1. sorry, no Arrmagedon for you

you'll thank us later :P

[Sedona]

2. cute

but I think they might be watching American Idol

[MidwestTransplant]

3. Funny. Are they watching American Idol or something?

[Wetzelbill]

18. yes that's what it looks like

Good creative use of the sound though. :)

[kemamusa]

4. MSNBC

I think the election announcement was made by Keith Olbermann in the video.
What are republicans doing watching MSNBC :p

[Sukie]

5. Those girls are watching American Idol. Look at their

t-shirts. Someone has dubbed over the video with the MSNBC election night announcement. Looks like they wanted the other guy to win. LOL

[Kahuna]

17. That's what i was thinking. Must be the night Sanjaya went home...

:rofl:

[Kahuna]

19. Okay.. I figured it out. It was the American Idol night that David Cook..

won over Little David Archuletta. That looks like Archie's picture on the two t-shirts.

[TheEuclideanOne]

6. Wow that brought me just so much joy!

All of those young girls screaming and crying and carrying on as they hear the news. Sadly, I would have done the exact same thing and I am a grown man. :rofl: Hopefully not on video, though.

8. you realize they weren't ACTUALLY reacting to Obama's win right?

Maybe the T-shirts should have tipped you off.

[amdezurik]

10. sad/funny thing is

is it reflected almost exactly the feelings and reactions of the FAUX crowd, that's why it is so funny :)

[TheEuclideanOne]

21. Okay, I guess that the really sad thing was that I didn't realize that.

This must be a sign that I should get some sleep :)

[berni_mccoy]

7. LOLOLOLOL.... wait... LOLOLOLOL... can't stop laughing.

[Auggie]

9. I think it's disturbing -- imagine the lies and propaganda they've been fed

[ElsewheresDaughter]

12. you do know that this is a fake video...they really were watching American Idol

[eagertolearn]

15. I'm not sure but in the back it looks like pictures of the Mormon church

on the wall. It's sad that these kids were unable to realize what a wonderful president Obama will be. That they didn't learn about all the great idea's Obama has for our country and that he will actually try and make this world a better world for them to live in. When my kids talk to these kinds of kids at school they don't know anything about either candidate other than McCain is a war hero and wants to stop abortion and that Obama is a Muslim and wants to abort full term baby's (actually my kids do know several Mormon kids who voted for Obama!). The other group of kids are the ones saying that Obama will take all their guns away from them! These parents are doing them a great injustice. They will continue their lives with this narrow focus of the world and miss so much.

22. it's a video of little girls reacting to American Idol contestant David Archuleta losing the final.

He got beat by David Cooke, funny thing though, you said you notice the Mormon church as potentially being in the background, that would make sense, as I believe he's from a Mormon family - so how ironic would it be if that's what these kids similarly were doing one election night as Obama won!!!!!!!!!!!!! HA

31. Exactly...if they were truly reacting to election returns and not American Idol. n/t

[Divine Discontent]

11. HAHAHAHA - they're reacting to David Archuleta losing to David Cooke

on America Idol a few months ago. Hysterical use of the video. good job to the creator! the girls react that way because Archuleta is a teeny bopper's dream, and sounds the same on everything, whereas Cooke somehow got more votes being the more polished singer. Archuleta was a bit odd in his interviews, so I was happy that the Cooke guy won, although Archie has a good voice. It's just not normal to see America vote and get things right that often. I preferred Jason Castro to all of them.

This video will live for a long time - it is hysterical!

20. Right. I just figured that out too. nt

[otohara]

29. Hysterical Indeed

scary hysterical - like the Beatles fans, or ever crazier was the I saw in a story yesterday about the opening of "Twilight" - thousands of screaming girls at a mall to catch a glimpse of the young man who plays the vampire.

[madmom]

13. Girls that age aren't the least bit interested in politics!

[Seldona]

33. You should meet my two girls.

There would have been a reaction to a McCain win like this from them. My youngest fell asleep before they called it, but my oldest hung on until the end, then both danced with joy when Obama/Biden won.

They have never been allowed to stay up late on a school night, but they wanted to see the results so bad I just couldn't say no. I was on the computer in the bedroom and they were watching the tv, and we were yelling out state results as soon as we got them.

My oldest got a kick out of getting the information first, which she did on several states since they called them on tv first.

Great times.

Edited to add I know the vid is faked. Just saying there are young folks that care.

[Lost-in-FL]

14. My stomach!! My stomach!!! ROFL!!!!!!!

:rofl: :spray:

[Kahuna]

16. Is that what wailing and gnashing of teeth looks like?

:scared:

[donheld]

23. It's fake

:grr:

[Wetzelbill]

24. more like it's a joke

:) They're watching American Idol.

[Clintonista2]

25. I don't know what's more hilarious... the video or the gullible DUers posting in this thread

[Wetzelbill]

26. thus is my genius

I like to laugh at a little of both. It's also good to post satire, like The Onion or Andy Borowitz, because some people inevitably think its real. :)

[1Hippiechick]

32. My, my, don't we sound elitist. n/t

[Wetzelbill]

34. I am elitist

I'm sitting in my limo eating cheese and a wine flavored latte and looking down my nose at everybody right now.

Ok, more like I'm on my computer and drying my socks in the oven right now, but it's the same thing.

[Number23]

27. I know! Good Lord, people! It's just not that hard! LOL

And those girls need to do something to get them out of the house. There's too much going on in the world to get that worked up over some reality tv show.

[blogslut]

28. heehee

Love it

[pretzel4gore]

30. if it was old fat belly crackers i'd believe it

these kids probly don't give a darn who Barack Obama is (they're at the age when they trust the old fat greasy belly crackers ie 'conservatives' in their towns to take care of all that boring politics and bizness stuff) while they attend to really world shaking stuff like American Idol and Twilight etc
