I think that advertisement should be printed on rifle stocks, hand gun grips, bazookas, and nuclear warheads, the front bumpers of cars, scary amusement park rides, and halloween candy.
I can see it now: “Well, I was GOING to use this coat hanger for a shoddy, back-alley abortion, but now that the very hanger I was planning to use has admonished me to choose life, I just feel like a douche.”
Two things come to mind when I see this-
The scene from “Dirty Dancing” where Penny has the botched abortion.
The scene where Joan goes batshit crazy on Tina in “Mommie Dearest” (which has been mentioned)
Think that about covers it
Maybe the foam cover was on there to discourage such things…right. It’s like putting Wilford Brimley’s face on a box of powdered donuts- this makes no sense.
@11: And here I was going to tell this crack added 12 year old that she should get an abortion, then saw this hanger. Now I’m going to tell her that bringing a new life into her house is a swell idea.
its funny because this is from near where i currently live, which is about 30 mins north of cincinnati, OH… now does it suprise anyone that someone from ohio would do something dumb like this?
It’s like the clarification they put on their plastic coverings “This bag is not a toy”, but more slightly subtle than “This wire hanger is not a heathen medical implement.”
#32, almost but not quite worth a drive from Detroit. At least Christine O’Donnell will guarantee there aren’t any unseemly stains on my clothing when it comes back.

Does this mean if I do choose life, I can sue them for encouraging me? (like I could sue them if the life I chose suffocated on an unmarked plastic bag)
You know, I think my DRY CLEANER should spend less time worrying about what comes in and out of my hooha and more time concentrating on getting the wine stain out of my pants. Just a thought.
Well, if the goal of advertising is to make a company or product memorable… It sure as hell worked.
I will never be able to forget about Springdale Cleaners for the rest of my life.
I always naively presumed that if people were going to do a back alley abortion, they’d bring a wire coathanger from home instead of raiding the nearest dry cleaners. Apparently I was wrong.
I hope no desperate young person reads about this coat hanger thing and thinks its an awesome idea–if you look at anatomy diagrams there isn’t a straight line from outside the body through the cervix to the fetus, in fact it is a tiny passageway that’s at an odd angle so trying to stick a coat hanger or any other straight object up there is way more likely to cause yourself severe, life-threatening bleeding than accomplish an abortion.

really bad product placement.
September 23, 2010 at 9:33 am
Yup, that should get the stain right out.
September 23, 2010 at 9:34 am
My bajingo just convulsed reading that. Then my uterus curled tighter & rocked from side to side. Damn.
September 23, 2010 at 9:35 am
It’s better than a picture of Joan Crawford beating a small girl with a wire hangar, right? No?
and yeah, I want to get into the abortion debate with the people that get the semen stains out of my prom dress.
September 23, 2010 at 9:35 am
Oh god, that creeped me out. Which is not uncommon for this site so I’m not sure what I’m bitching about.
September 23, 2010 at 9:37 am
Oh my god. That’s so abhorring that it’s brilliant.

I question whether the marketing people are evil or if they are actually brilliant.

You know, things that actually kill people.
September 23, 2010 at 9:39 am
HAHAHA oh my god. That’s amazing.

September 23, 2010 at 9:41 am
Someone already beat me to the Mommy Dearest reference… what a shame.
But really, they’re just hoping to stop those On-The-Fence back-alley abortionists.

choose life on a wire hanger?! what’s next? are they going to put AA ads on the bathtub gin i get down at the speakeasy?

Other inappropriate Ad Places…
1. Eat Healthy…McDonalds
2. Save the Dolphin…Bumble Bee Tuna
3. Crack Kills…Drywall Compound.

I sincerely doubt the people who decided to share this message with their customers will ever get the irony of where they placed it.
September 23, 2010 at 10:59 am

September 23, 2010 at 11:01 am
Maybe it’s a Pro-Abortion hanger and they meant it to read “Chews Life”.
September 23, 2010 at 11:03 am
If hanger manufacturers made them so they couldn’t be unravelled into a killing tool then there would be no need for this message.
I blame the hanger manufacturers!

September 23, 2010 at 11:22 am
this dry cleaner is not a uterus cleaner.
September 23, 2010 at 11:23 am
also… is this being directed to women by placing it on the drycleaning, assuming a woman would be picking it up?
September 23, 2010 at 11:26 am
I am just in awe of the stupidity here. I don’t even know where to begin.
My brain broke.
The Comic Sans-knockoff font I think was the final straw but I’m not sure.

The dry cleaner wants us to choose life because they know where we’re going to bring the comforter and linens after we’re done.
*I know, bad. Very bad*

#48, and the bridal gear after the shotgun wedding…
September 23, 2010 at 12:44 pm
My thought process:
Hm.
Huh?
Wha?
Oh.
Ooooh.
Ooooooooooh.
Whimper.
September 23, 2010 at 12:53 pm
…only worse ad placement I guess would be on the packaging of a Shop-Vac…
September 23, 2010 at 2:46 pm
Why does it always have to be Cincinnati? Sigh. I have to go on the record to say we’re not all like this.
