Line 1:
Line 1: − − Owing to its unabashedly extremist stances, some of the the organization's efforts and statements appear self-parodic, with the various complaints posted on its [[Web site]] inlcuiding those against the retailer Victoria's Secret and the ABC dark comedy "Desperate Housewives." Line 8:
Line 6: − − In other words, the ADA's aim is the broad-brush [[censorship]] of retailers' and private citizens' protected [[First Amendment]] [[rights]]. It can be easily and sensibly argued that to censor some forms of [[pornography]] in the name of the [[Bible]] is hypocritical, since [[scripture]] includes various detailed accounts of unbridled sexual activity, including [[rape]], [[incest]], and other activities which today would classify as [[sex crimes]]. − − == Views on sex == − − The ADA operates under a heavy burden of [[denial]], preferring to believe against all reason that sexual curiosity and urges are not a normal part of healthy human social, physical, and psychological development, most notably in the [[teenage]] years. It has escaped the group's attention that the Biblical figure [[Jesus Christ]] did not, in fact, implicitly or explicitly condemn [[sexual behavior]] in any guise. − − Colloquially, the ADA's spokespersons, to be charitable, are "prudes," and probably meet the criteria for being [[sexually repressed]]. The group holds that [[masturbation]], [[homosexuality]], [[premarital sex]], [[sexual imagery]], [[homosexuality]], the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, "Grey's Anatomy" (the [[TV show]], not the esteemed medical reference), and [[homosexuality]] are evils to be swept under the rug where they cannot be obliterated by dint of bellyaching. − * [http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/features/2007_swimsuit/ S.I.
