Egads! What a truly awful, cringe-worthy video! Did you post that link as a piss-take?

Seems this is everywhere all over Yuku!  I was just following some links while reading Bel's posts and profle and found the Wayseers Manifesto on a Religious (As in God, Christ etc) site.  Versatile video, everyone's watching it!

I have to second Gonzo's comment. In fact, I posted exactly the same comment, previously, on this thread, but Turin banned me for it.

Seems, its not the comment, but the person, that people are offended by, (hardly surprising, in my case!).

Enchantra,.............you say, "everyones watching it".

Well, yes, but I lasted under one minute, first time I tried to watch it. Its so awful!

I went back to it and watched it all, later, just to confirm my initial impression.

Patronising exploitative drivel, in my opinion.

Still,......each to thier own.

About the video, I admit I haven't watched the whole thing yet, either.  Maybe one day.

Still,......each to thier own.I watched the whole video and absolutely loved it.  "It's not what's wrong with you, but what's right with you."  That's the gist of the message, and one I myself have been saying for years.  What did you consider patronizing about it?  I didn't feel that at all - felt more like some positive reinforcement for anyone who moves to a different drummer.

What comes to mind is the Desiderata (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desiderata), especially the lines:



You are a child of the universe,

no less than the trees and the stars;

you have a right to be here.



...which, one must admit, is pretty sappy...however, it allowed for the creation of the quite funny satire, the Deteriorata (http://www.novasio.com/deteriorata.htm), and this version of the sap:



You are a fluke of the universe; you have no right to be here, & whether you can hear it or not, the universe is laughing behind your back.
