Is this guy for real ??? How shocking ???
I agree! Ban instant oatmeal and polyester :D
but not hawaiian shirts or jumping on the bed ;)
(his deadpan delivery reinforced his sarcasm well ;) )
Denb, that post has been around for some time. It is done totally tongue in cheek.
It was actually pretty thought-provoking and insightful, for such a young person.
that vid was a joke
you can tell near the start by his comments on America being a theocracy with only one religion (which is not true) followed by the jest against old people and infertile couples not being allowed to be married - much less that silly comment about being around tall people will make one tall too. ROFL He also says that there is proof that homosexuality is a contagious disease, and I know I have been in "discussions" here about even the validity of a "gay gene", so if there's no proof of that kind of gene there sure isn't proof of being gay as being contagious.
finally saying that straight parents only raise straight children (with a questioning lilt to his voice too) was the give-away (if the theocracry thing wasn't) that the kid was joking in this vid.
didn't you notice that Ann's IRONY meter was registering very high! :D
Yeah, IRONY indeed, and that the kid will most likely end up being the leader of the free world, I hope that doesn't happen in my life time ???
They guy is cute and clearly being satirical/ironic.
Huffingtonpost.com recently wrote about ChristWire.org, which are also doing satire but apparently some real conservatives actually fell for it and thought they were for real.

Poe's Law:Matty: That is profound ;) ;D :D 8)
Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing.
MtD
well, they you go! I'm always saying that emoticons are useful ;) :D
Matty: That is profoundof course it's profound, it's not anything MTD actually said.
of course it's profound, it's not anything MTD actually said.
That's just him quoting someone else. :D
But, leave it up to Matty to quote something that profound. His depth of understanding is amazing.:D so you say.
:D so you say.
I see you couldn't stay out of this one either. :D I wasn't even talking to you and I'm sure matty is old enough to take care of himself. but if you want to stir up things even more go ahead. :D
I actually saw it a few weeks back on FB and posted it on my page there. Even my straight, but gay-friendly, friends liked it and saw the creator of the video's real intent - which was to show the ridiculousness of the stigma and discrimination against gay people.
I MAY be forced to share that on facebook :o
It is a very cute video , I LOVE it ! :)
Weasel
P.S. I LOVE sewer pumps too !
That reminds me I have to go to Home De Poe' today :D
:D so you say.

OK let me get this straight, and please correct me if I'm wrong..it's OK to be rude to someone as long as we put up a smiley face..if so then it's OK for me to say this... you leatherman are a rude and despicable dickhead.. :D.
Sorry Ann...couldn't help myself.
Yes I know the rules Ann and I've taken the warning on board.
Hugs
