motherhood as a policymaking credential
Mothers Against Drunk Driving sent me a highly manipulative solicitation today. It said "Check enclosed!" and sure enough, there was a check for $2.50 made out to me.
There was also a letter that said, essentially: This is a real check, made out to you! But we hope you'll be a good person and not cash it -- and instead, send US money! We just thought this would get your attention (and guilt trip you into donating).
I tore up the check, of course, but, really, this marketing campaign is freakishly passive-aggressive. Not cool.

Heh--I would've just cashed it, Jen. (I really dislike MADD.) They do some good work, but there are a lot of prohibitionist zealots in that organization too.
"Freakishly passive aggressive!" Nice phrase. I found you via the assimilated negro. Will keep reading ya if you keep the hot phrases coming.
