Kidz Bop Opens Children's Eyes To The World Of Furries

thumbnail icon: Kidz Bop Opens Children's Eyes To The World Of Furries

Human sexuality is a many and varied thing (perfect, class is in session). And it starts when we are very young (please save your questions until the end of my powerful lecture). It can take many years even as an adult to define and embrace one's sexuality, but the more we can make the world an open and understanding place where everyone is entitled to explore their self identity and feel safe to acknowledge who they really are, the happier a place it will be, and the more time people will have to focus on changing the true problems of the world. That is why I support this Kidz Bop video for their cover of Gavin DeGraw's "I Don't Want to Be." It says to our children "Hey, do you associate yourself with furry culture? Do you want to get dressed up in a brightly colored animal costume and dance with other furries in a hotel ballroom? Do you want to have a furry affair like Turtle did on that one episode of Entourage? Well you can't yet, because you are only a child. But it is OK to want those things, and one day your parents won't be able to tell you shit."

I'm pretty sure that's what this video says. Because otherwise it's just weird. (Thanks for the tip, Ben.)

Pretty sure it was Johnny Drama, not Turtle.

The only underground, dress-up oriented sexual fantasy cult more dangerous than the furry is that of the snuggy:

"All I have to do is think of me and my peace of mind."

Solipsism, furry style.

I was going to make a long comment about how I never fully realized the deep message Mr. Degraw was trying to convey to mixed breed dogs everywhere, but watching this video filled my head with too much retarded. Now I need to go to the hospital, to get a catheter. You know, to drain all of the retarded out of my brain.

From watching that video.

I like how the person in the dog suit sings about liars and imposters, the camera pans to actual dogs....That is as far as I got.

Those kids singing along to that song makes it sound like, 'tired of fucking round'. I'm not complaining, it makes the song better, if you can go from really shitty to better.

I think Kidz Bop has successfully made Gavin DeGraw's song DIRTIER, seeing as he's squeaky clean - like one step off being a Christian artist...

congrats, Kidz Bop. You've sullied the minds of the youth.
