Well stay on your butt, click the button and watch it which you likely already have but don't want to admit to it.

I have doubts that he's for real gay myself. He's obviously exaggerating, though that's to be expected, since no one would get it if it were subtle.
I didn't really think it was funny, though the idea of people gluing leaves to their crotches is kind of funny. :lol:

I do have plans to maybe purchase the rights to this video and air it in my area featuring the Adam & Eve fragrance collection and for viral marketing reasons online. It is for autism and DD employment.

No. I'm Not Christian.

27% 3

One or more of the people voting this way are potentially really a Christian at least mildly or very sincerely who want to make the public think this type of depiction is not ok for non-religious folks to find funny. In a blind test for reasons of psychological and social study I'd pay participants to do the following.

1. fill out an explicit survey before preview of unsaid material stating religious preferences and life experiences with religious groups with references.

2. Ask questions based on after viewing this video immediately after then 6 months later.

After study and public display.

1. Upon public reaction I would release a statement about how some religious groups are making people with autism feel persecuted for a prenatal test for autism so to stir public debate and begin a potential healing process.

2. Fully separate groups advocating against cures for autism symptoms, prenatal testing politics and autism abortion issues in general from social service and in general quality of life improvement politics for individuals with autism to protect the publics minds from being taken advantage of by unknown entities and special interest.

I was thinking the same thing the whole video! I want to live there.

But I thought it was a pointless video regardless of my religious veiws.


It's a good thing for marketing reasons that locally so far no one has not laughed and when they laugh it is more then a little and usually moderate to major laughing. Then as I have been able all so far upon mentioning the video laugh about it and some behave then like the actor in the video to tell others about the video and then laugh about it again and make others laugh.

That's a bit presumptuous - I'm not religious and I didn't have a religious upbringing. I'm rather indifferent to the video - I don't find it inappropriate or offensive in any way, I just prefer more subtle/refined humour.

And I usually like comedians or writers targeting taboos, at least those who do it in a challenging way not just for the sake of it.

Yes for sure but the video typically would not be allowed by the media because people find it insulting. So how in a free country can we be free in America if everyones sense of humor cannot be facilitated for. If I asked and in a special way I am sure T.V would air it. Possibilities are possibilities that's part of science and so thus the control study.

I agree with you here - I find it ridiculous that something like that would be censored, it's completely inoffensive in my view. I've seen a lot of over the top or tasteless humour on TV that would make this video seem innocent and at least where I live nobody makes a big fuss about it.

Taking oneself or one's values too seriously is dangerous and can make one lose perspective methinks.

Yes but that could be for political reasons now. A person not subject to this conversation may laugh more often or find at least special interest to the ad for the portrayed skit.

Once I showed the vote examples all additional votes were for that example with numerous responses to deflect my theory so it points to the subjective bias theory in context. This is not scientific and now is further biased. The conversation cannot derive closer to absolute findings like a control study and a real market employment result.

I don't get it.

Also it seems less like he's gay and more like he's mentally challenged...

It doesn't have anything to do with autism. People are going to miss the point.
