Creepy Pro-Obama Ad Exploiting Kids

There has been some pretty creepy pro-Obama propaganda exploiting kids to deliver the message, over the years, but I'm thinking the following video tops them all. If you remember, we had this praise video, and Obama's youth brigade. Now we have kids "of the future" singing a song blaming their parents for a world where "gays can be fixed", "sick people just die", "Big Bird is sacked", that is, if Barack Obama isn't re-elected for another four.

It's produced by Rich Silverstein and Jeff Goodby (supposedly, a registered Republican) of Goodby, Silverstein and Partners ad agency- the ones that did the stupid "Got Milk?" milk mustache campaign (which I hated by the way), and other high profile ads including Comcast, Tostitos, Denny's and Ameritrade.

On their Future Children Project website, along with the black and white ad, is a statement:

Re-Electing President Obama Is A Momentous Decision That Will Require Every Single Voter.
What Would The Children Of The Future Say If We Let Them Down This November?

So Goodby's a registered Republican- at least according to Carla Marinucci of the uber-liberal San Francisco Chronicle? Right. Goodby's lyrics (see below) sound like a typical liberal, and he's probably voted Democratic his adult life.

Great job traumatizing those young 'uns, especially when another four years of Obama will ruin this country for a very, very long time.




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
We don’t have to pay for freeways!
Our schools are good enough
Give us endless wars
On foreign shores
And lots of Chinese stuff

We’re the children of the future
American through and through
But something happened to our country
And we’re kinda blaming you
We haven’t killed all the polar bears
But it’s not for lack of trying
The Earth is cracked
Big Bird is sacked
And the atmosphere is frying
Congress went home early
They did their best we know
You can’t cut spending
With elections pending
Unless it’s welfare dough

We’re the children of the future
American through and through
But something happened to our country
And we’re kinda blaming you
Find a park that is still open
And take a breath of poison air
They foreclosed your place
To build a weapon in space
But you can write off your au pair
It’s a little awkward to tell you
But you left us holding the bag
When we look around
The place is all dumbed down
And the long term’s kind of a drag

We’re the children of the future
American through and through
But something happened to our country
And yeah, we’re blaming you
You did your best
You failed the test
Mom and Dad
We’re blaming you!
