Jesus-- Todd Hanson is the sexiest thing ever. Until this video, I had only heard his voice as Dan Halen and seen a few google pics from The Onion. Actually seeing him speak just made my &"@8! explode.
Other than that--great job! (I like the narrator's voice)
The fact that your background song is wonderful and you got D.C. Benny to comment on it, much less make him laugh pretty hard at the joke, is some pretty serious confirmation that you have a legitimate point.
And despite everyone else, I like your voice. In a non-creepy or stalker-ish way, you know.
jackie clark has more than 5 inches of clevage therefore i am flagging this my 2 year old saw this and everytime she was on and I said yum yum he realized it was because of her.
This is an amazingly made video. The only thing I see wrong is the narration. The voice has no emphasize and a tiny bit of a studder/pause. This has been great work, though!
@thegreatdoctorzombie The kid's in high school for crying out loud! Was your voice deep and sonorous when---"the Holocoaster?" Holy shit, that's funny. ROFL
Grr... I'm the girl talking about the radish. I know I sucked at doing voice-overs. But I had to repeat each one of those clips 6 or 7 times just to get the ennunciation right.. by the end, I was really bored, and all I focused on was saying the "t" sound in "light" so it would be understandable. That's not how I normally talk.
How can you say that midget isn't as offensive as the N-word? It's a word sometimes used to promote hate for little people. Search google for "midget offensive word" for more on the detrimental use of the word.
Maybe you need to search for the true meaning of the N word. You can't just take two words that are offensive and say they are the same. Being called a N**** meant you were perceived as good for nothing. On the same mental and social status as a dog if not lower. You were considered good for nothing and utterly stupid. You didn't deserve to exist.
"Personally, I still feel, as many do, that the term midget is akin to "nigger." I do believe that it would be great to claim "the word" as our own in much the same way as African Americans have claimed "nigger." The truth is, if I say "nigger" I am getting my head cracked open, but not too many Dwarfs are doing any head-crackin' after being addressed as a "midget," (just out of sheer self-preservation). Nor are they standing up for their right to be addressed as human beings in a verbal way."
That's an excerpt from a letter between a little person and a movie critic who used the word midget in something he had written. Hate goes a long way, and no, African-American people cannot claim their suffering as totally different than the suffering of anyone else. If someone called me a kike or a cunt, in my mind, that would be like anyone calling you a nigger.
At the point I really don't care anymore. I made my point and I'm sticking to it. And not every black person has "claimed The N word" as theres. Facts are facts and our history IS different from most. And the fact that you continue to use the N wheras I refrained from using the offensive term for little people in my 2nd comment didn't help. This discussion will change nothing so I'm done wasting time. I meant what I said. The end.
by the way you said "Nor are they standing up for their right to be addressed as human beings in a verbal way." ... they ARE standing up for that right, it's just that you can't see them standing up, they're midgets!!
"Midget" is a really cool sports car by MG, isn't it? Dwarf or little people sounds weird to me. I talked with a "little person" who liked me and when I was leaving, I was asked for a kiss- I said "no" but agreed to a kiss on the cheek, but instead I had a little person jump on me, hanging from my neck and trying to kiss me on the lips! I pulled those little arms from around my neck, pointed my finger in that little face and shouted, "How dare you make me be unkind to you"!
Dwarf is the scientifically correct term to describe someone afflicted by dwarfism, regardless of how it sounds to you. And if little people want to be called little people, that's their business, not yours. There's some comedian with a story about having sex with a midget...
midget talks about being small, and maybe pokes fun at that, but nigger represents HUNDREDS of years of slavery and assumed idiocy of the person they are talking about. N represents hate and lynchings, dragging blacks behind trucks and bombing churches, while midget is a verbal nickname that not nearly represents physical violence and intolerance.
which would get you fired first, saying the M word or the N word on national tv?
Jesus! My movie isn't even about midget vs n-word (there, I stopped saying it). Did it ever occur to you that little people were once despised in a way similar to black people? Slavery vs freak shows, lynchings vs dwarf tossing... in a perfect world, none of that should be happening.
Is the word bitch used as an insult for women, or is it used to justify violence against women? Answer: it can be used for both, and so can "midget." People who use the word midget see little people purely as objects for their own amusement. Heightism (yes, there's a word for it) is less publicized than racism. Why, you ask? Clearly, it happens on a much smaller scale. In general, don't underestimate the power of words, and please let's stop talking about this.
