Someone posted this to my FB yesterday, and I replied "HOW MANY ANTS HAD TO DIE FOR YOUR 'ART'?!??!"

I mean, I'm not a fan of death for no reason, but there are like what, 1 Quadrillion ants in the world?

Holy fuck. That's not mercury, that's liquid aluminum melting around 1220F.

Clearly those people have never been attacked by fire ants. Fuck fire ants.

Yeah, an invasive, pest species that we are trying to eradicate, anyway.

People are stupid.

Fire ants annoy me 1000000% less than people.

This is how you kill an ant city:

The story behind the girl in the Christmas video is that her parents are deaf. She didn't want them to feel left out, so she signed the song. Nobody knew that she was going to do this, she did it on her own.

Sign language experts say she does an amazing job, and is really accurate.

So yeah, "bah humbug".

Oh, it's very heart-warming and adorable, I'll give you that.

Nonetheless, this humbug remains bahed.

Friends of ours are launching their own video/production business and did this as their Christmas video to help get the word out... It's up to 250k views now.

I got to 2:11 and it was starting to hurt too much to continue to watch. So, you know the people in the video, or the people who made the video? Or are they the same?

I actually like the Will Smith song they borrowed.

Yes, one and the same. The mom and dad are the ones starting the business. So far they've managed to get the video on Good Morning America, CNN, and HuffPo. The mom used to to work for Inside Edition.
