yo, is this for real?

Check out this music video (requires QuickTime, as well as a receptable safe for you to vomit in). It's via Drek and Brayden. Is this serious? Regardless, I think it is such a complete and perfect triumph of ickyschmaltz as to close out the entire nascent and unsavory genre of post 9/11 patriotic kitsch.

Update: Seriously, this video is something special, even if you are never one to click on video links in blogs. On the one hand, the video has too high of production costs to actually be a joke, especially since it would be such a sick joke; on the other hand, it's just too catastrophically over the top for it to have actually been intended seriously. I've watched the video three times now, and it is like staring at a Necker Cube.
