| Holy crap. In a new, curious decision, the Massachusetts Supreme Court
recently lifted the ban on gay civil marriages. For those of you who have been living in a
cave and have only recently discovered new technology (Game Boy, the NES, zippers), this
means in Massachusetts, people can take that step those oh-so-mean conservatives have been
holding against them for so long, despite 3,000 years of modern civilization saying it
wasn't a good thing. The justices ruled 4-3 in favor of the marriages despite the Defense
of Marriage Act passed by the U.S. Congress in 1996, keeping federal acknowledgment of
such marriages. Massachusetts law makers now have 90 days to figure out how to make them
Constitutional.
But let's not think about that.
Let's forget about the decay of the American family system. Let's forget about the fact
the overwhelming majority of Americans do not want to explain to these things to their
children. Let's forget that I have no personal bias against gay people in the least.
Let's forget about all that. Let's just be "open minded," as liberals are so
fond of saying.
Instead, let's think about all the new doors this new development opens up! Yes! In the
middle of November 2003, the world is now bright and shiny, full of new prospects and
propositions for us all? What prospects?
I thought you'd never ask.
Remember...morality is relative these days, so even if you don't agree with any of
these, people will tell you (really) you can't judge them and you can't tell them how they
feel. It's usually a bunch of crap about how "you don't know me, you can't judge
me." This is despite that just about everything follows a pattern and if a telephone
rings, that means there's someone on the other line. A fish is not going to jump out of
the handset because fish don't jump out of handsets. So...remember...in line with the
Massachusetts Supreme Court, you cannot judge people who might want to marry the following
things.
Relatives
(insert picture here...I looked for relatives pictures, but
it was too gross. Your mother was on there, by the way...she says hi and sends her
love.)
If you have a hot cousin out there, now's the time to act. You've known him or her for
most of your life...why not for the rest of your life? Marriages are intended to be
lifelong...and that's just what you and Bobby Joe or Sally May can do. Why not? If you are
in love, who does the government think they are to stop you?! HOW DARE THEY! It's all
about the relationship, of course...and since morality is relative these days and since
there's nothing wrong with gay civil marriage, you should be allowed to marry a relative.
How you'll handle the deformed kids later down the road is beside the point because
supposedly, relationships are not about sex, even though they have everything to do with
sexual preference. How that works, I'm not too sure.
Animals

Your dear dog Fido and your precious cat Fluffy, George the Wonder Fish and even your
wonderful pet falcon (because everyone has falcons) may soon be flying the coop in pursuit
of marriage.
Yes...why not marry animals? Stupid question, you say? NO! See, we are no longer people
of morality and enforcement. We can no longer impose our morals on someone simply because
we don't like it. Soon, we should be able to see people walking hand in paw with other
animals...and we should not be appalled or offended.
Trees

Theres this tree out back Ive had my eye on for a while....its REALLY
nice looking...and I think well get married some day. With this new turn of events,
I will soon be able to do so! The one Ive been checking out has this knothole in
it....and oo, baby...a little lube will fix things right up for me. Think thats
sick? Check out the logging industry from the early 1900s. Perhaps in this day and age of
"free thinking" and relative morality, man and tree could TRULY be one. It kinda
gives a new meaning to "tree hugger," donchathink?
Cars

Huh huh...they're gonna do it. ROFL!~1
Many people say they love their cars, run down and shot as they may be. No one ever
takes them seriously. Well...now, maybe people SHOULD start taking them seriously! And
when a man loves a car...or a woman loves a car...then they should be allowed to marry.
Hell, what OTHER function does a tailpipe serve? Wait...I forgot...the argument
doesnt have anything to do with sexuality, but it has everything to do with
relationships.
Honestly, Im not sure how Id act if I saw some guy humping his cars
tailpipe. Id probably hope for his sake the car was turned OFF...then call the cops.
Or Id introduce him to the forest out back...lots of trees out there...
Computers

Slim, sleek and ready for action.
Man. Computer. They spend lots of time together...imagine a world where computers and
man can marry! If I were to marry a computer, itd be my laptop. That way, we could
see everything together...inseparable. I could take my laptop on trips with me...and late
at night, when everythings quiet, I could play around with its hard drive and USB
ports....holy crap, Im starting to like that idea already. We should all petition
our state courts for marriage rights!
Michael
Jackson
I think Mr. Jackson has been married once before, but thats beside the point
we should be allowed to marry whatever we want to marry, whether its animal,
vegetable, mineral or Jackson. The money wouldnt be so bad...and youd have a
playground in your own backyard! That would rock asses off...and since Mr. Jackson would
be off sleeping in other beds with children, you wouldnt have to worry about being
repulsed by Snuggle Time With A Jackson...unless it was Janet...but thats beside the
point.

And now you know what Lisa Marie Presley was up against every night.
Honestly, I hope this guy gets hammered if found guilty. I think we all do. Then, I
hope hes put in prison for a maximum amount of time. If hes found guilty, I
wonder if there will be race riots in the streets of LA? People are already starting to
talk about how "racism" is the reason hes been charged. Then again, these
people have the mentality of
SizzlinAznSweety.
T2, in his own gracious way, even took the liberty of making a marriage certificate
that is non-thing specific...so we can marry who or whatever we want.

Fill in the above blanks with whatever you want. Tree, fish, curtain, Ani
Difranco, Robert Smith from The Cure...they'll all be married soon enough.
Bottom line: WHY WHY WHY are we letting government tell us what we want or don't want?
37 states have established definitions of marriage between a man and a woman. Now, we have
four judges from Massachusetts telling their citizens, "we'll do what we want, and if
you don't like it, TOUGH SHIT." This is wrong.
They basically asked themselves, "Who are we to judge," and avoided the
blatantly obvious their collevtive job.
We'll see what happens, I guess.

Once again, this
has been an article of extreme satire. I personally do not care what you do or how you
feel. If you're pissed about this or think it's nonsensical, IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO MAKE
SENSE. Satire proves a point, which is basically what I've taken way too much of my time
today doing. Word to your moms...I'll marry her too. |
