With a handsome mug like that James Van Der Beek can’t seem to escape the gays anywhere he goes — even when hawking dishes, football phones and Bible-reading glasses with cohost True Blood star Anna Camp on the Indiana Home Shopping Network. The two are confronted by gay and lesbian callers as they attempt to sell their goods to more desirable shoppers, so they try to explain themselves.
“Here in Indiana, we have a religious freedom law,” Van Der Beek explains to viewers. “Which means we don’t have to serve anyone who threatens our religion.”
Camp weighs in, asking, “I mean, can you imagine a world in which a gay couple asks you to make a cake, and then you actually have to sit down and make it?”
Van Der Beek piles on, wondering “What’s next — I’ll leave my wife Cindy and then go shack up with Don in a post-modern house in Palm Springs?”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Oh, James, we can totally picture you in nothing but a jockstrap lounging next to a pool with an Appletini.
Still, there are so many liberals calling in and ruining things. Check it out below.

That was funny.

Anna Camp was awesome in TRUE BLOOD. Haven’t seen James in a while, but he has aged nicely and good on him for participating in this spoof. This is a little long, but it’s hilarious. I’m glad to see Indiana getting its jabs. They may have passed a modified bill that is nigh useless, but f*ck them for trying to pass anything at all.

Love the hilarious spoof at QVC (disguised logo) which invariably slips in Christian affirmations during their sales pitch. Btw, James Van Der Hunk is such a sexy beast!

Awesome. When I read the intro I was really getting angry. After watching I cant stop chuckling

@Volvoguy: Good call! I’m sure he’ll take your sage and well-positioned advice.

@Volvoguy: Considering he is now co-starring with recent Oscar winner Rosanna Arquette in the new CBS hit series CSI Cyber I would guess that his career is more than just viable.

@Volvoguy : This is satire my friend. Kudos to Anna and James for confronting a serious issue with sly sense of humor. Lighten up dude.

@Alan down in Florida: I believe it was Patricia Arquette who won an Oscar.

Who is that bloke? He’s right handsome.
And that woman is brilliant. She almost managed to make Trueblood worth watching.

Very funny. Never realized that Van Der Jerk was such an asshole. Good to know for now on.

Does it really matter who buys their crap… They get paid to make sales not pick an choose who gets what….

Loved her in True Blood and I’ve always had a raging crush on JVB. Great that they took the time to do this.
