Childless or just Evil? This news channel asks the important questions.

Check out this horrendous advert from an Australian news channel about ladies who dare not to want children. (thanks to dingogrrl for the link. Wow. The sinister voice over really gives it that extra something. I sense some highly selective editing going on here in the quotes used...

-_- yeah how DARE they not wanting children! Don't they know that's their only purpose in life?!

A+ gif choice there <3

As dingogrrl said, where's the programme about MEN choosing not to have kids?

[sighnomore.livejournal.com]

Excellent question. I'm a bit disappointed with Australia :/ They're usually quite awesome.

My other half thinks this cant be real and its tongue in cheek to draw people in.

Been trying to work out if 7news is considered a right wing channel. Really want to see this show just to know for sure.

I did wonder because it is SO ridiculous, but dingogrrl reckons it's par for the course for network telly there so I really don't know. It's certainly tapping into what a lot of people think about women who choose not to have kids :/

The full report is up, can't tell the angle yet though.... It seems quite even-handed so far. Their quotes in the trailer are SOOOO out of context though.

Yes, I'm getting a strong vibe of 'group of women who want to ban all children,' from that video.
