Bad Grammar is Bad.

I saw a commercial for Adoptions from the Heart when I was watching TV the other night that greatly alarmed me.

So fade in (Aren't I hip?) to a voiceover discussing how giving up your baby for adoption is one of the hardest decisions one has to make and how it's okay to do it and all that smooshiness. But the visual image accompanying this moving speech is a woman TEXT MESSAGING her baby's daddy. (Okay, I'm assuming it was the dad and I'm also saying woman even though I kind of think it was a teenager, but they never showed her face and I don't want to make any generalizations about black teenage mothers and massive infertility in 2027 and such.)

Any way, the text messages were like "where r u?" "we need to talk," "im putting the baby up for adoption" She tells the dude via TEXT MESSAGE with bad text message grammar and punctuation that she is giving away their child. This organization is stressing the importance and seriousness of adoption and they show the decision making over text messages?! If you ever tell me important information via text or email at least show me some respect and fucking capitalize and punctuate it please.

Okay, so I just looked at the site (while at work so who knows what they know think about me) and you can watch the commercial online! It's the Tom commercial. Enjoy!
