Lysistrata was 'born' in 411 BC. While stand-ins for her appear in public and on stage regularly, the original hasn't been seen in while.
The Bobbitt's however are both alive and well. In fact today is the 20 year, 20 day anniversary of the event which brought them notoriety - June 23, 1993, 20 years ago: Lorena Bobbitt <snip> of then husband John Wayne Bobbitt in case that horrified — and fascinated — the nation
I assume the Bobbitt suggested by the bumper sticker Bobbitt is Lorena and not John.
Lorena would be an excellent candidate for office and a strong proponent of Women's Rights:
Throughout her marriage she was a victim of domestic violence. Today, Lorena no longer considers herself a victim of domestic violence. With the formation of her non profit organization (Lorena’s Red Wagon), she is now able to speak out against domestic violence. The primary function of her organization is to try to prevent domestic violence through family oriented activities.
From her organization's
website:
Lorena’s Red Wagon is a Non-Profit organization and all proceeds go to domestic violence charities
and awareness events. Lorena’s Red Wagon has facilitated numerous charitable events from donating toys, sponsoring a food drives, to speaking with neglected and abused women and children.
Helping to prevent domestic violence through family oriented activities.
John, well, no.... While some porn stars have become politicians and John's roles in “
John Wayne Bobbitt Uncut” and “
Frankenpenis” were convincingly acted, the films were hardly (sic) Oscar material. His band,
The Severed Parts, had no Top-40 hits. Then there are the later conviction for spousal abuse and the half-dozen busts for everything from assault to grand larceny. I guess his brief stint as a minister at the Universal Life Church in Las Vegas might garner some of the evangelical vote.
