I said this before -- I pray that these are not actors who don't believe this crap doing this for experience and a buck. I know it's a tough road, but this will come back and bite you in the ass.

The funny flip-side of all this is that the pro-gay-marriage side has a WEALTH of talent for this sort of thing.

The appropriate response video would likely be heavily choreographed, with full musical numbers, and amazing special effects.

Needs more... intensity! More intensity!

Also, an impersonation of Roger Moore!

The first thing I thought on watching the original ad was "I wonder how these actors can sleep at night?"

@8: Excuse me, not amazing special effects. FABULOUS special effects.

These are not actors, I see in this ad every day people from ethnicity, young and old and yes while they may be reciting some sentences, the concerns and truth expressed by them are real. These are people who are concerned about their families and have decided to become the public faces of the movement. Your side does the same but with real actors. I applaud them and express my wish to join them. We will not be intimidated and push aside by the tactics of activist groups anymore. Laugh all you want but we are on taking this fight fully.

I'm all for Gay Marriage, but have you guys looked at the percentage of children being born out of wedlock?

I would think that florists and bakers would be the biggest supporters of GM because straight people are (wisely) no longer submitting to the one legal contract that embodies slavery.

@18: Actually the are "actors" in the sense that the supposed issues that they present did not happen to them. They are portraying people that had the supposed issue. Hence the admission on the video from 0:18 - 0:24 that they are actors. Again, the reading thing will keep you out of SO much trouble.

Garr, for want of an edit button... THEY are "actors"...

@ 1, i said this on another thread, but it bears repeating in light of what sounds like a call to blacklist these actors.

Blacklisting someone for his or her political actions is ALWAYS wrong. If we hold our freedom dear, then we fight for the rights of the Loveschilds of the world to say what they want to, and for the anti-marriage rights groups to promote their stupid message too. We won't win by becoming oppressive ourselves.

Wow. That was painful to watch.

LOL -- I just watched part 2. They look like hostage videos! Oh, and Loveschild, you're in luck. Being able to read does not seem to be a requirement!

21 They're not actors in the same way as those who do ads for your side(That's to say for money), these are people who genuinely are concerned for the future of our society, their families and in that sense they are not acting but merely voicing the same concerns as those who share their same views.

@26: That's right, because no one on our side cares about the cause. You've discovered the truth.

Honestly, your credulity is equaled only by your myopia

@13 -- It turns out that nomblog.com has moderated comments. I don't suspect my comment (below) to make the cut:

---

I have been hoping that an organization like this would surface one of these days!

I know you’ll be focused on the issues that will keep marriage strong, namely:

1. preventing cheating
2. discouraging divorce
3. access to health care and child care for working families
4. discouraging gay people from thinking they should be marrying straight people

If we stay focused on these issues, we’ll be doing a great job in protecting marriage.

Congratulations on your work promoting marriage — it’s so successful of an institution that even gay people want to join!

They moderate their comments. Notice they have 0.

@28 and 29, there's one comment now (in the Emergency Iowa Action Alert thread) and it's a good one!

If they were paid to do the spots, they're actors.

@30 Okay, this almost makes me think that the NOM is a parody -- of the three comments posted on the blog so far, two are pro-gay.

And it's a moderated comments section! Hmm. Maybe these boobs aren't even literate enough to know which side a comment favors.

Loveschild, you know who's destroying people's families? People like you.

Even if these people are actors, what they are saying is accurate.

Homosexuality and Marxism go hand in hand.

It looks like they sourced all their people from some ex-gay group. Is it me, or do they all look like fags and dykes?

Loveschild, I want to breed you all night long. Make you my ever-lovin' bitch. I know chicks like you, and chicks like you is hot. Have my babies, baby. Or just flush 'em. I don't give a fuck.

I just saw something about Pesach, and wanted to mention that after four glasses of wine, I'm trashed. Man, my tolerance has gone to shit.

I'm still waiting for an explanation from Loveschild as to how gay marriage will suddenly and violently cause all heterosexuals to stop procreating, which will lead to the total extinction of the human race. That's basically what she's saying, isn't it?

@41: I think she believes that gay marriage joins gays together like Voltron and if they keep marrying they will form a giant Super Gay that will stomp on the straights. Super Gay might even challenge Sky God to a battle!
