I can't tell you how many marriages between 8-year-olds I've seen end horribly because one of them slept around. Hopefully, these adorable cartoon bunnies and kitties and their jaunty anti-adultery song will finally teach these children that once they're, uh... married, they shouldn't be fucking other... uh... children, no matter how much.... uh... they come on to you WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE (Via I Heart Chaos)

Somehow I think that wouldn't have stopped the Ex from doing what / who she did. Hell, I bet even some of my fellow nerds around here got lucky with her! Or will!
In any event, it seems to be a "Top Ten" about the Ten Commandments. Seven is adultery, and the intro kind of mentions that. I wonder what the other nine look like now. Especially the kill one. That should be fun with cartoon animals.

Gareth replied to ZADL:
The song for the sixth commandment is actually one of the worst in the special. Obviously they couldn't do much with the concept of "killing" in a Christian children's special, so they made the music video composed solely of childishly drawn crayon artwork while espousing how we're all "created by God", so killing's bad, mmkay?
Of course, the bully Osborne does try to kill the scrawny kid afterward (by accidentally causing an avalanche), but whatever.

Dave replied to whothewhat:
Adultery is about more than sex. It's about infidelity. You can cheat on your spouse without having sex. Don't believe it? Go and kiss another girl and see if your wife doesn't mind. Besides, the video goes out of its way to make the topic about loyalty, not sex.

I'm with you in that I think this video is totally benign, but I'd like to give Rob his due. He's taken down some downright nasty comments from this thread that have been pretty hateful towards Christians. Do I wish he wouldn't post videos that allow Christianity to be mocked and straw-manned? Yes. But this isn't my blog. Plus, I think we can all make fun of how absolutely cheesy this video is. Very Care Bear-esque. And who (aside from the furries) enjoys watching the Care Bears as adults?

The hilarious thing is this cartoon uses animals to get the message across.

Oh, I would love to hear the parents try to explain that one . . .

Holy shit, you've just discovered the Kingdom Chums!
They're basically a Christian-ripoff of the Care Bears. This video is from a special called "The Original Top Ten", and it features 10 (count them, 10) songs about the Ten Commandments (duh!).
The lion you see singing in the video is actually Tony "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Around the Ole Oak Tree" Orlando, while the cat is Debby "You Light Up My Life" Boone. There's also a raccoon called Little David voiced by Frankie Valli and Mirrian the Yes-You-Can Bear (ugh) voiced by Marylin McCoo. And don't forget the tiger Marvelous Mose (sic), voiced by Billy Preston. One of the kids (the bully Osborne) is also voiced by Scott Menville (yes, by Teen Titans Robin).

Yes, thank you. This is what I mean. This cartoon has some pretty adult sexual innuendo going on the come hither looks from the apparently "slutty" animals. Yet this is obviously meant for the single digit age group. I don't have a problem with Christians trying instill moral values into kids. But at some point you leave behind common sense and sanity and achieve something that will no doubt warp and fuck up a kid's sensibility. This is like trying to explain the Holocaust with emaciated, doe-eyed kittens being chucked into a furnace by Nazi dobermans to a kid who doesn't even understand that Santa Clause is impossible, let alone doesn't exist.

I wouldn't go THAT far (the Holocaust analogy), and I'd also venture that the video isn't that bad, but I am confused as to why anyone would bother writing a song like this for children. And why do it in such a nauseatingly cloy fashion?

"This cartoon has some pretty adult sexual innuendo going on the come hither looks from the apparently "slutty" animals." You either didn't watch the video or don't know what sexual innuendo really is. And to call any of the animals on this video "slutty" is a wierd perversion you might want to explore with your therapist. You people are looking for something that just isn't there. And how exactly does this qualify as nerd news to be granted an audience on this sight? You want to make fun of the Avatar-fearing pastor? Fine, he's a moron. This? Your just picking a fight because you don't like Christians. That's how I view it.

Neptune replied to Dave:
I think you're over-reacting. You don't have to be a Christian to know that cheating on your spouse is wrong. And just because someone laughs at a video that was produced by a Christian organization doesn't mean they don't like all Christians. I think most of us just find the video ridiculous, odd, and very unnecessary.
Of course it's a good thing to teach kids that monogamous marriage is a serious commitment, but I think they can learn that best from their parents, youth directors, etc. I can honestly say that I would've been seriously weirded out by this video as a child, and I'm glad the church my family attended didn't resort to this kind of stuff to teach us. Rather than helping to explain the 10 commandments, a cartoon like that would've left me with lots of questions about adult relationships that my parents wouldn't have been ready to answer at that age (I'm assuming the video is intended for ages 5-7, perhaps?).
I have to agree with other commenters - the topic of adultery is better saved for discussion with pre-teens/teens who actually have some understanding of what it means to be in a romantic relationship. That's how my church did it when I was a kid, and my priest tackled the 7th commandment in one or two sentences better than this awkward video did in nearly 3 minutes of song.

