In the wake of the Supreme Court’s refusal to grant a stay on a federal judge’s ruling that struck down Alabama’s ban on same-sex marriage, self-proclaimed “redneck news reporter” Jeremy Todd Addaway tried (and failed) to find evidence that gay marriage was destroying the Yellowhammer State.
“I read on the news today some information that homosexuals will be gettin’ married in Alabama today, so I wanted to give you a live report from Blount County,” Addaway reports.
He then takes viewers on a hunt for evidence of “homosexual things.”
“This pile of brush is still here,” he says, “and there are no homosexuals layin’ on top of it, doin’ homosexual things. None in the shed either.”
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.
The conclusion?
“It looks like we’re pretty safe here in Blount County,” Addaway reports. “Don’t think we’re gonna be subject to plagues of homosexuals fallin’ from the sky.”
“Everything,” he concludes, “is pretty much still the same.”

I don’t like the attitude of this article. He was actually showing how ridiculous those anti-gay idiots are. So he intentionally “failed”

Alabama is destroying Alabama.

@Xzamilio: I agree. Just didn’t come off in a SNL kind of way.

@Harley: Who “he”? The one who wrote this article or the guy in the video?

I like his look and style, but I think he could have “investigated” a little more thoroughly.

@Xzamilio: @Stache99: Do you think he would have been more successful if he had taken the investigation more seriously?
Xzamilio
@jwtraveler: I wish he had been “successful” and actually found someone who claimed to be affected by same-sex marriage being legal in Alabama. Besides, there’s nothing serious about the claim, so I find his whole satirical take on this very much on par with “Ask a stupid question and you’ll get a stupid answer.”

This is hilarious! Humor is an effective way of highlighting ridiculous notions ignorant and religious freaks use to justify their discrimination.

@Xzamilio: I think that was the point.
Xzamilio
@jwtraveler: That was the point so what are you going on about?
