Tee off for Ta-Tas

I would like to think that people can differentiate between those who find it offensive and those who work behind the scenes to sabotage an event.

While I see referring to women's breasts as ta-ta's, or tits, or other names that demean woman by objectifying their body parts, as offensive, its probably on the same level as the insensitivity of sports teams having caricatures of Native Americans as mascots, or having a black woman dress up as Aunt Jemima, or having whites go in black-face to make fun of blacks. I see them as pretty juvenile, but much is our culture is pretty juvenile, so I just choose not to participate, and let my reasons be known.

Apparently someone decided to take their disapproval further and use their power to stop something that was never harmful. To go further than not attending or supporting something that is aimed at good just because of the name is not disapproving, it is sabotaging.
