TV Stop Robosexual Marriage!

Posted by Dan Savage on Fri, Jul 9, 2010 at 9:36 AM

Last night's Futurama was pretty damn timely...

Gotta love the NOM ad parody: "If robosexual marriage becomes legal, imagine the horrible things that will happen to our children. Then imagine we said those things, since we couldn't think of any. As a mother, those things worry me."

Wasn't that an awesome episode? I loved that they had George Takei as moderator of the debate, that was just exquisite.

Futurama is one of the best, hands down.

I enjoyed the hell out of that episode. :)

The best part is, given our track record in this country, that that episode will be just as relevant in 2020 as it is in 2010.

Wake me when you get hard edge.

"Alright, but if anybody asks you're my programmer. I don't want anyone thinking we're robosexuals!" Bender to Fry, pilot.

glad that joke didn't die.

Nothing against Robosexuals, but I AM glad Kiff and Amy got back together.

Also glad Hedonismbot can marry one of his human boy toys if he wants.

"Our love isn't any different from yours - except it's hotter."

Yup.

I Can't see it because I live in canada, and comedy central bars us from ever watching anything funny EVER. Can anyone link me to a youtube video of this or something? Man, stupid comedy central and hulu are ruining the internets.

There's also a fantastic dig on monogamy at the end of this episode. Made me think of Dan!
