VoteVets.org Thought This Was A Good Idea?

This blog is not one to shy away from bad puns, sophomoric jokes or things that are generally in poor taste. But VoteVets.org may have gone too far with this one. In their new spot called "Escalation", they make the case against sending more troops to Iraq.

The spot features veterans holding up their right hands while saying "On one hand, etc." When we get to the point where someone says, "on the other hand" they feature a vet who no longer has his left hand. The man even gestures with his arm in a way that seems to say, "hey, look, get it?" Meant to be shocking, but comes off as a bad joke that demeans both victim and viewer.

See for yourself.
