Can we call that child abuse? 

And I bet they used Asian children for the cute factor.

It's no longer available.

[Opsa]

What was she saying, Swato? It won't play.

[Swatopluk]

Worse, she's singing. I downloaded it but I will not risk uploading it to youtube again. Too big to attach to a post.
I'll see, if I can make a transcript.

"Gosh, my father'll be a woman and my mother be a man" or something along that line was the refrain.

[Swatopluk]

I double-clicked the link (=> it goes to youtube itself) and it worked while not being displayed here.
The  youtube title is "YES on Proposition 8 (Prop for our kids"

[Scriblerus the Philosophe]

Ha, I voted NO on that sucker.
It's sick, but I dunno about abusive. Parents can indoctrinate their kids any way they like, and it doesn't cross the line.

[Swatopluk]

I doubt the children even know what this is all about. It sounds soooo scripted.

[Opsa]

Got it to play by hitting the linky.

No, the kids obviously don't have a clue what they're saying, but kids are used to that, so I wouldn't call it abuse.

Exploitation, I would call it.

Also, completely wrong. How would allowing gay people to marry make Mom a man and Dad a woman? It's so off truth it's funny.

[Swatopluk]

"Child exploitation" sounds so dirty, like kiddie prawn 
Not that abuse is much better 
Don't these people know that it is a communist favorite to let children* recite** the ridiculous stuff (making it even more ridiculous)

*almost down to toddler age. I do not think children at that age naturally use words like class warfare, Union of Socialist Soviet Republics, capitalist-imperialist forces etc.
**or even sing 

[Scriblerus the Philosophe]

Dammit. It passed.

edit: I spoke too soon.

They show a narrow victory for marriage equality: 52 to 48. Every ethnic group supported marriage equality...

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Lucky you, here in Floriduh it passed overwhelmingly.

[anthrobabe]

Ok Scrib-- what's the final word from out there?
I am not at home- keep missing it as the sound bites here are about our mess.


*edit
damn-- seems it has passed-- sigh
we do have a ways to go

[Scriblerus the Philosophe]

Yeah, it passed. 
BUT there's been a petition to overturn that, which I frankly support since the minority needs protection from the majority at the moment.

[Bob in a quantum-state-of-faith]

Yeah, it passed.

Rumble.

Apparently it's all Barack Obama's fault.

Sort of amusing to think The Daily Telegraph's Court* and Social Page is now more liberal than California.
Sort of.