Yes. None of us can speak for Rob's actual feelings concerning Christians (as you, Dave, seem to be doing), but the fact remains he said nothing about religion in the post with the video. As far as I can tell, he posted this video for the same reasons he posts a lot of nerdy or non-nerdy videos, i.e., cuz it weirded him out like it did the rest of us. You don't have to take every un-toward reference to Christianity or religion as an attack against all Christians--that's just silly. I sincerely doubt most of the people here actually dislike all Christians.

My assumption that Rob doesn't like Christians is based on the fact that the only time anything regarding Christianity makes this site it is roundly mocked. I have yet to see him praise anything (nerd associated) made by Christians. Might I suggest a viewing of a VeggieTales video (LarryBoy would be a good start). They're amazingly funny and very well done.

I'm going to say I honestly can't remember more than one case of a Christianity related post on TR that was derogatory towards the religion or its followers (if we're counting this post as one)--what other times has Rob done this? (And I don't think the Mass Effect 2 post counts.)
You're right, VeggieTales is pretty awesome and hilarious stuff, and it's very well-done as a show, but it's also largely unknown outside of a certain group of people.

It's a little odd, but then again, I'm not five years old so clearly I'm not the target demographic. And for all the people indignant about the "sexual innuendo," have you ever watched Looney Tunes or Merrie Melodies?

Not even remotely the same thing. Most of those jokes were really subtle and fly right over the heads of kids. I never even realized there was an entire half of each cartoon I never noticed until I saw several of them recently.
Then again, PePe Le Pew always was a pretty blatant rapist...maybe you have a point.

Pepe Le Pew was exactly who I was thinking about. What about the wolf from Tex Avery? Nothing remotely subtle there. And then there's Bugs cross dressing. And let's not forget Lola Bunny and her Space Jam debut. Warner Bros are the pioneers of sexualized anthropomorphic animals. We all survived these shows without our worlds collapsing, surely children can watch this video with their sanity intact. It's only fault is being incredibly cheesy. For that and only that do I laugh at this video.

The song for the First Commandment is indeed lame. There was nothing special they could do for the commandment of "only one God" except have the three kids stand around and stare in awe at nature (because nature = God, don't you know).
There was actually an 11th song called "Love One Another", which came at the very end. Basically a distilling of all the commandments into a single statement, I suppose.

The execs who greenlit this special were obviously concerned with one thing: capitalizing on the success of the Care Bears with their own Christianized version. This is sadly what Christianity has been reduced to these days: ripping off pop-culture and slapping a Bible verse onto it.
All they're doing is teaching the Ten Commandments of the Bible. So what if the kids are too young to fully understand it? I learned about the Ten Commandments when I was younger, and I'm no worse for wear. No, the worse crime here is the complete degradation of Christianity through these horrible ripoffs and going "look how cool we are too!"

In this cartoon's defense, it was about the 10 commandments and this particular song is about the 7th commandment. Guess they put it in there for the sake of having all 10 featured.
Posted 03/20/2010 at 05:04:14 PM
Gareth replied to The Micronerd:
For those not willing to go through the trouble of watching the entire special on Youtube, allow me to provide a synopsis:
Petey and Annie are two Christians (duh!) being pestered by the bully Osborne, who stole a record from a music store. This prompts a discussion of the "Original Top Ten", being a play on a music countdown and the Ten Commandments (of course). Osborne demands the original top ten, so they get transported to the land of the Kingdom Chums, a.k.a. the Care Bear rip-offs.
Once there, Petey and Osborne have a contest for the Original Top Ten. The Kingdom Chums will sing a song about one of the Ten Commandments, and whichever boy guesses the meaning of the song (difficult, I know) gets a golden record of the song. The winner at the end of the contest gets all ten.
In the end, the boys tie 5-5, they all sing one final song, and Osborne becomes a Christian (duh!) and also gets the Original Top Ten (moral of the story: become a Christian and get gold records!).
