Also, don't judge me too harshly on the failed trailer. It was fun and we were entertained. Besides, it was too nice outside to stay inside :)

I in no way shape or form own or have any rights to the music that is in this video. It is completely the property of the artist.
I hope this video makes sense as I'm not the most articulate person in the world but I felt it important to start the discussion and get my thoughts out there. I also believe that it's important for this issue to stay current since every few months a video like the one I'm responding to surfaces.
