December 10, 2006 - O'Reilly demands script approval for all young actors
We've been getting a lot of email about O'Reilly's segment on the
YouTube video of the little girl who has apparently eaten fruit from
The Tree of Knowlege. During his lead-in, Bill talked about child
abuse and then cherry-picked a segment of the video talking about
religion. Of course, Bill never mentioned that he himself was a
subject of the video. We all know that this had little to do with "child
protection" and more to do with his ego.
So here's the original video.
O'Reilly told his audience and guest that "maybe social services
could make a case, particularly if they investigated the parents, that
these parents are simply not suitable to raise a child or responsible
enough to do it."
Bill failed to mention that the video is a band promo for The Bastard
Fairies and the girl is an actress and that this was filmed by an
award-winning documentary team.
Is Bill going to start pushing for the prosecution of parents of young
actors when he doesn't approve of the script? Certainly Linda Blair
should have been taken away from her parents after filming The
Exorcist. And Dakota Fanning, I mean, well, she's not a good
example...
Patriotboy re-cut the O'Reilly piece rather awesomely. Check it.
If you'd like to learn more about the Bastard Fairies, watch this handy
little infomercial.
Oh, and here's the groovy video for Whatever.
