function of categorizing websites based on the name of the link on other sites. For example, the most famous Google Bomb is for the phrase "Miserable Failure". Type it into google, go on, you'll be amused at what you find as the first entry.

Today's Google bomb campaign is as follows:

Bill Napoli

The short version is as follows... A senator in North Dakota, by the name Bill Napoli, is pushing a bill to ban abortion in his state unless the health life of the woman is at risk. The way the bill is currently written, there are no exceptions. Not even for rape, incest, or health risks short of inevitable death. When asked by the media about the fact that there were no exceptions, he gave his own version of a scenario in which a victim of rape might be exempt from the rule. Summed up in less graphic terms, the following conditions must apply:

The victim must be:
- young
- virginal
- "saving herself for marriage"
- religious
- "Brutally sodomized" (which, as several people have pointed out, won't get you pregnant, so we can't figure why this is a requirement other than that he liked saying/visualizing it)
- suicidal after the event

This would, incidentally, eliminate his own wife from the exception, as, being married, she cannot be either young or virginal. This would eliminate most nuns, as many of them are hardly spring chickens; and any rape, no matter how brutal, or how young, virginal and religious the victim, which did not include sodomy. And heaven help the girl who still has a will to live after all this. If you're not in danger of taking your own life, then you must be perfectly mentally capable of carrying your rapist's baby to term. There are words for men like this, but I have to admit, I'm too incensed to come up with any of them.

He also supports the "return" of "shotgun weddings" where an entire community will force a young couple into marriage if a man gets a woman pregnant. Because I don't know about y'all, but if I get raped and impregnated, I totally want to be forced to marry the guy, what a perfect resolution!

Anyway, the movement was started by this blog and contained therin is a link to the original article in case you want the words straight from the horse's mouth (or should that be the elephant's ass?) Feel free to participate, respond with your own thoughts on the issue, or ignore this post. I'm just doing my part to contribute to the bomb. Though with many news articles and legitimate references to this guy's name, I'm sure it will never succeed. Still makes me feel good to point out his asshattery.

To be fair.ish: He probably does have other exceptions. But that doesn't make his creepily detailed description any less misogynistic.

And hey, the shotgun wedding sex could be consensual -- because certainly teenagers are totally ready for married life! And women never get pregnant from affairs with married men!

Yes, asshattery

Middle Ages were we come. I think it's utterly disgusting. But surprised I am not. I have the misfortune to live in Texas. Still, I strongly believe that every woman should have the option to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. Just my 2 cents.

South Dakota(?) just passed a bill that outlawed all abortions.

I think it's incredibly stupid, and unconstitional, I really doubt that any of these laws would hold up to a case taken all the way to the supreme court.

Plus, what's the point of saying "Well, you can't do that in OUR state!" and then watching as the women just go across the state line to get an abortion?

Alternate Definition of "napoli"

I would like to propose an alternate definition for the verb "to napoli":

To make public a fantasy that would better have remained private.

Examples include Bill O'Reilly's wistful thoughts of Clint Eastwood and John Wayne murdering the Brokeback Mountain lovers, and most of the "humorous" material on sale at Right Wing Stuff.
