They needed to have some David Bowie playing in the background.


actually I was thinking Elton John's Rocket Man...

"Mars ain't the kind of place to raise a kid, In fact it's cold as hell."

and I prefer the Shatner rendition for the above line reading.

Thank you, Eric!

To QM and others who seem to think it is all about biology and procreating...if that is your argument then the same can be said about people who don't want children or can't have children. But I have a feeling that your not for banning them from getting married are you?
The pro-gay-marriage side keeps trying to make this into a civil rights/equality issue. It is not. Blacks fought for the SAME rights that Whites have; gays are fighting for a redefinition of the linchpin of society itself to suit their needs.
With the arrival of civil unions, the acceptance by the free market of gays as a marketing bloc and government as a voting bloc, most of the steam in the argument for gay equality is gone in the best way: it's been achieved! Even Elton John can't figure out what American gays are upset about; he has a British civil union and doesn't care what it's called.
Quantum, what exactly ARE the benefits of marriage?
The institution itself provides legal protections and advantages that live-ins don't have, to the point that in some states live-ins are considered married by "common law".
Marriage promotes order and discourages random sexual encounters which may spread disease or create offspring without parents to care for them.
Marriage provides a measure financial stability and a structured family unit extra-protected by laws in which children are better off.


Heavens no! Not rules and structure! Liberals will have strict rules for my taxes, guns, and health care...but this morality...it must be done away with.

How do YOU know they did nothing to stop Prop 8 prior to the election? Just because they didn't make this video before the election doesn't mean they ALL were doing nothing. Maybe some of them donated money and/or their time to Equality For All, the main group opposed to Prop 8. NoOnProp8 web site.
What did you two do? Did you donate anything to the No On Prop 8 campaign? I'll bet not. So easy to criticize while you're doing jackshit, isn't it?

How do I know?

Because I live in California, am on nearly every one of these comedians email list and FB app, and there was not ONE commercial or letter-to-editor, blog or email from any of these people.

I followed prop8 very closely. Listening to the radio, following LA Times daily, etc. Hell, even Elton John didn't lift a finger, while Brad Pitt (not gay) donated $100,000.00.

And yes, I DID give money to the cause as well as protested. Is that "jack shit"?


[edit] ps KP - thanks for the downvote, for assuming that I'm a hypocrite. I didn't downvote you for unfairly attacking me over something you know nothing about. And I still won't, because downvoting a comment that you just disagree with is childish and petty.

Elton John--who is gay--wondered aloud at the vehemence of these militant gays. He pointed out civil unions confer the same rights as marriage and therefore couldn't understand the fuss.


No he didn't.

TLF = Typical Liberal Fascism.

Hate speech = opinions you don't agree with.

Video = lazy drive-by media quoting some idiot who's not even in the LDS church.

TLF.

^ Since it's a song by Elton John, I think it will be better suited for Blankfist's and your wedding.

holy shit, cal! thx!
i didn't even know you tossed this up! shoulda' pinged my page, amigo!

kismet that i should come across it, while trying to make up for the other discard i just promoted. feddy tossed it up a month later... crap, it's in the deadpool anyway.

hmm... and i did have my eye on another nugget of yours, that i just came across...

How did he manage to make a version of Benny and the Jets that sounds even more incomprehensible than the original?

I'm sorry, I have to voice my opinion somewhere, right? If Eddie Vedder and Elton John had a child..........It would be Eli Matson, I mean this by no means in a good way. Would you pay $100 in Vegas to see something so unoriginal, ya ya so there are a million and one unoriginal Elvis acts, but who in their right mind would shell out money to see Eli Matson? How can Pierce? Why would Pierce?
I'll tell you why, cause he grew up in England listening to Elton his whole life, only reason he gives praise to Eli. It's also the only reason he would buy Eli's album, I assume Eli's family and friends would also be among the small group of loyal fans that follow him into his deep dark decent of cover albums. "Well he must be good, he got this far" you say.

Fact of the matter is, Hes an awesome (I use the term semi-loosely) Pianist. Until I hear an original Album Produced by some big wig industry name, I have to ask myself, how in the world could he be in the top ten, and is this all America has to offer?

Remember this:

If he was on American Idol, he wouldn't have made it past the first episode.

Thank you for the promote.
