1. In 5 or 6 years that group will be out of existence
when gay marriage is favored by 2/3 of the American public.

By 2017 anyone who was ever a part of NOM will be too ashamed to admit it. Kind of like the White Citizens Council.

2. In the electronic age that ain't surprising
Manufacturing consent and all that.

3. NOM is well known
for using stock photos and for stealing crowd shots for their site. Apparently despite their claims of "millions of supporters" they can't manage to find anybody who will pose for their publicity photos. Go figure. :shrug:

4. NOM rarely gathers enough people for a regulation soccer game.
The funniest part is that they never even bothered to remove PRESIDENT OBAMA STANDING AT A PODIUM from 'their' crowd photo. Their brains just don't work so good.

5. I wish I knew Photoshop better...
It sounds like it would be fun to create parodies of their site. Have their graphics imposed over shots such as "Golfing on the Moon", Bill Buckner missing the ground ball in the 1986 World Series, a WrestleMania ring and crowd shot, etc...
