A half-minute Don’t Say Gay PSA has gone viral after YouTube user playahata646 and his little brother demonstrated a funny and pithy way to discourage people from using the phrase.

“In 8th grade we had a PSA project. ( Public Service Announcement) Don’t Say Gay. I chose a funny way to present it. Subscribe! And thanks to my little brother for being the star!” He wrote on his YouTube page.

The eighth grader’s little brother shines in the clip after he slaps his brother across the face and admonishes his brother for using the phrase, “gay.”

“Don’t say ‘gay,’” he yells. “It’s mean, and it’s offensive!”

    First gays wanted to be called gay - now they don't? What is the word choice now? Crooked (as opposed to straight)? Opps, can't take that one, that's reserved for the political set in Chicago...

      Why should anyone care what they, or any group "wants to be called"? Homosexuals are homosexuals.

      That is what happens when you trust gays around children. Nothing good comes out of it.

      There's a big difference between being gay and being a pedofile. And being molested as a child does not make you gay, nor does bad parenting. If Sandusky was molesting little girls he'd still be a pedofile.

      Itsallrelative; he happens to be a gay pedophile. He's a pedophile nonetheless, but if his target is the same sex as him; he's homosexual. And being molested as a child doesn't make the child gay; however, if the child continues down that path and they practice same-sex intercourse by choice, the individual is homosexual. I know someone who was molested as a child and though they knew it was wrong, because it happened to them for so long, they led a homosexual lifestyle. He's no longer amongst the living.

    The term 'gay' (before it was Pirated), originally meant 'happy' and 'carefree'. It was also a lovely name given to women years ago. The re-definintion of the word came in the late 1970's/early 80's.

    Instead of teaching your kids not to "offend" someone, why not teach them not to be violent and stupid.

    Slugging people in the face is okay, I guess.

    I just don't need any more PSA's, thank you. Can we eliminate the propaganda, and redirect those funds to the national debt?

    Oh right. Don't say a word that really means happy, but you can beat the crap out of someone and THAT is ok.
    How about don't say "gay" when you mean HOMOSEXUAL! Just say the real word. What is it you are afraid of?
