This is quite possibly the greatest thing I've seen all week. Better even than the Bad Sex Lifetime Achievement Award. Not possible, you say? Oh, but wait...I found this on Perez Hilton (my guiltiest of all guilty pleasures). I have to say, it's pretty brilliant. It originally came from Funny or Die. What is it? You really should click the link to find out...
Okay, but I'll still tell you. It is Proposition 8: The Musical.
In case you've been living under a rock, Proposition 8 was the ballot initiative that just squeaked by in California, effectively writing discrimination into the state constitution. While the US took a massive step toward equality as a country in the recent November election (they Ba-rocked the vote, if you will), California banned gay marriage. This sparked mass outrage and became a hugely divisive issue...just as the country was on the brink of some sort of unity.
Anyway, I won't go totally political, but the video--a star-studded affair with Jack Black, John C. Reilly, Neil Patrick Harris, Maya Rudolph and many more--is hilarious. And, spoiler alert, basically says that gay marriage is the answer to the current economic crisis.
Funny or Die just keeps getting better.
