Good lord! why don’t you just poke a stick in my eye!

“C’mon Gail, the kids will really be down with this! Tell you what, we’ll throw $50 at your stupid museum if you do it.”
Bomber Fan

Um, wow. There’s one way to slow down donations to the Human Rights museum.

Is there a worst rapper category on the ballot?

A 4 year-old might find this amusing, but alas they are a long way off from voting. We all have that once piece of video we regret ever doing, this is her’s.

What the Hell was that?

There’s really noting to vote for-but I know that’s not the issue. Gail would be better at “rapping” up all the costs at the Human Rights Museum then trying to be a young kid. It’s kinda cute (I guess) but it looks kind of dumb-why didn’t she just …….whatever! I’m tired of the Aspers, trying to make themselves look good at the taxpayers expense. I wonder what poor Izzy would think!

Good lord…I’m so sick of the Aspers. Yeah, I’m real sure that a young person is going to listen to THIS and take it seriously. Whoever told her this was a good idea should be fired.

This video shows what exactly is wrong….
a disconnection between old & young in politics.

It may have seemed like a larf to do, but it is actually embarrassing & funny in a bad way.
If someone else that is closer linked to the target demographic did this, it may have gotten a message out in a humorous way.

Instead Gail Asper did it.
Why say your name & tell people who you are?
What repertoire do you have with the youth?
Disguise yourself or let people guess,
get a local ‘celebrity’ that is a better match for this sort of thing………
There has been next to no positive reaction to this video and it is being ridiculed.

Who was this video really for?

What did it accomplish?
It distracted from the actual message of the campaign & got Gail Asper made fun of.

I feel that human rights were violated by watching this and would like an exhibit dedicated to myself & others that viewed the video in a museum that is to be built someday.
