What else is there to say? Politics aside, you really shouldn’t use kids to do your dirty work. Never mind the fact they don’t look to happy to be there to begin with.
I hereby invite you to pick the nuts out of my shit, you pathetic partisan troll.
That is all.
Ah, impartial journalism. Mwah!
Yes, yes, I know. Evil righty site. Nothing to say about the video? Personally, I find it wrong to use children in political ads or activism. But maybe that’s just an extreme notion or something.
Imagine an America
Where strip mines are fun and free
Where gays can be fixed
And sick people just die
And oil fills the sea
Is this for a timeshare?
What’s the difference between this and putting kids in car ads? Or peanut butter ads? Or ads for cell phones? Or ads for African “Feed the Children”-type charities?
I actually find it not offensive at all. They’re fucking ads. And I’m sorry your butt’s so hurt.
I’ll agree that it’s a terrible song and a terrible approach, although why you’d expect the kids to look happy given the lyrics is beyond me.
That said, the website it’s on is ludicrously frothy and I’m not buying your faux-innocent “Won’t someone think of the children?” schtick at all.
I got to the page with the story and the lyrics, but there’s no video. 'Sup with that?
To be honest, I only made it through a couple of minutes. Wouldn’t buy the album.
Bit of a leap from sucky campaign song (I assume? Did the President’s campaign actually commission this piece of shit?) to “OBAMA COMMANDS ARMY OF DEAD-EYED ZOMBIE CHILDREN!”
I think it’s cute. The lyrics tail off the longer into the song that you get, but it’s a cute concept and they sing really well.
hey hey HEY
c’mon
he’s just thinking of the children
isn’t he?
Then why are you?
Ideed. I see why the troll stuck this in the pit. Might have actually been a cute post in MPSIMS.
I find it wrong for you to pretend to be Black.
Aw. Somebody is jealous that their party didn’t think of it first. Poor lil guy.
I’m not sure his real name is “Omg”.
What parents would do that to a kid? How the hell do you pronounce it? Is it short for Omgaülbert? If that was really his name, wouldn’t he have a thread in MPSIMS about being made fun of as a kid?
I’m not buying it, until he shows us some ID.
By the way, I just thought I’d mention that there isn’t really anything controversial about the lyrics.
Although,
doesn’t seem to scan very well.
If it makes the OP feel any better, I think it’s a dumb ad. Good thing I never make any political decisions based on partisan advertising. Meanwhile, I’d like to know whether the kids were being ‘indoctrinated’, or whether they were, you know, asked to come into a studio and sing the lyrics to some stupid song.
I’m also curious as to whether the OP really agrees with the first sentence of the linked article:
I can think of lots of things I love more than brainwashing someone’s kids. Hell, brainwashing kids is maybe fourth or fifth on the list, tops.
What brought that on? He was right on target, as was the author of the article. Why are you complaining about him posting it, instead of complaining about the topic of the article, which is the brainwashing of children?
Summary for those who don’t want to visit link about zombie children?
