'08
Funny or Die has put out this great Prop 8 musical parody full of comedic talent. Prop 8, which overturned a six month long statute allowing same sex couples to marry in California, passed this election day with 52.47% of the popular vote.
This faux musical, featuring John C. Reilly, Allison Janney, Lake Bell, and Sarah Chalke as Prop 8 supporters and Maya Rudolph, Andy Richter, and Margaret Cho and as same sex marriage proponents, premiered today. It offers a valid argument to opponents of same sex marriage who use The Bible for justification. Jack Black as Jesus notes that The Bible also calls shellfish an abomination and tells people they can stone their wives and sell their daughters into slavery. Neil Patrick Harris comes in to wrap things up with a catchy tune about the ways that same sex marriage can save the economy, winning over the other side. Let’s hope that this little musical portends things to come and that same sex couples can finally get nationwide rights that should have been granted decades ago.

A musical to support Gay marriage? I’m LOVING the irony!

Wow, what an amazing cast. And it’s just a shame that *some* people think it’s their business what *other* people are doing with their bits and pieces.

Baholicious, it’s more “appropriate” than “ironic.” (Sorry! One of my peeves is the overuse and often misues of the word ironic. Damn you, Alanis Morissette!)
There are a lot of other names in the supporting chorus but barely get any face time. I was refreshing FunnyorDie.com last night waiting for this, and it was so worth it. It’ll amuse those who are already against Prop 8 and probably do nothing to convert anyone for it, but you know, at least Neil Patrick Harris is still awesome.

Hey look everyone, it’s that fat dumb googly-eyed ball of grease Jack Black and he’s making all the funny evaporate.

I suppose this will make a bunch of rich Hollywood types feel special about themselves…
Making fun of people is a _greaaat_ way to make them support you. Remember when MLK Jr went to Washington and gave his famous “Dumb Crackas” speech that brought about civil rights?
Hell, if anything, this will make the supporters of Prop 8 work ten times as hard, since this just further supports their notion that Hollywood is filled with smug pricks who hate them.

Neil Patrick Harris has really grown as a performer – he’s great. A true talent. Who would have expected it from Doogie Howser M.D.?

Honestly speaking from a neutral standpoint, you cannot separate state & religion in the Prop 8 issue. Literally the argument cannot hold….why? Where do you go to get married? Church. Who is responsible for the marriage of 2 people? A priest/reverend. So if 2 people of the same sex get married, of course other religions will take note and go against it since it strikes a chord to them. The equality issue may make an argument, but the separation of religion and state is hard to hold up.

Here’s an interesting take:

Jake, marriages can also be performed by justices of the peace in city halls. Not all weddings need to be religious, and I think that separation of church and state still very much applies to the issue.
