What's this?

Not disagreeing with you and don't think the billboard was a big deal.

I really just hate the "WERE WUZ THE OUTRAGE OVER X, Y, or Z" argument. (something Al Sharpton said as opposed to Donald Trump, violence against men as opposed to women, etc)

I don't think you can say violence against women and children is the same as male on male violence -- but agree with you a superhero movie where Jennifer Lawrence is a villain and is being choked is about as lame an example one could come up with. Not exactly an "action shot" from the Accused or the exchange between Wes and Sissy in Urban Cowboy.

I also agree the picture would be even a bit disturbing if it were Wolverine he had in a choke like that.
