Video: NOM H8s viral vid so much, they’ll use it to raise Christmas cash

Posted on

From the first moment I saw the video in question, I envisioned this kind of response campaign taking shape:

So essentially NOM is accusing the people behind the “FCKH8″ campaign of exploiting kids — while themselves exploiting the concept of kids and parenting to raise funds. Typical. And disgusting.

But not gonna lie: Putting kids in this “FCKH8″ initiative always struck me as an unsavvy move. When objectively weighing what the kids do for the video versus what they do for the forces who’ve turned every single anti-equality fight into a child war, who can honestly say that we come out the beneficiary?

Because “Merry Christmas” is for gay-loving liberal hippies

The top, breaking, must-get-out message the editors of the Christian conservative "news" site WorldNetDaily chose to send readers on this Christmas morn':

Such priorities.

But whatever, we'll go with it.  "Merry troop indoctrination day," one and all!  Teacher says every time a bell rings repeal is signed, a gay angel gets re-enlisted.

WATCH: Biden says Obama is preparing the ground for the inevitable: Gay marriage

Posted on

While President Barack Obama says his views on same-sex marriage are “evolving,” Vice President Joe Biden is a little more to the point. In an interview on Good Morning America on Christmas Eve, Biden said he believes same-sex marriage is “inevitable.” He also drew a comparison between marriage equality and the repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell.” Here’s Biden’s full response, which you can watch in the above video at about the 5:45 mark:

“I think the country’s evolving, and I think there’s an inevitability for a national consensus on gay marriage. That is my view. But this is the president’s policy. But it is evolving. I think the country’s evolving. I remember the first time he met with the joint chiefs, I was with him. He said, ‘Gentleman, I want you to prepare you now.’ I want to end ‘don’t ask, don’t tell.’ So he prepared the ground so that it was so widely accepted as it is today by the military, and I think the same thing is happening across the country with regard to the issue of marriage.”

WATCH: ‘Fist Me This Christmas’

Posted on

This has been up on YouTube for several years and received more than half a million views. But we’ve never seen it before, so we thought maybe you hadn’t either. And even if you have, sometimes we all need a quick reminder about what’s really important around the holidays. Merry Fist-mas!

Watch: The Star Wars Christmas Special Everyone Really Wanted

Posted on

Starwars

This is awesome! Enjoy.

Watch, AFTER THE JUMP…


The good folks at gamervision cut this together:

"It's Christmas time, and while today that means people grinching about whether or not you should say 'Happy Holidays' instead of 'Merry Christmas,' there was a time when the biggest issue people had was which televised Christmas special they were going to watch. We've all seen the one with Rudolph and that one with the Heat Miser, and I'm sure the amount of hours spent watching the adventures of Frosty the Snowman would be shameful. Though those were all enjoyable when we were kids, we haven't had a real grown-up Christmas special in a long time. That's where this video comes in."

Send us your old (or new) Christmas photos for the blog

Posted on

Hannukah works too. Just send us a great photo of your holidays, and we’ll post it in the box in the upper right corner of the blog. If you’re photo-savvy, send a jpg or gif that’s at most 500px wide. I can resize them (so send them anyway if you don’t know how to shrink them down), but it’s easier if you do.

So send your Christmas (and Hannukah, and/or “holiday”) photos to:
photos AT americablog DOT com
And it goes without saying, feel free to add some context to the photo, explaining the circumstances, the time, a funny story (or a sad one), and old photos are always welcome too.

NOTE: By sending us your photos you are granting us permission to publish them on the blog, and you are attesting to the fact that you have rights to the photos. Please only send us YOUR photos. Thanks, JOHN

Christmas, hot guys and a safe sex message

Posted on

It’s not often you can combine high-quality production values with a PSA about safe sex. Even rarer that the song that goes along with it has seasonal significance. Unheard of that the lyrics are laugh-out-loud hysterical. And a cherry-on-top delight that the boys are smokin’! Here, then, a Japanese video. Listen carefully. And enjoy over and over.
