Waxing a car. Pitching a tent. Throwing a spiral. Punching a woman.

A new public service campaign aimed at fathers will carry messages like this, explaining "There are certain things only a father can teach his son."

The campaign, like two previous blitzes launched during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, intentionally go for shock value....

The campaign comes from MAN, the Men's Anti-Violence Network in Phoenix, established in 2000. This site is loaded with false and misleading factoids!
