Click this sort of Ad to spend the “Yes on Prop 8” campaign’s money
\"Click<\/a><\/small><\/center><\/div>\n

I’m so sick of this election – I can’t wait for it to be over. That being said, as I’m surfing the web this evening I’ve been inundated with Yes on 8 advertisements spewing their hate and bigotry<\/a> in my direction. So…..I’ve decided to click the ads. Why? Because each time I click (or you click, or your friends click) it spends the money of the campaign on someone who won’t vote for it. Think of this as creative anti-contribution to the campaign.
\n
\nYahoo Sports<\/a> is rife with these ads, I encourage you to surf on over and click a few hundred times. If you like this idea, spread it around.
\n
\nUpdate: Apparently this idea has some legs, it appears to have been Stumbled and submitted to Hacker News. For the record, I haven’t advocated using bots to do this because that would be a DoS attack. While I disagree with Yes on 8, the campaign does have a right to communicate their message of hate and bigotry and a DoS approach would deny them their First Amendment right.
\n
\nBut I don’t think that humans clicking, making a conscious decision to do so, rises to the level of such an attack and certainly doesn’t interfere with their First Amendment rights. It simply bleeds money from the campaign.<\/i>
