NOM Failure: Buy the domain first, guys...


Well known "conservative," columnist, and hard-core bigot Maggie Gallagher runs an organization known as "NOM." Contrary to the name, "NOM" is not for kittehs eating cheezburgers but in fact stands for "National Organization for Marriage." Their campaign uses many of the traditional stupid arguments to "fight" gay marriage. With the victories for gay marriage in Iowa and Vermont in recent weeks the NOM people decided they needed to "step it up" a notch and launch a NEW branded campaign to "save" marriage.

However, in a stunning show of ignorance the NOM folks decided to name their campaign "Two Million For Marriage" and in their own branding call it "2M4M." Yes, that's right, they named their anti-gay initiative with the acronym for "2 men for male," a personal ad code for a gay couple seeking a third for threesomes. This has invited a bunch of scorn in the media, alongside what's being directed at other conservatives for calling their "anti taxes" groups "teabaggers," again missing out on the sexual context.

In a show of complete Internet ignorance, however, NOM failed to secure the domain for their campaign, 2m4m.org. It was, instead, registered and used for a site called "Two Men For Marriage," which was built-out over the weekend and is featuring content that combats the fear, uncertainty and doubt that NOM is spreading.
