"Gathering Storm" gets flagged (but not the rainbow kind)

My previous post mentions the anti-gay ad "Gathering Storm." I saw it once on TV and was equal parts horrified by the message and amused by the unintentional irony. (A rainbow coalition of bigots? WTF?) After reading in the NY Times article about it being on YouTube (but not as popular as its parodies), I decided to check it out on YouTube.

Once I found it, the "Flag as Inappropriate" button called out to me. I clicked on the button and gave as my reason "Contains hateful language"--or something to that effect. Feel free to do the same. Gathering Storm on YouTube

Yeah, that this is completely chilling, isn't it? It made me feel nauseous the first time I saw it.

I felt nauseaous--and yet wanted to laugh at it.
