Be warned-political commentary snark fest ahead!

Neil Patrick Harris, Jack Black, and lots of other folks give us a lesson on California's Prop 8.

In a most lovely manner. 




So, I sent this little vid to none other than Wil Wheaton (and you know how I feel about the Wil).  I got this back.

That's awesome. Blogg'd!

lmao! that's great as well as true and unfortunatly that's how my parents are as well -_-;

we were watching TV and an ad for eHarmony came on and my mom made a comment how the gays were ruining the site/industry since they forced the company (which is Christan btw...I didn't know that) to match same-sex partners. I didn't say anything because I knew that I'd start something I didn't want to get into at the moment but I just hate that narrow minded way of thinking.

Some of my best friends are either gay or bi and it's people like those in the sketch that unfortunatly run our country and I hate that.

I know, right? Isn't it great?

I have that issue with my parents and my sister to some extent, but not really. I'm old enough now that it's a non-issue. I just let them be and they let me be. It's all good that way.

I didn't know eHarmony was Christian. Hm...I think a website should have the right to cater to whatever clientele they want and not be forced to do things against their will. However, since I have no issue with homosexuality, for me, I think they should just suck it up and move into the twentieth century and realize it's good business to not exclude people. Whatever.

I have good friends that are of all orientations and religions, and it's all good by me. One of my favorite words is acceptance. Just how I roll.

Oh, and it's not the people in the sketch, but the characters that are an issue, but that's the point. I suspect the actors are pretty cool folks.

*grin*

me to, and I know that that the people were just playing a bit but it just frustrates me to no end that people are still so small minded about this kind of thing.

I could care less if someone one I know turns out to be a different religion/orentation than me, if I liked them before why should this new piece of information change how I look at them?

I don't talk to my parents and sister about politics because my views differ so much from them that we just end up fighting, which is really dumb but that just makes me not want to tell them.

Glad to bring a ROTFL! Dearest Hels posted it on The Softwire. I gakked it quicker than anything, sent it to Wil and posted here. And now, nine hours later, it's on Yahoo's front page-points to headline and yells "Look! I am informed on current events! See? SEE?" What a lovely day!

I don't like Jack Black, but I loved that video!

(As for eHarmony, it wasn't "Christian"... the founder said he'd never done the same research into same-sex relationships that he had mixed genders, and that one of the primary goals of eHarmony is to end in marriage, which isn't legal in most states. eHarmony's board felt the suit was creating an unfair characterization of the site, and agreed to settle the matter by launching a second site for same-sex seekers.)

I hear ya on the Jack, friend. Sometimes he does it for me (High Fidelity), and other times not so much (everything else).

But he was good in The X-Files! (D.P.O)

And on the other note-thanks for clarifying.
