and JINGO was his name-O

"omg." was all he said.

that exclamation doesn't even BEGIN to convey anything about what he sent me via AIM.  as the images moved across my screen, my mind reeled under the weight of all there was to be appalled at...adam-sandler's-unfortunate-cousin, mullet...MULLET!, angels???, "interesting" editing, mispronouncing our country's name as "uh-mer-uh-kuhhhh", excessively literal exposition that bad cheerleaders wouldn't try(he sings moon and there's the moon!), the wardrobe the 80's left behind, cringe-inducing lyrics, abuse of the flag, abuse of MY eyes AND ears, turning on "heartlight" at the end...

i think the "omg" was a mild rxn, actually.  here's the link.  and yes, you need sound to fully...appreciate it.

patriotism doesn't have to suck, you know. 

i'm an erstwhile republican AND part of a family that is thrilled to have someone on active duty and even i went "owwwww".  oy, my bleeding eyes and ears.

For folks that are usually against same-sex marriage, that was a surprisingly... well, gay video. I have to immediately retract that descriptor though, because that's an insult to the gay community.

Reading the mullet dude's biography is good for a laugh though. South Plainfield, NJ indeed.

I saw it as an homage to Latin American surrealism. The sea turning into the American flag! Firefighters and military personnell walking (endlessly walking) in a cloud by his head!
