That's what happens every time there's a discussion about defunding PBS. It always quickly heads to "What about Sesame Street and Big Bird? The children!"
"Here we go. Linda started talking about defunding PBS. I give it five minutes until we get to reductio ad BigBirdum."

Assigning blame to President Obama regardless of the context. Reducing every discussion to a debate on whether Obama is good or evil. Relating everything back to whether or not Obama is a good President.
Did you hear about that guy that was killed by the plane coming in for a crash landing? I bet if Obama hadn't changed all the FAA laws it never would have happened.
Dude. Stop hating..enough with the Reductio ad Obamaum. Not everything that happens is related to your dislike of Obama.

A common type of banner advertisement that asks a relatively moronic or unusual question, usually with two variants. These banners are usual non-dynamic GIFs or other image formats, creating the illusion of choice for the less-knowing Internet users.
Most of them also include a percentile statistic, often one that defies the question itself - if it is an opinion question. Most of these questions come from Hong Kong of all places.
