So far it seems to be working out. |

If you look at the hidden meaning, it will become clear the point they are trying to get across. | It definitely satirizes the anti-adoption movement. But it also takes aim at all sorts of targets (e.g., homophobia, religious intolerance, PC talk about kids), which made it funny to me.  |

Ari is likely correct, the site is just going after a lot of different extreme positions. Personally I had never hard of "Anti-adoption moment" before. Is that for real? |

I've also never heard of an anti-adoption movement. I'd have to say I'm against anti-adoption. I think adoption is a good thing. |
