Just... Amazing. I never thought a video barely over two minutes could make me both laugh and cry. Definitely a CMOA. [awesome]

Also, only semi-related, but his voice is like sweet, auditory honey that I wish I could listen to all day everyday for the rest of my life.

I don't know, I might look the other way if that Board of Ed. member had a few death wishes sent his way. He's a douchebag, after all.

The countdown clock bit just reminded me of the Old Spice man so much.

Complete and utter win.

...Is it me or does the school official look like a drunken hillbilly who has his own combination meth lab/ moonshine brewery?

Okay, I didn't see the rant that inspired that, but that didn't give him any moral supieority. Mr. Basketball player is allowed to not like gays and even say so. I'm a little homophobic to concentrated amounts, and trying that stuff doesn't exactly win hearts and minds. At least it was humorous. If more than was quoted was said, he might have deserved it, but he is allowed to say and think that. Not polite, but legal.

anti-gay bully Clint Mc Cance, former Arkansas school board member who called for more gays teens to kill themselves

It's ok for Mr. Homophobe to say things like that, but not ok for us to call him a douchebag?

@Mellon: I believe Hungry meant the second video, which was about a basketball player saying he hates gay people.

^^^Of course he can say it. Doesn't mean he shouldn't be mocked for holding such opinions and stating them in public.

Ah, I see.

"He's entitled to his opinion!" is still the worst argument ever if you're trying to convince someone not to criticize/insult back.

As humorous as the second video is, the implied rape could be crossing the line just a bit.

I didn't really interpret it as rape. :/

Either way, I lol'd. Hard.

One day, when you least expect it, I will have sex with you.

Sounds like rape to me. It's still damn funny, but some people get rather touchy about this sort of thing.

I think he's intending to make fun of a certain mindset some people have that all gay people are out to force everyone into gay sex.

I personally think Takei does Deadpan humor far better. I remember him in that Sharp commercial.

I thought it (the second video) was hilarious, but, unless there's more to what the player said, I don't think Mr. Takei's response is any more mature or reasoned than what the player said.

As for the guy in the first video: He had it coming.

That was awesome, especially the way he deadpanned even the sheer audacity bits.

I heard the beginnings of a chuckle a time or two when he started fondling the image...
