Very funny until the last line. What a bummer of an ending.

You could see the last line coming a mile away.
Still funny.

Maybe I've been reading too much Game of Thrones, but that doesn't shock me.

What's the problem with the ending? The video seems to be pointing out people's hypocrisy/judgement on consensual matters of sex. The ending points out that even most people who support same sex couples think incest is wrong or disgusting, even when no kids can result.

Yeah, I thought that ending was funny and completely consistent with the rest of the clever and surprisingly insightful take on sexual identity. The subversive way it shows that even us gays can have blind spots when it comes to acceptance reminds me of that song from "Avenue Q," "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist."

So anything short of "anything goes" is a blind spot?

Gotcha.

@10: Exactly.

@11: Consent.

I just have one question, though: why the marriage in the first place?
