I wish "Boys say no to girls who diss Palin" held more force though.

"Girls say yes to boys who say Obama and also wear skinny jeans and have scruffy hair and buy me Stella Artois while I crochet an adorable bong cozy."

That's why Williamsburg is the STD capitol of Brooklyn.

I'm as big a fan of pointless, pseudo-intellectual BS as the next guy (sorry was that sexist?) as the next human person, but really? Maybe you ought to go out and try to get some real jobs where you actually have to, you know, work for a living. Then you wouldn't have as much time to devote to thinking about nonsense. This post makes about as much sense as a $74,000 shopping spree at Nieman - Marcus.

A fist through the wall? It's a poster. A dumb, silly poster that very few people will pay attention to and exactly nobody will obey. It's pretty hard to find serious sexual politics on it. Ms. Hepola seems to be the only one who took the poster as the joke it was intended as.

woman I know was seriously offended when this was a slogan of the anti-Vietnam war movement.

No thank you.

People of course have the right to say whatever they want, and I won't censor those who think promising sex is a good way to convince people to vote. But that would certainly not convince me; I find the idea quite the opposite of what I would like politics to be. Unless this is meant as a joke, I'm against it.

GIrls who favor Obama are easily conned and they will swallow anything.

In other news, sales of Obama buttons to young men have quadrupled in the last 8 hours!

The republicans are at a disadvantage in this contest since republican women never have sex.

The irony is dripping if you go back and read Rebecca's earlier ode to the Obama boys.....

Adorably retro-chic or obnoxiously retrograde?

Neither. It's simply not clever.

Next.

It’s not smart or cute. It’s just a bad copy job. I’m sort of annoyed to see it get any attention at all.

Honestly, as a young woman I don't have any huge problem with this poster...it's a joke with a political subtext, not vice-versa. What bugs me is that anyone could still be swayed by this sort of thing, at this late date in the election cycle. Who are these undecided voters? (we know they exist because they've steadily been coming over to the Obama camp in the last few weeks) And how can they be having trouble deciding between to such radically different candidates? The sexual politics of this poster don't bother me as much as what it says for our national intelligence. I sure as hell wouldn't say yes to any boy who thought about changing his vote over a piece of advertising.

It's so tiresome & boring, to blow a load in a chick, you have to do something deemed worthy & then have to continue to make payments to maybe get a chance to do it again. Prostitutes are a wonderful thing...a single transaction cost.

Is there another way? I mean, is there ALWAYS a transaction involved with the man giving something to the woman?

Looking at the poster, I'm challenged to see the sexuality in it. I ask honestly, is the sexism just in the act of a woman saying yes? Is that the implication here? That without any other clarifying noun or adjective, if a woman is saying "yes", it MUST be about sex? Please understand I don't read sexuality in the poses of the ladies. I don't see it in their expressions or their clothes or the setting. Is the only connection to this reprehensible sexuality then the act of agreeing to something?

I reject that sexism.

If anything, on the face of it I see 4 hipsters that have a positive reaction to politics. I see 4 ladies, of diverse tastes, I don't reject that someone may imply sexuality, and that is to be expected with any ambiguous statement. But really? Is that where the stand is being made?

I admit that I had never seen the Joan Baez version. And how many ignorant peeps like me, have never seen that version, have no preconceived notions, are going to read sex into that poster? Sigh. Probably a lot. Sex dominates our thoughts to the point where the eternal optimist in us immediately substitutes SEX as the topic to any ambiguous answer or question.

Yes? (Sex. Yes?)

No. (Sex? No.)

Hi there. (Hi there, want sex?)

Huzzah! (Sex? HUZZAH!!)

Obama. (... I don't know what you are saying about sex.)

So what happens when we aren't thinking about sex, primarily. What happens to the message of the poster if we ask ourselves to not resort to SEX as our first thought?

It's a JOKE!!! For Christsake it's a JOKE.

Please let me explain. These women are not really going to have sex with every boy who says Obama. They will not get sore. They will not get papillovirus. They will not get pregnant.

It is a JOKE!!!

Then I'm all for it. When I took U.S. Women's History, my professor broke it down to basically, 20% of those who can, do. By that, I mean vote. I found it appalling. I know that when it comes to presidential elections, not each vote truly counts (blah blah, electorate), but you do not just vote for the new head honcho in town.

I live in California, and there are so many issues to vote over. Voting NO on Proposition 8 means a lot to me. I believe in civil rights and believe anyone should have the right to consensually marry one another. There will be county and city issues to mull over as well; Prop 8 is merely an example.

When I lived in a college town in Florida, students would drive me crazy with their ambivalent, "well, I'm only here for 4 years. But this law sucks!" They wanted to fight new laws from passing, but didn't want to lift a finger, pen, what have you, to vote against such measures.

Seriously, if a poster will get more people to the polls, then vivas las hipsteristas!

To quote a sign down the street, hanging in the door front of a Vietnamese jeweler, "Keep voting, my friend."
