A Gathering Storm -- SRSLY?

In this corner, we have the ad sponsored by the National Organization for Marriage against gay marriage ...



And in this corner, one of several dozen parodies of NOM's ad ...


My colleague and I are working on a joint authored article about Prop. 8, and the same-sex marriage rulings in Iowa and Vermont. I was thinking of talking about NOM's ad, but after watching and re-watching it, I can't even take it seriously anymore. I just start giggling uncontrollably. =D

UPDATE: Rather than analyzing NOM's ad, I may focus on counter-programming and the numerous parodies that abound. That should be fun.
