Alicia Silverstone, Lance Bass Star In "Gathering Gay Storm" Video For Funny Or Die

The "gathering storm" ad made by the National Organization for Marriage, which preaches against same-sex unions, has spawned many parodies in its short life. As Stephen Colbert said before introducing his version of it, "It is like watching the 700 Club and the Weather Channel at the same time."

Our own Lizz Winstead offered her version that shows the ridiculous leaps the ad makes in conflating the restriction of personal rights with granting marriage rights to homosexuals.

Now Funny or Die is getting in on the fun with a star-studded version that boasts Alicia Silverstone, Lance Bass, George Takei, and Sarah Chalke. The ad offers an answer to the gay marriage issue: a giant gay-repellent umbrella that will shield god-fearing Americans from the storm.

People, if you haven't seen the Colbert version, search it out it is hilarious and really destroys the twisted "logic" of the original .

This one is OK, as usual Jane Lynch steals the show (at the end), somehow she is hilarious to me just standing there and steals every scene in everything she is in.

The part where the woman says, "and gays won't stop until our children are gay-married" is hilarious! LOL Good job!

Good, but could have been a whole lot better, no offense...

good try tho. humor and poignancy can overcome a lot.... much more effective than the hatred spilled from the other direction, sent by their "loving god" of course! (if God was as hateful as those who hate people, we'd ALL be f-d up! :)

I thought it was funny, as was Colbert's, but let's be honest - nothing can compare to the hilarity that was the original. The fact that they were being ... uh, well, 'sincere', for lack of a better word, makes it funnier.

[BlackJAC]

Colbert did it better.

[RachelMc]

[Jenny Clagett]

[ashaman]

They should have let George Takei speak more than once.

Force everyone to be on the show "30 Days" during their spend a month pretending to be gay episode.

Hey I'll watch anything with Alicia. She still looks great!

[campfreddy]

"still?"

why? has she had some terrible accident but has healed well? Is she terribly old? Why shouldn't she still look great - did a piano fall on her?

What that about???

[Mannock]

Too hard. Too hammy. But give them credit, they tried. And it is far more entertaining than the original.

[fiberoptimist]

This is poorly written satire. Don't waste your time. It's not even remotely funny.

[Trap805]

George Takei rules the world......What the hell has happened to Alicia Silverstone?

[NoCheapShotsPlease]

Some people will actually believe this is not satire.

[Miss Education]

hilarious.
