It's taken just two weeks for the protests against Prop. 8 to go from historical moment to Weekly World News pop-culture parody, which has to be a record. There really needs to be some sort of index based off of the time it takes between an event happening and the moment a Bat Boy article is done about said event.
We know that this is not news and that half of you will call the article's mention of how "legalizing gay marriage is one step closer to allowing [interspecial] unions to be officially recognized" homophobic and a detriment to the cause, but did you see how Bat Boy has "Prop 8" with a big red 'X' painted on his chest?
We're pleased that Bat Boy has joined with us in supporting marriage equality for all and that "while Bat Boy was unable to convey his feelings through words, he did send his high-pitched squeaks of dissent echoing across the plaza."

This is news? Srsly?
I actually find this a harbinger of good news on the future of Prop 8! As anyone who bothers to read the news will know, Bat Boy's political positions are usually precursors to an Alien endorsement. It happened in '92 when Bat Boy questioned the Bush administration and then the Alien was seen, on the cover of the World Weekly News, meeting then-candidate Bill Clinton and endorsing him for President.
This is some good, welcome news!
You might want to get around to publishing this when it's convenient:

(huckabee saying gays rights aren't civil rights since gays have not had violence inflicted against them)
@psy:
Did those heifers even bother correcting him or mentioning gay violence victims like Matthew Shepard?
@psy:
That's a completely specious argument, and I'm sure the friends and families of Matthew Sheppard, Sakia Gunn, Sean Kennedy and countless others would disagree with him.
@fredo777: One of them said "gay bashing goes on too" to which huckabee responded "but there is Christian bashing too".
Please, please, people! Let us stick to the urgent issue at hand: WHEN WILL THE ALIEN ENDORSE NO on 8?!??!?!
@psy:
God, it's times like these that I wish Rosie were still on the panel.
Oh, hell, she would have told him what was up.
In all fairness, Huckabee did say violence was wrong, but he fails to realize how the intolerance he encourages results in just that. By all means, he should be free to express his opinion, but it's also irresponsible to justify bigotry in any form against gays.
@psy:
In all fairness, I want to secretly fill his bed with aroused porcupines.
@fredo777: I have a suspicion he's partial to pricks, so he might just enjoy that. Perhaps "plague bearing rats" is a more appropriate option.
@psy: Well said. ; )
I suppose with bat Boy's endorsement, some of the World News reader will come over to our side. If not, Giant Baby will sit on them!
@greybat: Giant Baby is a Right Wing, neo-con piece of fuck! Bat Boy goes his own way, man. We need to be watching for Alien…I'm telling you.
I love the Weekly World News. It's honestly a better read then Advocate, Genre, HX and Instinct combined.

What in God's name is apparently good or right, fair or pleasing to the eye (ear) about anything that scumbag had to say about gays?
Specious, my ass. How about stupid, deplorable, horrible, disgusting, infuriating, callous, arrogant? Are you getting my drift yet?
We just never stop hearing from/about that lovely garden of Eden called Arkansas, do we?
