A storm is gathering. Are you afraid, Christian? Are you afraid *enough*?

My favorite part has got to be the lightning.

The fake lightning, that is, flashing just off to the side, a cheap 'n' cheesy special effect that momentarily lights up the actors' faces in the most sweetly melodramatic way as they stand there against the dark 'n' stormy backdrop like devout Christian zombies, delivering delightfully weird and wooden lines about being openly terrified of those openly terrifying gay married people.


Yes, it's merely another series of strange, alarmist, deeply homophobic ads from yet another seething anti-gay group you've never heard of (the National Organization for Marriage, or NOM), ads which are running right now in five states in response to two stunning, watershed gay marriage upheavals in Iowa and Vermont, AKA two more states now shamelessly roaring down the highway to hell.

Have you heard? Turns out the married gays are still on the march. No longer merely a coastal phenomenon, undeterred by the economic recession, as yet unsmited by God's redneck fury, these bizarre, relentlessly loving creatures are now invading the heartland. Will the nightmare of love never end?

You just gotta see these strange, hateful little ads (as of this writing, the unintentionally hilarious audition reels of the terrible actors reciting the fake lines have been, alas, taken down).

2. My "favorite" part is the light brown spokesman for that outfit at the end.

We know what button those bastards are trying to push with that stunt.

And my second favorite part is the bit about the Massachusetts mother whose kids are being TAUGHT that gay marriage is OK!!! What, did that fictional nitwit just sober up? Massachusetts has been at this gay marriage thing for awhile, now--and the sky hasn't fallen (fake lightning notwithstanding).

OH....the horror!!! The absolute HORROR!!! That commercial is the worst piece of schlock I have seen in quite some time...!
