CNN.com Finds Oedipal Mother's Day Spoof a Laugh Riot

Every day around lunchtime, CNN.com posts a humorous video as its "Funny Lunch" feature. The link stays on the site for a few hours at mid-day and can be found in the list of "Top Stories."

But today's video, Culture and Media Institute researcher Colleen Raezler noticed, was a gross-out spoof of diamond ads pegged to Mother's Day, which is this Sunday. Raezler informed me the link teased video for a "Mom's Day gem of a gift."

In a fake commercial spot for "Oedipus Diamonds," a young man is shown making out with an older woman as a narrator voices over his concern, disgust, and ultimate approval of a younger man's display of affection with a woman portraying his mother.

The video, entitled "Diamonds," was accessed here but the link will probably take you to a different video tomorrow. The video is permalinked here. A screenshot follows the transcript:

Woman: I love him no matter what!

Announcer: Of course you do, but don't you think that this is a bit much?

Man: No woman is more important.

Announcer: I can see how you feel that way but still there's no excuse for--

Man: I owe her my life.

Announcer: That may be true technically, but I don't, I--

Woman: He'll always be a part of me.

Announcer: Okay. This is just so wrong. So wrong it's right! Oedipus Diamonds. No matter what people say, it's the perfect gift for your mother on Mother's Day. You sick son of a b***ch!

All part of the big picture, folks. The liberals want to destroy everything that is good about America. When will we wake up? The backlash is coming, although it may be too late.

NEVER, NEVER trust a liberal

It will never be to late as long as there are people like us here at NB's and elsewhere standing.

This is past disgusting, deplorable, despicable, it is the devils work in disguise...and the devil has been getting the upper hand, but the devil will never win.

The country, let alone the world is about ready to clash....

Big-time.
