VIDEO: ’80s Child Stars Speak Out Against Kirk Cameron

Posted on by

If someone were to make a viral video starring a handful of ’80s and ’90s child stars, that would be enough (dayenu, as we say at Passover). But the fact that they also have a good and FUNNY message? Well, that’s just great.

VIDEO: College Student Debunks Rick Santorum To His Face

Posted on by

There’s nothing better than watching an idiot politician get taken down by a humble student. In this case, we have Rick Santorum, who thinks society will fall into decay with the acceptance of gay marriage. He rants that he’s yet to hear a evidence to the contrary… which is where one plucky student chimes in and provides it, courtesy of a study by the American Psychological Association. Santorum then soundly rejects said evidence, saying that the APA is a biased group only willing to listen to evidence that supports its own theses. Hmmmm…. sounds familiar?

Entertaining and bloody-boiling all at once. Yay!
