There’s this commercial they run on Fox news all the time.  In fact, up until just the other day, I thought it was only run on Fox News but then I saw it on, I believe Comedy Central.

The commercial is basically a bunch of children saying what they want to be when they grow up:

“I’m a life and I want to be an astronaut.”

“I’m a life and I want to be a supreme court justice.” (as if a 9 year old girl even knows what that means)

And of course it ends with this 10 year old black girl who says “I want to be president of the United States!  And I’m a life!”

Yeah.  The only realistic part of this commercial is the little girl who says, “I want to be a mom.”  Yeah, I’m pretty sure you can pull that one off.

Other than that, someone should tell these kids to reach a little lower.

Look, if you have kids, I think it’s great to encourage them.  But let’s not be delusional here.  There are maybe what, a dozen astronauts in this country?  There’s what, nine Supreme Court Justices?  I know there’s only one president.

However, there are plenty of moms.

All I’m saying is that this pro-life commerical is entirely stupid.  And these poor deluded child actors.  Well, maybe they’re not actually deluded because they are reading from a script, but if there are little black girls out there who think they can be the president one day…sorry honey, but that’s pretty fucking unlikely.

They really should remake this commercial a little more realistic.

“I’m a life, and I want to drive a cab!”

“I’m a life and I want to be unemployed and hang out in my parent’s basement!”

“I’m a life and I want to get addicted to meth and sell my body for it!”

See, there are lots of people who do these things.  Maybe if this commercial was a little more realistic I could get down with the pro-lifers.  Nah, probably not.
