Raging Grannies Take on CBS


RAGING GRANNIES SCREENGRAB X390

Raging Grannies, an activist group of women of a certain age, is taking on CBS’s decision to air an ad during the Super Bowl by antigay group Focus on the Family with a new YouTube video.

The South Florida chapter of Raging Grannies sings in the video that CBS stands for “Corporate Bull Shit.” The group goes on to say the network is run by hypocrites who will take $3 million from “Right to Life, but won’t give a voice to women’s choice.”

The Raging Grannies group has been active in campaigning against Proposition 8 in California and Florida’s gay adoption ban.
