Children blame ‘Mom and Dad’ for electing Mitt, sing about Romney letting sick people ‘just die’

A new video from the founders of a celebrated advertising agency features children “of the future” singing about the aftermath of a Mitt Romney presidency: A world where sick people are required to “just die,” the atmosphere is “frying,” gays can be “fixed” and “oil fills the sea.”

The children, who stare blankly at the camera throughout the video, even take pains to explicitly mention that they blame “mom and dad” for all those horrors.

The video — produced by the founders of the advertising agency Goodby Silverstein & Partners, which came up with the famous tagline “Got milk?” and boasts clients like Cheetos, Netflix, the National Basketball Association and Nintendo — asks viewers, “What Would The Children Of The Future Say If We Let Them Down This November?”

Watch: (Video at link)

The two minute 21 second video concludes with black and white text instructing: “Don’t let it happen… vote.”

The brains behind the video are Jeff Goodby and Rich Silverstein, who in 1983 co-founded the San Francisco-based agency that would soon become Goodby Silverstein & Partners.

“The idea was to have kids from the future sing about a world that’s been defiled by us — by their parents,” Goodby told Co.Create, which reports that he is a registered “lapsed” Republican. “It was meant to be accusatory in some way. Something to put it in the context of some day this decision will be an even bigger one than it appears today.”

The video, which does not explicitly mention Romney, is not an official project of Goodby Silverstein & Partners, the agency’s communications coordinator, Meagan Phillips told The Daily Caller.

Full lyrics:

Imagine an America Where strip mines are fun and free Where gays can be fixed And sick people just die And oil fills the sea

We don’t have to pay for freeways! Our schools are good enough Give us endless wars On foreign shores And lots of Chinese stuff

We’re the children of the future American through and through But something happened to our country And we’re kinda blaming you

We haven’t killed all the polar bears But it’s not for lack of trying Big Bird is sacked The Earth is cracked And the atmosphere is frying

Congress went home early They did their best we know You can’t cut spending With elections pending Unless it’s welfare dough

We’re the children of the future American through and through But something happened to our country And we’re kinda blaming you

Find a park that is still open And take a breath of poison air They foreclosed your place To build a weapon in space But you can write off your au pair

It’s a little awkward to tell you But you left us holding the bag When we look around The place is all dumbed down And the long term’s kind of a drag

We’re the children of the future American through and through But something happened to our country And yeah, we’re blaming you

You did your best You failed the test

Mom and Dad We’re blaming you!

This is disturbing on so many levels!

Obama and his loyal Liberal cronies are now following the same techniques as Nazis and Communists.

This is certainly an act of desperation on Obama's part.

Sadly, there are many people who would even embrace this sort of propaganda.

Obama supporters are now largely comprised of idiots, ideologues and entitlement addicts. They would sell their souls -- and the beliefs of their religious faith -- for a few Obamaphones or food stamps thrown to them by a party that leaves them as they are.

If I knew a child that had any part in making this video, the only response that would eminate from me is:
“Get the belt!, then we’ll have a long talk with your teacher!”

:: produced by the founders of the advertising agency Goodby Silverstein & Partners ::

And we see why Obamugabe doesn’t care about relations with Isreal and isn’t pandering to the Jewish vote.

They’ll vote for socialist slavery every time.

Right out of the Marxist, leninist, Alinsky playbook. The RATS are very adept at brainwashing our children. Look at the modern day MSM; all products of the brainwashing of leftist professors who permeate throughout the educational community.

Like with the Soviet hero Pavel Mozorov.

Blame it on the parents for not letting the children worship the true Obamao!

Someone else pointed out that this is obviously the Obama campaign’s play for the “Children of the Corn” demographic.

Vote for Obama and he will watch Americans die overseas and not lift a finger to help them.

I fixed the lyrics, re-calibrated to actual reality:

********

Imagine an America

Where the Lefties are running free

Where all guns are nixed And politicians lie

But the birth control is free

We are not allowed to worship!

Our news is good enough

Give us higher tax

And more business whacks

As we bow to Chinese lords. . .

We’re the children of Obama

True Socialist through and through

But they won’t let us re-distribute

And so now we’re blaming you

We haven’t killed all the jobs yet

But it’s not for lack of trying

Well, my dad was sacked

The Fed is wacked

And the deficit is flying

Congress went home early
They did their best we know

You can’t cut spending

With elections pending

Unless it’s defense dough

We’re the children of Obama

True Socialist through and through

But they won’t let us re-distribute

And so now we’re blaming you

Find a business that’s still open

And try to shop there if you dare

They foreclosed your place

To fund Obama’s place

But you can kiss off being fair. . .

It’s a little awkward to tell you

But with no cash left in the bag

When we look around

The place is all broke down

And the future’s turned to slag. . .

We’re the children of Obama

True Socialist through and through

But they won’t let us re-distribute

And so now we’re blaming you

You did your best

You failed the test

America We’re blaming you!

“Right out of the Marxist, leninist, Alinsky playbook. The RATS are very adept at brainwashing our children. Look at the modern day MSM; all products of the brainwashing of leftist professors who permeate throughout the educational community.”

I absolutely agree. It is our responsibility to counter this in every way we can. I regularly ask my child what the teachers are saying in school, and I counter the liberal story line with facts. I don't ever say - ‘this is how you should think’. I just put the facts out there. I truly believe that's enough. For example, we spent time at one point going over the history of the USSR, and Stalin's purges. The response was ‘Why haven't we heard about this? Stalin was like Hitler, but killed more people.’

I also think it's very important that the ‘non-left’ provide other sources of teaching and entertainment for children, to prevent the ‘brain washing’ of which you speak. Conservatives should be writing more children's books etc.

That's the first thing that popped into my mind when I read the lyrics. I pictured all those kids being indoctrinated by the government "schools."
Why didn't they just have them wear German uniforms and get their agenda right out in the open?

In my opinion, this is child abuse.

If the brain-dead yids, the Josef Goebbels-inspired would-be-controllers who cooked up this crap actually have you "disturbed," then you're way too thin-skinned.

I found the piece cloyingly oversimplistic, repetitively ignorant, pathetically uninspired and absolutely worthless. It won't sway one single vote, unless some imbecile (stupid enough to listen to the entire thing without turning it off) gets so p-o'ed at O'Bunghole's attempt to manipulate him that he decides he has to vote for Romney. This ad is great for Romney.

It shows, quite plainly, what retards the Libs are!

This insipid, vacuous, mentally infirm crap doesn't work on real people. What's your problem?

8^D
