and these are the assholes that say my peeps can't get married.

1. ironic isn't it?

in a tragic sort of way.

[Ikonoklast]

2. Teh Gays made him do it.

Gettin' married and all.

Makes him really mad, so he needs to choke a loved one to reduce the stress.

Whenever there's a secular humanist commie spouting lies about Republicans on the TV he stomps on puppies.

Makes him feel better.

[Deja Q]

3. Ranks up there with the Muslim who beheaded his wife too

Some of the 46 comment responses were good too...

...and some were horrific.

But, as usual, there is one inevitable truism: Florida. Who needs New Jersey anymore?

Maybe a second truism, Dan Savage's own responses to some of them were the best...

10. it's "god's plan" to have some asshole choke his wife?

its one thing to criticize this asshole. its another to say it's god's plan. Its a distinction I"m sure you can come to understand.

[ColbertWatcher]

13. Pfft.

If a man professes a love for God, what he does is part of God's Plan, nixo facto God approves of this man's behavior.

It's the circle of life!

(Do I need a sarcasm tag?)

[Lerkfish]

25. LOL!

:)

[LeftyMom]

5. Now you want to extend marriage to marshmallows coated in colored sugar?

WILL THE DEPRAVITY NEVER END?!?!?!?!!?????

6. Kirk Cameron's ...movie?? Okay there has to be a banana somewhere in this saga.

15. Kirk's enjoying that demonstration just a little too much...

considerin' he's a homophobic jackass.


:D

[ColbertWatcher]

19. I'm sure he'll blame Hollywood. n/t

[barbtries]

7. follow the links to the smoking gun

they have several "arrested wearing unfortunate t-shirts" mug shots. might cheer you up a notch. :)

[Lost in CT]

8. We are jumping a bit to a conclusion on his religion.

I have a "Blessed be me and fuck the rest of you" T-shirt that doesn't make a certain faith.

That said he looks to clean cut to have picked it up at Goodwill so Religious idiot looks like the right call.

[valerief]

9. Jesus works in mysterious ways, some extremely violent apparently. nt

11. Some of the most hypocritical people are always worried about what

others are doing. What a scum bag.

16. Are you sure you weren't watching a Simpson's episode?

Otherwise, that is so ironic that there must be a god.

[stubtoe]

17. Stupid question: what's a 'peep'??

I'm an old fart...

[Gwendolyn]

18. Peeps = people... as in, my peeps, my people.

[stubtoe]

20. Thanks! .. I'm so out of the lingo anymore I appreciate all the help I can get.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

21. In keeping with the Christian theme...

[stubtoe]

22. Oh Funny!!!

See, THAT's what comes to mind when I hear "peeps" - those neon-colored globs of sugar covered in sugar, best eaten when stale.

What is this grouping from, a Peeps contest?

[WorseBeforeBetter]

24. Mmm, I like 'em when they're super-soft.

I have no idea, I just lifted the pic from the Internets. :-) There's a Peeps-tastic group on Flickr:

[sweetpotato]

36. Peeps - best when stale and crunchy

Seriously.

[ThatsMyBarack]

23. ....

:rofl:

[JuniperLea]

26. You'd like the new shower gel!

And to glitter glam banks to help you save your money...



Doesn't Jesus look like he's about to bust a glam punk move?

[Stargazer09]

29. There must be something...

...sacrilegious about Jesus and Mary shower gel containers and glittery "piggy" banks.

I understand that people want to express their faith, but some things are just tasteless.

[JuniperLea]

35. That's exactly how I feel...

And I'm a recovering Fundie:)

:hi:

I remember catching hell as a kid because I was going to be in a college production of Jesus Christ Superstar... my how times have changed.

A friend of mine, and ex seminarian, started an ill-fated website based on the imaginary antics of the Action Figure Jesus I gave him for Xmas. It was a collection of hideousness much like the shower gel and banks.

[Stargazer09]

38. I don't think I want to know

What your friend did with his Action Figure Jesus. :D

Yes, times have changed. Unfortunately, not necessarily for the better.

:hi:

[enuegii]

33. Is that supposed to be Mary..

in the top pic? Younger than her son, apparently, who also appears to be checking her out?
It's a good thing that I don't indulge, otherwise I might be creeped right out.

[Stargazer09]

28. Oh, perfect!

Love that picture! :)

[Stevenmarc]

27. Talk about a Purpose Driven

[Stargazer09]

30. Well, maybe he loves his marriage

But as the blog stated, he doesn't seem to love his wife.

Maybe his wife got tired of being treated like a second-class citizen and wanted "rights" and "freedom."

Or maybe he's just an asshole.

[malaise]

31. Guess that marriage was

certainly not Fireproof.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

32. Isn't felony domestic battery by strangulation a threat to the institution of marriage?

These peeps are getting married:



Your peeps should be able to get married, too!

[BlooInBloo]

40. Nope, just teh gheys.

[Fuzz]

34. Respect my authority!

[BlooInBloo]

39. Heh indeedy.
