Whipping out the big guns
I'll see your creepy and raise you an awful.
If you click on Lumpy's name you can go to the videos of him gleefully shooting big guns.
Paging Dr. Freud ...
"Historic" or not--those videos are downright scarey
What an ego maniac! The wardrobe department really ought to be fired. This is the mind of a man who helps govern us? The teen dating thing was kind of perverted. Highlighting the romantic fantasies of young kids is just what this country needs. There could be hope though for Lumpy's video career. UTube does give someone like him a lot of exposure. Is it only a rumor that Britney Spears has approached him to do a dance number on her next music video?
2 cups of coffee
After 2 cups of coffee, all I can say is.....CREEPY
thank you for removing my earlier post
Seriously, this video was consistent with the maturity level of his vacation videos - all seemingly posted under his YouTube account, but Lumpy could be the victim of identity theft. My apologies, Lump.
You will note it appears to
You will note it appears to be filmed on the set of Politics Knoxville, hosted by City Councilman Steve Hall. Note the flags in the background.
It's goofy and appears to be a takeoff on some of the dating shows on network TV.
I am so depressed. Just when
I am so depressed. Just when I think there is hope for the youth of today...
note to self: stay off youtube.
Lumpy's film
A friend filmed this. I actually ran into them downtown just after they finished filming. The video was for the Knox 10 Hour Film Fest that took place in July. Lumpy is part of the local indie film group. Those are kids that live near Lumpy that also helped him campaign. They seemed like good kids. I don't know why this was Lumpy's choice for a film, hopefully there weren't perverted motives. I know Lumpy from CTV, I like the film-making Lumpy better than the politician Lumpy. He would be better as a politician had he not aligned himself with Scott Moore.
