There was a time when Gays were asking for Equal Rights. One of the slogans was We're not asking for Special Rights, only Equal ones.

Guess that went away.

It's as if she saved the world or something because she lost an arm to a shark and started surfing again. I just don't see that as real courage. It's admirable she overcame such a traumatic event...good for her. But I honestly see that commercial as devaluing what I consider to be the meaning of the word 'courage'.

Really, there's a commercial for that? Mmmm I had my leg amputated and no one's asking me to do a commercial. Is it gender that keeps me from getting asked. Or only people who lose an arm?
