ACLU Gonzo Ad in NYT

The ACLU took out an ad on the Times' web site today, the basic conceit of which is that Habeas Corpus is a little cartoon dude who doesn't look too happy. The little guy's been kidnapped and you're looking at the side of a milk carton showing some basic info about his last known whereabouts. Here's a pic from the ACLU site (habeas.gif):



The incitement is to a letter-writing campaign to congress urging our -persons to get on that shit and start looking for Habeas Corpus. The cuteness doesn't stop there, though. The site also refers to Habeas Corpus as "Habeas," as though he were a little tike. On the playground they probably called him Habe for short or teased him occasionally by calling him "Habe-ASS." A quiet little green kid, a little troubled, but generally well-behaved and likeable. That is, before he was kidnapped and molested by some pervy old guy whose web cache, as it would later be shown, includes lots of Google Images searches for "Constitutional Rights Nude," and "Due Process Naked."
