So, we figured since NOM’s (National Organization for Marriage) was silly enough to put their casting call videos where people could find them, we might as well play with their green-screens. Here’s our first effort:
Special thanks to JJW for putting this together.
Here’s the crap that emerged from the above casting calls:
From Gawker:
What gay activists say when they hope no one’s listening: Winning same-sex marriage rights is just a matter of waiting for old people to die. Here’s a map of which states will go gay next.
Hirsute blogger Andrew Sullivan spotted the map on the Scroll Blog, which created it using data from election predictor Nate [...]
