Targeting traditional marriage

[greatbear]

Right wingers, religion-addled nutcases and even self-hating closet cases go on and on about how Teh Gheys™ are out to destroy "traditional" marriage. It's all a big lie, of course, but that gigantic fact is lost in all the stupid. However, if indeed some nefarious homosexual wants to set out and eliminate so-called traditional marriage, may I suggest a drone strike!

This is actually a wedding photo shoot gone wrong. Some overenthusiastic wedding photographer and, presumably, RC flight enthusiast decided to "wed" his two pursuits by attaching a GoPro video camera to a Phantom quadrotor RC helicopter and use the contraption to take flyby/flyover video of his subjects. By the comments in the video, it seemed the first take went well and the photog decides to do another take. This one resulted in too much forward speed and not enough lift, and it literally took down the poor couple. It is kinda funny, but it could have been a lot worse. The groom received a cut on his head, but the couple still laughed it off. With four fast-spinning rotors, the thing is basically a flying weedeater.

So much for the sank titty of marriage.

I want one.

I have a much smaller, much cheaper little quadcopter and even with the controller set on "beginner" mode (my name for it, but it's effectively the "training wheels" mode) it takes some practice to get it to do what one wants - and of course if there's a gust of wind, all bets are off.

I have to laugh when the fundies say that if gays are allowed to get married, it will destroy heterosexual marriage as we know it.

Um, with a 58% divorce rate, the heterosexuals seem to be doing a splendid job of destroying heterosexual marriage all by themselves, thank you.

I suppose overkill was inevitable.

I've seen these in operation. Last summer at the Bainbridge Island 4th of July parade and street fair.

The video company that was operating it, got some fantastic shots of the parade, and of the area too.

I managed this shot of it in action during the parade.

And no, this shot came out perfectly.



And here is a link to the site that has the video of it in action that day.

But did all those whirling rotors mess up the bride's hair on her big day???

When my sister got married, she sprayed like half a can of hairspray on her hair. "These bangs," she said, "are not gonna move."

That is pretty funny, I have to admit--I particularly like the guys legs on the ground.

At some point, though, you'd have thought someone would have said "You know, this might not be the best idea...."
