Oh, GOODY! Carrie Prejean To Star In New NOM Ad

[furrbear]

You just knew this was coming, right? Via Ben Smith at Politico:

Miss California, Carrie Prejean, who offered memorable opposition to same-sex marriage and a young, attractive new face for the movement against it, will appear tomorrow at a press conference hosted by the National Organization for Marriage at the National Press Club, according to a press release from the group. She'll be launching a new ad, the second in what the group says is a $1.5 million campaign. The ad, the release says, will address:

"What happens when a young California beauty pageant contestant is asked, "Do you support same-sex marriage?" She is attacked viciously for having the courage to speak up for her truth and her values. But Carrie's courage inspired a whole nation and a whole generation of young people because she chose to risk the Miss USA crown rather than be silent about her deepest moral values. "No Offense" calls gay marriage advocates to account for their unwillingness to debate the real issue: Gay marriage has consequences."

And all the intarwebs rubbed their hands in glee over the coming parody opportunities.

Good frakking gawd.

Well, we know from The Colbert Report study that they Just Do Not Get satire and snark.

Thank goodness everyone else does!

> "She is attacked viciously ..."

My dachshund, Peanut, is more vicious.

Hey! Wait a minute! What about the judges who had "the courage to speak up for THEIR truth and THEIR values"?

Why does fairness have to be up for debate?

It still disturbs me that no one can articulate these so-called "consequences"... it's like they expect marriage certificates around the world to burst into flame.

I have this suspicion the Miss California USA offices will be soon stripping Carrie Prejean of the title. Why? Because they've made it clear they want her back in California to assume the duties of Miss California.

From Keith Lewis, producer of Miss California USA.
"Given the fact that Carrie Prejean's first act upon returning to California was to headline five services at a church that promotes homosexuality as both unnatural and abnormal, we stand by our concern for her individual image and look forward to a time in the near future when she can put down her personal agenda and assume the responsibilities associated with being Miss California USA including promoting our official platform "The Beauty of California" which sole purpose is to embrace diversity."

"...sole purpose is to embrace diversity."

Exactly what I've been thinking.

Thank you for this backstory.

Agreed. She's not long for this title.

Which will increase her martyr-dom, but for a smaller-and-smaller-and-crazier-and-crazier circle.

And so it goes.

No one can articulate that which does not exist.

"I was a shallow anorexic narcissistic know nothing, who was catapulted to notoriety because the gay community is represented by an idiot named Perez Hilton"

She's a vapid bimbo. Her 15 minutes should be up any minute.

I think you just summed it all up.

I personally believe that, U.S. Americans are unable to do so, because some... people out there in our nation that don't have marriages, and I believe that our education, like such as in Vermont and the Iowa, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should... our education over here in the U.S., should help the U.S., er, should help Vermont and should help the Iowa and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future.., for our children...

OMG LULZ I think this should be elevated to the front
