Nontroversy of the week.
Mike Huckabee's subliminal cross.
Have you all heard about this? A more ridiculous source of outrage I'd be hard pressed to imagine.
In case you hadn't heard, Huckabee is being slammed for supposedly placing a subliminal image of a cross in one of his ads.
This is a ridiculous nontroversy on two fronts.
1) The "subliminal cross" is a bookshelf. It's got a shelf and a vertical support. Freaking lame.
2) It was a freaking Christmas message in which he talked about how the holiday is about celebrating Christ. What exactly is the subliminal message here? He's explicitly talking about Christ!! OMG, if you squint, you MIGHT see a cross!! Oooooooh.
I'm outraged at the politics of outrage.
