Have you seen the commercials on TV where they have 18 year olds (I would guess) talking about voting, and they have a number board above them? One guy says something like "if our elected officials can tell us whom we can marry, I'd better vote and use my voice" and on the numbers board the numbers go up one. I haven't got the words exactly right, I'm sure, but you probably get the idea.

MTV is propogating hard for the gay marriage issue...and Democrats. This weekend they had a political special on gay marriage were Kerry was interviewed talking about a close personal friend who was gay, and suffered through a heterosexual marriage because he couldn't be who he wanted to be.

I've seen them, and not just on MTV, saw this gem on Nickelodeon last week -

Young male, about 25, on a stage in jeans and t-shirt, says

"The government gets to decide a lot of things for me. They get to say whether my baby brother goes to war. They get to say how much money my grandmother gets in her SS check. They even get to tell me who I am allowed to marry. Good thing I can decide who THEY are."

Cha-ching, goes the vote counter behind him.

The original commercial was something like "Can you imagine what might have happened in the last election if 20 million young people had voted?" Their intent is patently obvious.
