Rick Perry's controversial anti-gay ad, titled "Strong," has officially upset people.

The reaction has actually been so negative that the posting of the ad on YouTube has just achieved the record for the most dislikes on a single video. The clip surpassed Rebecca Black's now infamous "Friday" music video to claim the top spot as YouTube's most hated video.

Currently, Perry's video has approximately 300,000 "dislikes," while Black's has a little over 253,000. However, at this point, while over 10 million people have viewed "Friday," only about 750,000 have viewed Perry's ad, meaning a stagering 40 percent of viewers have not only disapproved of the spot, but openly expressed their dislike online.

Needless to say, the Perry campaign isn't happy. Their previous ad "Faith" is also posted on YouTube, doesn't prominently display the "Likes" versus "Dislikes" count, and still has over 25,000 "dislikes."

The video itself has been so controversial, that Perry's own staff is divided over it. Sources close to the Perry campaign have told the Huffington Post that even top officials in the campaign were uncomfortable with the language of the ad. Nonetheless, it began running in Iowa on Wednesday.

The Perry campaign's newest ad, "Repeal," which touts Perry's promise to "repeal Obamacare," doesn't give YouTube viewers the option of to Like, Dislike or even post comments below the video, as pointed out by the Perry Presidential blog, maintained by the Houston Chronicle and Hearst Newspapers.

  • Wait wait wait? We can't pray in school? We can't celebrate Christmas? Someone should tell that to my school. It was decked out in Christmas trees, and we have a school sponsored club deduced to religious people (It started off as Fellowship of Christian Athletes and eventually became Fellowship of religions).

  • Same jacket? Well isn't that just the strangest?

  • @notoliberals1 OMG I had no idea that the ass of the world (Texas) had technology, seeing as its from the devil. You know, speaking to people you can't see, it's witchcraft I tells you. That aside and regardless if you are from Texas (you must of originated from some redneck country, no other possible way to explain your inbreed stupidity), implying that the death of someone's son, husband, friend and father is good news shows that you are not a true Christian but only a fanatic, idiot.

  • 1:55 since when did the government support religion?!?

  • Kids can pray all they want in school. They can pray ever five minutes if they want, all through lunch hour, while they smoke cigarettes in the parking lot, they can pray in study hall, pray while they're on the toilet. What they can't have is state sponsored prayer. I'm sick of the f'n crybaby xtians who lie about "not being able to pray in school" when what they want is to get the government involved in religion. I'd vote for Voldermort instead, at least he's not a liar or a hypocrite.

  • why cant they celebrate Christmas? WHAT?!

  • Christian or religious "values" are nothing more than personal values developed by onesself. That's why super-religious morons think all of us atheists are amoral vampires and the like. When people who are judged as utter freaks (like Marilyn Manson) express and show more about what real freedom is than any of these theocratic nutjobs. Manson's video (S)aint captured true american spirit while critiquing the madness behind trying to control it.

  • We CAN pray in school and celebrate Christmas. Whats going to happen if we do? Are we going to get arrested?

    Nooo.

  • @somersetdc hhehehhehehehehhe. propane.

  • His..."values (he) learned in his Christian up-bringing will affect (his) governing." Reason Number 397 not to vote for this moronic sociopath.

    Take your uneducated hill-billy ass back to Texas, Rick, where they think you're a genius.
