I had the flu all weekend.

Watching this was worse.

I loved the bandanna tied around his leg. Nice touch.

There is not enough vomit in the world to do this video justice.

I like that the site says:

Please be Patient while Music Video loads.  
29,680 kb ( Very Large for absolute quality. )

Abolute quality? I think you guys need a bigger file.

P.S. Knee-jerk bleeding-heart liberal that I am, even I was offended by the constant flag desecration.

At first I thought it was going to be a Weird Al video.

It takes me forever to see anything on QuickTime because it keeps pausing, but a few seconds were more than enough.

Brings a tear to my eye, a lump to my throat, and a sick feeling to the pit of my guts.

Does that video take itself seriously? I mean, he is so over-the-top bad, it’s hard to believe it isn’t on purpose…

I don’t think that 29,680 TERAbytes would give that thing any quality.

I’m not sure which is scarier, the idea that Jesus is and American…or that he turns out to be such a bad dresser with such a lousy haircut.

I got to the chorus, and then fled back to the safety of my rockstation. Ugh, I’ve never liked glurge, for whatever country it’s batting for.

Even scarier, the guy at first looked like Alice Copper to me, and I caught myself wondering what had happened to have him make such tripe :eek: Thanks to **MisterThyristor** for ferreting the real name of the ‘singer’.

Alice Cooper, huh? I had him pegged for Brian May, and there was much pity in my heart.

Man. I kept thinking that _had_ to be a parody. I mean, nobody would do something like that _seriously_, right? I was thinking: military people – check, firefighters – check, multi-racial children – check, angels… can’t forget _them_ – check… Then I went to the homepage and found out the dude was _on the level_! Stunt coordinating for Star Trek must pay pretty well, since he had plenty of dinero to waste on that shit. I’m sure it must have cost a pretty penny to make. Somebody needs to tell him that just because you can _afford_ to do something, doesn’t mean you _should_ do it!

**homebrew** --maybe he’s Steve Perry’s not so talented cousin from Jersey.  
(apologies to Steve).

**Dr. J** —LOVE your version. And it is eery the way he really does seem to be saying, “fuck yeah”…so much for MY ability to read lips!  
I am intrigued by the strange winged creature that appears to eminate from his body–it looks like Tinkerbell on steroids.

My, I didn’t know that angels had legs.

I didn’t make it to the end the first time–does it really show W in a cloud above the singer’s head?  
Gack.

No. In the original is a Right Stuff style line of military, police and emergency personnel.

At about the 2:00 mark, there are a slew of silouetteed angels flying about that remind me of [this video](http://www.rathergood.com/gaybar/). Of course it means I’m warped that the two images relate in my head.
