George Takei is awesome.
I am totes getting me a button or T-shirt.
Love George! I’m gonna have to get me one of those coffee mugs. It’s perfect and soooooo Takei.
Spreading Sulu: A glittery mix of anti-homophobic dust that will negate any bigotry or stereotypes.
@4 “Feel the Sulu, bigots!”
Finally, through the magic of rhyming, a way for George Takei to make people once and for all know how to correctly pronounce his name!
(and also, the lawmakers in Tennessee are morons)
The singing at the end is EPIC! Also, is that the star trek logo?
@6:
Actually, he made that point very clear several years ago at a celebrity roast for William Shatner: “My name is prounounced ‘Takei’. It rhymes with ‘toupee’…”
The older and more eccentric he gets, the more I love him.
Please live forever, George Takei.
George Takei definitely won the internet for the day. This video was even picked up by some major news websites.
@4 Spreading Sulu shall be the phrase of the week. Props to you!
I love this man more than life itself.
I really love George Takei. He’s a great representative for the Takeis.
That is the strangest jobs bill I’ve ever seen.
@15 think of all the ceramic mug silk screeners, mouse pad…stitchers(?) and button pressers they’ve put to work!
I love George. I met him 2 months ago and we talked for 15 or 20 minutes about the Japan earthquake. He tried to teach me the finger split but I failed.
Awesome! ha ha! I am so gonna use takei from now on…
Steady as she goes commander Sulu.
That was so awesome. Gonna go get a button now. 🙂
Heh. Only he could make a parade in his name sound like something *other* than obscene narcissism.
Keep up the good work!
He’s takeing it back!!
This is 100 kinds of awesome.
Givin’ all she’s got captain! You go, Mr. The-gay.

This is awesome, but to what charity do the proceeds go? His website doesn’t say. I don’t know if I should buy a T-shirt, or donate directly to PFLAG… I still want pin though.
@25 You can do both, you know. Dig deep.
Okay, this was adorable.
As far as which charity:
“George Takei supports many different charities — from LGBT groups and other civil rights groups to humanitarian missions and the arts. He will be donating all of his profits from this merchandise to the charity of his choice.”
