Too funny, little hoopie! :D

But a little scary, when you stop to think about the ignorance of those who say these types of things in all seriousness . . . :eek:

[hoops]

Sara, there is an actual ad out there showing what is being spoofed here in a much more serious tone. and you are right, it is scary as heck

I love the spoof....I don't want to even see the "original".

Could this be....the perfect storm?

I've seen the original ad plus these different spoofs - they are all funny. If you haven't seen the original it's hard to understand what they are spoofing.

The original was so ridiculously untrue that - well, I doubt they will continue with that ad campaign.

The original is ridiculous and terribly boring in itself. I can't believe people take it seriously and have the patience to sit through it. I am glad they are making so many spoofs.

LOL!

I wanna live where the gay people are dropping out of the sky!

:)

I love this line:

"I also have an issue with their hot lunch program."

:D

Tell me they did not say a "coming storm" and that they were a "rainbow coallition" in the original ad.

I believe Mark Twain wrote: "Against a wall of laughter nothing can stand". So let's keep laughing. If nothing else, it will drive the "moralists" crazy.

thanks for finding that sally

I caught the original on the HRC website. The spoof here made me laugh tonight. Thanks!
