Supreme Court Outlaws Death Penalty For Child Rape

The Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision on Wednesday derailed the efforts of nearly a dozen states supporting the right to kill those convicted of raping a child and said execution was confined to attacks that take a life and to other crimes including treason and espionage.

In his majority opinion, Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote “the death penalty is not a proportional punishment for the rape of a child,” despite the horrendous nature of the crime.

But what if it were your child? Would you feel the same?

If you think the culture war is fought in courtrooms and political arenas you should think again. This commercial for Heinz leaves no doubt where the company stands on the homosexual marriage issue.

The ad features a “homosexual family,” referring to one of the men as “Mum” or “Mom.”

This ad is currently running in England (where homosexual marriage is currently illegal), but I wouldn’t be surprised to see it on US television before long. Now that Californians are getting ready to vote on the issue of homosexual marriage this is exactly the sort of thing you’ll see from companies that support that agenda.

If you support this then do nothing. It’s already happening.

If you do not support the decision by Heinz to get involved in this issue then there are a couple of things you can do:

  • Make a phone call to Heinz. Their corporate headquarters’ phone number is 412-456-5700 and their toll-free number is 800-255-5750.
  • Send an email letter to Heinz. AFA has made it easy to send an email by filling out a simple form right here.

I personally love Heinz ketchup, but I will now be switching to a different brand. Hunts maybe?

Pop Critics Looking For Writers

Most of you who still visit this site know that I started a new site called Pop Critics and that I spend most of my time writing over there.

Well, I wanted to let everyone know that Pop Critics is actively looking for more talented and enthusiastic writers who can tackle some of the things we’re not already covering, or perhaps contribute new points of view to television shows or subjects we are already covering.

The truth is, Mike and Jason (myself) are only two, nearly mortal, people who work full time jobs and have families to take care of outside of Pop Critics. We can only cover so many topics and review so many books and CDs and movies and recap so many television shows. But we know that many of you are ardent enthusiasts of your favorite reality or scripted television show and you would love the opportunity to write about it on a regular basis. Heck, maybe you already do write about a TV show on your own blog but just haven’t found the audience you’re looking for. We can help. Pop Critics can put your article in front of thousands upon thousands of people every day – people who will read your article, respond to your opinions, and maybe even visit your site.

We’re looking for people to cover all sorts of Pop Culture topics here at Pop Critics so drop us an email and let us know what you’d like to write about. If possible, include or point to some writing you’ve done previously so we can make sure you can write in English. Even if you’d just like to submit a single article, contact us and let us know.

There are a ton of shows coming up this summer on TV that we’d love to have recaps for, but Mike and I simply don’t have the time to cover them. Reality shows like The Mole and Last Comic Standing are sure to bring in tons of readers. You could be the one giving them the information they want and need! Those shows don’t interest you? That’s okay! Pick a show, any show. What’s your favorite show? You can probably right about that. Or maybe you’d rather write about books, or music, or even celebrity gossip. We’re open to new ideas even!

Please note that we might not be able to respond to each and every request due to the number of people contacting us. However, I can tell you that your chances are greatly increased if you actually use proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation – even in the email you send us asking to write. So make sure you put your best foot forward. Oh yeah, and make sure you’re at least 18 or older because we can’t accept writers younger than that.

Keep in mind that we have high standards here at Pop Critics. But don’t let that stop you from contacting us! We want to hear from you! Unfortunately, we can’t offer monetary compensation at this time, but if you’re looking to get your name and/or writing out in the public eye there isn’t an easier or better way to do it. Pop Critics is growing fast. Don’t miss your chance to get on board early!

If you’re interested you can visit our Write For Us page and fill in the contact information or you can visit our Contact page to get our contact info.

You can always drop us an email at one of the following two email addresses:
mike@popcritics.com
jason@popcritics.com
