Culture of linking

While this piece at Slate has really interesting things to say about linking the concepts of "choice" to women and "freedom" to men in public discourse, I was also struck by the very first link:

Remember that classic Far Side cartoon, the one about what dogs hear when we talk to them?  The person is jabbering away but all the dog can hear is "Blah blah GINGER blah blah blah blah  blah GINGER blah blah blah blah blah."

I have the strong feeling that's not actually Gary Larson's Photobucket account.  Inducement?
