Now, before anyone get’s their panties in a twist, hear me out, I think that when I’m done, you’ll blame gay marriage too.
You see, I’m sick and tired of the whole gay marriage debate. Not, I point out, because I’m opposed to it. On the contrary, I don’t see where the government has any business telling consenting adults what they can and cannot do in the privacy of their own home. Still, as we all know, the issue isn’t going to go away so long as either side can use it to make some political capital. So, in an effort to short circuit the politicos schemes, I have decided to assign blame for every bad thing on gay marriage. That way, people will get sick of hearing about the matter and after hearing it being labelled as The Source of All Evil[sup]TM[/sup] for the 1.1235X10[sup]23[/sup]th time, they’ll say, “Oh, fuck it! I don’t care! Let the bastards marry! Hell, I’ll even have a gay wedding just to piss you off and I’m straight!” At which point, gay marriage will be legalized, and we can all get on to more important things like dealing with terrorists, global warming and the like.
So when someone asks me why Tucker never built his car, I’ll simply say, “Gay marriage” and then come up with the most bizarre and convoluted explaination for gay marriage being responsible that I can. Someone asks why the Columbia broke apart, the answer is: Gay marriage. Why did we get attacked on 9/11? Gay marriage. Why did the puppy get run over by the steam roller? Gay marriage. Why is gas so expensive? Gay marriage. Why were you late for work? Gay marriage.
Even better is that by throwing out gay marriage as a source of all that ails us, we can get extremists on either side of any issue to join the fray. When someone denies global warming, tell them that scientists have conclusively proved that global warming is caused by gay marriage and watch how quickly they change their tune. Suddenly, they’ll state that they knew all along global warming was real and that gay marriage was to blame! Some granola munching leftie getting on your case because you own guns? Blame it on gay marriage! That’ll make his head spin! He’ll quickly decide that you’re too far out there for him to bother with and let you get back to your target practice.
So won’t you join me in blaming gay marriage for everything? The more that we hammer away at it in an absurd manner, the more people will see it as a non-threatening issue and we can get on with our lives.
If this works, I’m soooo going to start blaming polygamy for everything.
