Maybe the pictures seemed like a good idea at the time with good intentions, but maybe not. So what, there's no reason to get so pissy! Find something else worthwhile to get your panties in a bunch over. Sheesh!

Take the pledge. You would look good with a white ribbon on.

Comment by Michele on November 17, 2010 at 2:19am: Well said rik. Thank you.
In addition, I would think that the use of the image is unauthorized and should be removed for that reason alone.
I thought I fully supported the Chicago Women's Health Center but now I have to wonder. Violence is not funny.
And, frankly, speaking of images, I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the symbolism of two locks forming a heart. Whatever it means is rather depressing for Sadie.

A few counter points to your comment,
a. In other words you approve the image.
b. Where ever the image came from can not justify it's use. (unless you live in a cartoon world)
c. Disney in NOT a sponsor nor would they use it isolated in any promotion.
b. Disney does not require any one to use that image.
e. The Sadie Hawkins site would work perfectly well with out it.
f. It serves no useful purpose other than to trivialize violence.
g. The only question left is why keep it and draw dishonor on yourselves and onto the real sponsors and Chicago Women's Health Center?

See Look; It can easily be removed, just like i did from this post. Give it a try. If you need help with the code just ask help.

Hi Rik,

Sorry if the image offends you, but you'll have to take it up with Disney. Its a scene from a child's cartoon based on the Lilo and Stitch movie, of Lilo pouncing her best friend Myrtle. We had another concerned citizen ask about this as well and have hugged it out via email. Please bear in mind, us volunteers who are working REALLY REALLY HARD to make this happen need some comic relief now and then.

Rest assured, there is no condoned violence at Sadie Hawkins, boy-girl, girl-girl or otherwise. (That said if a team were to emulate our Lilo gif on the ride, someone might be awfully tempted to dish out MAD style points.)

Any organization that thinks this is "ok" or "just funny" is mentally and morally deficient and should not be supported.
