I think this “Star Wars” video is fake (that the parents told the kids how to react because the boy overdoes it a little). Regardless, it’s cute. I would actually make it the kids’ reaction to finding out we have a draft-dodging Islamic terrorism panderer as Prez and have for nearly three years.
Watch the video .. .
Fake or genuine? What do you think?
Bill, I heard about Hank Williams this morning. I missed the kickoff yesterday by about 2 minutes so I wasn’t aware until today that the traditional opening was dropped.
I don’t find comparing Obama to Hitler inappropriate, they both were elected on style over substance, they both hate(d) jews and love(d) socialism. What I thought was inappropriate was comparing Boehner to Netanyahu, Boehner couldn’t carry water for Netanyahu.

Reminds me of a joke I read on the Internet recently-
A muslim, an illegal alien and a Marxist walk into a bar. The bartender looks up and says, What can I get for you, Mr. President?”

LOL. Cute joke DS_ROCKS!
I think it’s real because after his amazement, he has all these micro-expressions going on. That is hard to fake. It was cute thou’.
I loved “The Empire Strikes Back”. I must admit, I did HATE that twist way back in 1982. I was NOT happy with it at all but I loved the movie. And his crappy 3rd film “Return (Revenge) Of The Jedi” I never saw because I thought it was gonna be hella lame. I think I was right. Maybe it was for the best. If the 3rd film was good I may have become a bona fide sci-fi nerd!
(LOL. ESPN are lame! They hated the comparison so they canned the intro for ONE show? Did they send old Hank Jr. to bed with out his din-din? Up theirs! And look at Kilmeade…pretending he doesn’t get it!)

Unless this kid is some sort of genius, it’s complete crap. I saw my first movie when I was four years old. My parents took me to see “101 Dalmatians” (the original 1961 cartoon, not the lousy remake from the 90s). It’s probably my earliest memory. I distinctly recall not really being able to follow any of the story beyond the fact that Pongo and Perdita were the heroes and Cruella was the villain.
If I had been four years old when the first “Star Wars” came out, I’m pretty certain I wouldn’t have been able to grasp any nuance beyond the fact that the robot and his friend the trashcan on wheels were good guys and the guy in the black helmet and cape was the bad guy.

With this Star Wars reference, here’s something that I pray to G-d does not happen:
Election Day, 2012:
TV Announcer:
“Ladies and Gentleman, Barack Obama has just been reelected as President of the United States.”
Debbie, me, and the rest of the regulars here:
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

Seems fake since the older girl has the same expression on her face but doesn’t hold it long enough so he focuses on the boy.

About as real as Lucas’ CGI Yoda.

ESPN benches Hank Williams Jr. for Obama-Hitler comparison
Posted by Michael David Smith on October 3, 2011, 6:08 PM EDT
APHank Williams Jr. will not ask you if you’re ready for some football tonight.
Instead, ESPN announced on Monday afternoon that the famous “Are You Ready for Some Football?” intro will not be part of tonight’s Monday Night Football broadcast after Williams made comments likening President Obama to Adolf Hitler.
“While Hank Williams, Jr. is not an ESPN employee, we recognize that he is closely linked to our company through the open to Monday Night Football,” the network said in a statement. “We are extremely disappointed with his comments, and as a result we have decided to pull the open from tonight’s telecast.”
ESPN’s decision not to use the pre-taped Williams opening before tonight’s Colts-Buccaneers game comes after Williams said on Fox News Channel that House Speaker John Boehner should not have played golf with Obama because, “That would be like Hitler playing golf with Netanyahu. Not hardly. In the shape this country is in?”
When Brian Kilmeade of Fox News said he didn’t understand the analogy, Williams replied, “I’m glad you don’t brother, because a lot of people do. They’re the enemy . . . Obama! And Biden! Are you kidding? The Three Stooges.”
Williams has performed the theme song for Monday Night Football, which is based on his 1984 song “All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight,” for more than two decades.
