Someone please tell me this maga, sorry... MEGA, creepy ad I just saw was just a fever dream. [emoji15]
This must be pillow boy's target demographic.
I need a shower... and an emetic. [emoji3525]

I can't see anything?
 
Did I misspell it? Hmm... no, I didn't.

Are you both part of the matrix?

Am I? [emoji15]

I just loaded the site (it's disturbing), what did you each get?


(Eta: thx abaddon.)

What can I say, I'm an idiot sometimes, but then again, the video link should've been included in the OP, but that's me.

ETA: BTW, I beat you to it, heh, heh, heh

I saw a YT vid ad, hard to link to. So I put the URL in the thread title.
But, that's just me. [emoji3]

Heh, heh, heh. Ok, that's funny, but I was able to put the link in my post.

BTW, all you have to do is click where it says "YouTube" in the bottom right of the screen, and it'll bring up the YouTube page it's on.

When do we celebrate "Help Your Fellow Skeptic" week, or even just one day would be cool!

Now I've read the article I can save you the trouble.

Tuttle Twins series is among the most wretchedly contrived, grotesquely unethically indoctrinating, cliché-ridden heaps of steaming garbage I’ve ever had the misfortune to read. Written to bring young people into one of the most disgraceful political tendencies in the world before they have the critical thinking skills to recognize it, it is a hideous fraud and an ugly twisted farce.

I hadn't been to the site, still haven't read it yet.
Looking at that review... we can add Bastiat and Ayn Rand to the heroes list.
I need to throw up again. [emoji2955]

You should chillax a bit... or perhaps be a tad less presumptive.
I saw it on my Chromecast dongle on the TV, not on my phone or a comp. But I apologize that the both of you were, or would have been, put out to type an entire 15 keystrokes versus a clicky click.
*Forgive me Master... let the beatings commence!*

You are welcome, but I am not sure you should be thanking me. That stuff is truly disturbing.

Now, having two kids of my own, what gives me joy is when they ask the pointy questions. Nothing suits me better than to sit down and spend time discussing whatever. I know I can say anything to them, they know they can say anything to me. It's a two way street.

And they are 17 and 20, so it ain't like I could do anything about it anyway.

I am merely grateful that I had the opportunity to let them be their very own person.

Ok, I understand, and I'm sorry for jumping the gun.

I went there so you don't have to:

"Our award-winning books help parents educate their children about the principles and values that schools no longer teach"

While I was there, names kept popping up saying they bought their "Tuttle Twins Combo pack":

Now, I think I might just have to go throw up myself.

Yeah, it's...
I keep thinking, propaganda (any stripe) vs. early religious indoctrination (been there, wore the cassock... and the cotta) and it feels like six of one, half a dozen of the other.
Which is worse? [emoji3525]

What's that picture supposed to be at the end of your post?

Sorry, but it doesn't show up on my computer screen.

They should call it miseducation.

Well you came up with it, you posted it. At this point I am wondering if you want to throw yourself up in the air or vomit yourself out of yourself or something else.

Up to you to specify.

You're really out doing yourself in the nice department. I wish I had more friends like you.

That's not your fault. It's what confused me about your OP. I thought that's what we were supposed to see, but like I replied to abaddon (the nicest person on this whole forum by the way), I can sometimes be an idiot.

Anyway, thanks for starting this thread. We need more education related stuff here.

Yeah, I did make it read like I was throwing myself up, didn't I?

Sorry

(you're still the nicest person on this whole forum though)

Nope, just honest. If you were to press me for the nicest person on the forum I would suggest pixel42.

Seconded likely, but there are a few contenders. :)

And like myself until I remembered a half hour ago... you think this dude is a woman and not the writer of the character of that name. :)
I presume.
Not a reason to be more or less polite, or demanding. But I did need the correction just now. It's a guy thing, I guess. :D


And Amy, dude... please ask the mods for a nik alteration/modification/whatever... it's just wrong as is. :(

Nope (sorry), that ain't gonna happen. I put it in my "about me" message, and if folks want to assume that I'm a female, I don't have a problem with it.

ETA: it's also the name of the kitty in my Avatar

Oh my God, I just saw an ad for them (Tuttletwins.com) on a Queen (the band) YouTube video. That is just too funny, and I wonder what they think about that?
 
Oh good grief, libertarianism. Pathetic failed economic fantasy, or mental illness?

I'd never come across them so maybe it's a new ad campaign, sadly.
The political tea leaves say... "this is an opportune time". :(

What's interesting (to me anyway) was that the ad wasn't one of those you watch before the video but actually embedded in the video itself.

Of course, that might just be because I googled the website after I started reading this thread.

Damn! Now I'm seeing ads for them from Amazon.
