Obama Releases "It Gets Better" Video
President Obama released a video Thursday night as part of the "It Gets Better" campaign, a series aimed at supporting gay youth targeted by bullies for their sexuality.
Much ado about nothing...?

Given what things were 50 years ago, I'm not sure I agree with the sentiment.

So far, Fox deems the event completely not worth mentioning.

That may be a good thing. Somehow, I don't think they'd be very supportive.
Actually, there are a few stories, very few, though.

I was referring to the Obama video specifically.
It's an interesting gloss on the cultural divide between News Outlets with the way the video campaign has been handled since its inception.
It's also rather, uh, fun, to scroll through the comments sections of the various pieces they've done.

Although I see I may have mishandled my search terms.
The comments section...
Maybe he could make a message addressing the topic that Americans have become to emotionally and mentally weak to handle any small forms of criticism at all or any form of difference in opinion without either crying over being offended or falling into an ignorant rage and slinging insults. And those are these poor kids parents...
Bearing in mind, of course, that the criticism being referred to is telling a thirteen year old that he should hang himself.
