MUST SEE - "The Future Children Project" video from two brilliant ad men

Here's their website

http://www.futurechildrenproject.com/

which has the lyrics of the song, and which has these lines directly below the video there:

Re-electing President Obama is a momentous decision that will require every single voter.
What would the children of the future say if we let them down this November?

I found this while checking Google News, via a disapproving article at Tucker Carlson's faux news site, the Daily Caller, which at least provided some background on the ad men behind the video:

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?”

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 is not an official project of Goodby Silverstein & Partners, Co.Create reports.

1. A few of the verses the children of the future sing:

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

[Whovian]

5. Loved it.

2. Since it it children singing

I wish there had been a stanza about children being sold into slavery but that is just me. The song is right in that the parents, aunts, uncles and grandparents are to blame.

3. Rethugs are being creeped

out and calling it brainwashing.

6. Brainwashing? Why isn't this video of children

getting as much attention as the 'first time' video? Rethugs are having heart attacks over this one.
