Turning the Other Cheek . . . With Cheek



Straight Guy,

I meant to blog last week about Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry's "Strong" ad, which is not only mean-spirited but also short on logic.  Rick, if you need to stoop this low, it's an admission that your campaign is in the toilet. If you haven't watched "Strong" you should. Bottom line: Both gays in the military and the Obama administration are waging a "war on religion." Who knew?

Perry's ad came out last Wednesday. The benefit of not finding time to blog about it last week is that the parodies keep rolling in. Appropriate to the season, Perry's vid is the gift that keeps giving. Check out the featured vid above from our friends at Funny or Die. God bless 'em. Whoops. Forgot. Only Rick Perry and his voting block know how God sees fit to bless. (You should probably watch the Perry ad before you watching the Funny or Die video.  

In the Funny or Die video, Jesus turns the other cheek. Best line: "What have gays in the military ever done to Rick Perry except keeping him safe while he executed the mentally retarded?" 

See . . .  witty AND logical.

Here's another laugh-out-loud Strong parody vid.  Watch it.

I swear that pundits and politicians have iPhone apps for their sound bytes and ads - "use the words 'gay, military, attack, and religion' in any order in a paragraph before the next news cycle and you'll get 57% more attention!!"

At least we can say that Perry inspires creativity.
