Stereotype of the Month Entry
(8/14/01)


Another Stereotype of the Month entry:

Click on Application to Date my Daughter, and check at the bottom where one would sign, and see the threat of Native American Ant Torture. Your website is spectacular and I enjoy going through it every month. I have used some of the material you have provided to send to educators to help them grasp the issues. Thank you for providing these services.

Application to Date My Daughter
[formerly at http://www.funstun.com/application.htm]

I SWEAR THAT ALL INFORMATION SUPPLIED ABOVE IS TRUE AND CORRECT TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE UNDER PENALTY OF DEATH, DISMEMBERMENT, NATIVE AMERICAN ANT TORTURE, ELECTROCUTION, CHINESE WATER TORTURE, RED HOT POKERS, AND HILLARY CLINTON KISS TORTURE.

Rob's comment
This is an obvious variant of the Savage Indian theme. The mention of the "Chinese Water Torture" and "Hillary Clinton Kiss Torture," as well as the sexist implications throughout this "application," suggest the company's conservative bias against women and minorities.
