Asexual News readers who wonder why people find the FCKH8 campaign annoying can find out why by watching this video. The video is painful to watch, even if it is funny at points. FCKH8 may appeal to some people, but videos such as this are more likely to make problems worse if they are viewed by the people the video targets.

There is a place for this sort of dialogue, but the shrill voices and loud annoying voices are better suited to protest rallies and message board forums. Videos that turn off even people who are sympathetic do nothing to acheive the desired effect.

The video fosters a combative attitude. It does not quite suggest that Young Republicans are not Americans, but it could go further to separate the Moral Majority that dominates Republican discourse.

Visitors can watch about 30 seconds of it if they do not wish to view the video in its entirety. They miss nothing by doing so.
