"Will & Grace" triggers gay marriage backlash
On Tuesday voters in eleven states elected to ban gay marriage. Their main reason for doing so may shock you: the rapid decline in quality of TV sitcom "Will & Grace." "Five years ago, I thought gay people were funny," said Penelope Pope of Branson, MO. "Now I just think they live to tell really bad gay jokes."
Pope is not the only voter who feels this way. Exit polls conducted in those eleven states show that the "Will & Grace" factor trumps all other reasons, including the "sinfulness of the homosexual lifestyle," and the "recognition of marriage as one man and one woman," and "because my pastor told me to."
"'Will & Grace' is just so bad that anyone watching it is going to have a negative view of the gay lifestyle," said sociologist J. Robert Garvin. "Voters who associate the bad dialogue and ridiculous plots and don't know any homosexuals are going to have a tough time thinking it is okay for a Will Truman or Jack McFarland to marry another man."
Some see an even bigger plot in the poor quality of "Will & Grace." "I think you can see the big picture here," said conspiracy theorist Curtis Lester. "'Will & Grace' causes a gay backlash, which, in turn, leads voters to reject gay marriage, which, in turn, leads voters to reject John Kerry because he is from Massachusetts, the very state that made gay marriage a campaign issue. The whole thing is a plot by NBC, owned by GE, to ensure that Kerry would not be president." |
