Fun with randomly-generated slogans/because abortion is always hilarious

A friend tipped me off to this site today, which allows you to randomly generate semi-generic ad slogans around whatever word you plug into the web site. Being the ever-politically minded activist, I decided to see what it came up with when I plugged in the word abortion. The results? Kind of amazing. Screengrabs posted below, because of a peculiarity of Tumblr I have no idea how to include them in all one post…

Ugh, this would actually work better as an anti-choice slogan, although it doesn’t *really* make senst. Note the ad for John McCain in the middle though (um, except the picture looks nothing like John McCain). This didn’t show up for any of the others — meaning maybe he took out a very, very small advertising buy for the word abortion?

It’s amazing what genius a randomly generated slogal web site can come up with. Like that monkeys/typewriters/greatest novel thing.
