Have A Good-Natured Laugh About Gay Marriage
Funny man Jon Stewart and his gang of merry Daily Show men spent some time yesterday reviewing California's gay marriage madness, including the stunning revelation that a child with two Jewish mothers is inevitably fucked.
After the jump, Daily Show correspondents Jamie Oliver and Jason Jones learn a little lesson the difference between marrying for love and marrying for a citizenship. Best line goes to Oliver: "I want to be sodomized by your constitution." Who doesn't?!

Um..It's.John Oliver….not Jamie Oliver. Jamie Oliver is a TV chef not a daily show correspondent.
Hahaha! I love the bit about the ovaries and testicles.
Jon Stewart is one of our best straight allies. He's also really funny.
In other TV happenings: during Craig Ferguson's monologue last night, he did some jokes about the CA gay marriage topic. When he intro'd it, it seemed like the majority of people were clapping + cheering; then, it turned to quite a few of them booing + the noise died down shortly thereafter.
I thought that was interesting. By "interesting", I mean kinda sucky.
Anyway, Jason Jones is sexy.
And that "aboot" bit was funny as hell.
Jon Stewart is fantastic!
I don't think that was very funny. Getting married in California, or Massachusettes does not qualify gay couples for immigration benefits. I love The Daily Show, but I have seen better.
I agree David, and although it is obviously humor, the implicit suggestion is that gays will exploit marriage as a means to get a gay lover legal immigration status. Which is one of the right wings's arguments against supporting Uniting American Families Act, the equality in immigration law sponsored by Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY).
Gay marriage will also be used as a springboard for the polygamists in our country to demand equal rights, as well. The whole subject is just gross. Next we hear, PETA will want rights to marry animals that are subjected to abuse in order to save animals from cruelty……
don't straight people exploit it in the same way??
we just want equality, right?
and if you get caught up in the mundane particulars of policy, you won't think anything is funny ever
I wasn't really offended. I just thought that it wasn't that funny.
RPCV, don't you fear the gay mafia you surely believe in is coming after you? Because you're on thin ice here…
I didn't like the Jewish mother's joke. I know, I know what the stereotype is, just didn't find it funny thankyounotsomuch. But the last one… so happy making. It was gold.
Ah. I LOVE George Takai!
