The win is that the campaign has now had much greater coverage via nation-wide news sites than it would have got if the ACL hadn't tried to bane it in the first place.

Christian lobby group ad complaint backfires
In Brisbane ads for gay safe sex and general condom use were pulled after public complaints. This led to a much greater volume of counter complains against the ad pulling on social media. Then it turned out that most of the original complaints were orchestrated by the Australian Christian Lobby. The ads were reinstated today.

Although it may look like a forum, this site is actually a crowd-sourced science project modelling the slow but inexorable heat death of the universe.

- About me: When ever I behave as a man I am called sexist, It seems being a male is now illegal and nobody sent me the memo. Good job as I would have told them to fuck off.

We should be MOST skeptical of ideas we like because we are sufficiently skeptical of ideas that we don't like. Penn Jillette.
