Is The "Donnie Davies" Video Dangerous?
Over the past few days many blogs that I read have been discussing the Donnie Davies controversy. Donnie appears to be a right wing fundamentalist Christian musician with a new hit called "The Bible Says". In the video (watch it here) he states in no uncertain terms that god hates homosexuals. It's an obvious joke though. Donnie is wearing a pink shirt, he has a moustache, and lyrics from the song include "Fill me with your love", "Get down on your knees", and "To get into heaven there's no back door".
I think most people agree at this point that the video is a joke and is simply politically incorrect satire. Newspeak and Slog both have well developed theories about Donnie Davies, positing that he may be improv actor Todd Quillen, or a member of the glam/satire band Bobby Conn and the Glass Gypies.
The video is kind of funny, and the attention that it is receiving (and that I am contributing to) is bewildering, but the scary part for me is that Google Video, You Tube, and Myspace have all deleted the video as hate speech. So, whether the video is "real" or not, should all of these online video streamers be so quick to delete it? Is this video at all dangerous?
