Remember: something something something TERRORISTS!

I got an e-mail from my work today, telling us about an upcoming college event with a guest speaker. The headline was "THE ATTACK ON CHILDREN". The focus of the event was informing the public about Child Abuse. I capitalized "Child Abuse" because it deserves that kind of recognition. This blaug is not joking about Child Abuse.

What is a joke was this byline:

"CHILD ABUSE is DOMESTIC TERRORISM!"

Really? Does everything have to be compared to terrorism now? It’s getting ridiculous. If they're not comparing something to terrorism, they're telling you that you are supporting it.

Do you buy drugs? YOU’RE SUPPORTING TERRORISM.

Are you not with us? YOU’RE SUPPORTING TERRORISM.

Do you have a problem with us reading your emails? YOU’RE SUPPORTING TERRORISM.

Have you forgotten to file your taxes? YOU’RE SUPPORTING TERRORISM.

Did you forget to take out the trash? YOU’RE SUPPORTING TERRORISM.

No wait, you just pissed off your significant other. But it could lead to a domestic dispute, which could lead to the police being called, and by extension that could be called YOU’RE SUPPORTING TERRORISM.

P.S.: I have to thank my coworker/Ubuntu buddy for the idea for this blaug. He's the one who actually pointed out the terrorism comment.
