No on Prop. 8 PSAs spoof Mac vs. PC commercials

zomg the 3rd one was hilarious.

"i'm totally going to amend her." roflrofl

"she'd be even better with a little discrimination in her, ya know what i mean?"

ahhhhhahahahahahaha

golden. whoever wrote that needs a medal.

For all who might be interested, here's a complete list of who's who in--and behind-- these very clever PSAs. There's also lots more info on the sponsoring site, HomoTracker.

Definitely strong evidence that intelligent humor *and* good information together make the best weapons. 

If your in Florida Vote no on Proposition 2.

  It is better to be hated for who you are than loved for what your not.

We're kinda expensive though ... but we last for ages! Unlike those other brands, who can be over and done with in a ... well, you know, really short time, leaving you all dissatisfied and unfulfilled ...

Yes, I'm a mac-head, why do you ask? ;)

But, in all seriousness, these adverts are wonderful ... CA is the battle-ground for this civil rights issue, and there is no other option than winning.

These are cute and I hope they make an impression on younger people who see them in various places on the Internet.

What I'm concerned about is their parents, who only see the lying Yes on 8 ads on televsion.  Those ads falsely state that if same-sex marriage is allowed, churches will lose their tax-exempt status, and schools will be forced to teach elementary school children about same sex marriage.  There are three No on 8 ads, two which have been running for a longer time which just say "be fair," don't take away our rights and a newer one that mentions that the Yes people are lying. 

If undecided people have to judge between their church losing its tax-exempt status, their minister being forced to marry gay couples, their children being forced to learn in school that boys can marry boys versus this abstract concept of "equality," I think it is likely that most people will vote for their church and their children.  How are people going to know who's telling the truth?  They're only hearing the lies from the Yes people (over 50% of their funding is from the Mormom church and the Roman Catholic church).  We aren't telling our side of the story, just begging to be treated equally, hoping people will choose the constitution over their church.

I wish the No on 8 campaign was answering the lies more directly.  Why not have Governor Schwarzenneger or Senator Feinstein or the president of the State Bar Association or the Episcopal Bishop or a famous actor - Harrison Ford, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tina Fey - or all of them condemn the lies in the Yes campaign.  (I liked Ellen's ad.)  I'm no fan of Ronald Reagan, but when he came out in 1978 against Prop 6, the Briggs Initiative, (that would have fired gay school teachers), that was a big help in its defeat, especially with Republican voters.

The third one is the funniest! OMG but where are these on TV? I haven't seen any of them? :(

These are amazing.

Florida is a conservative state.  Please vote no on 2. State law dictates that I, as a state employee, cannot leave my retirement benefits to anyone other than a spouse or a child under age twenty five. The state gets to keep the money I paid into my retirement account should I die. Just one of the things the right to marry would fix.

"I'm tryna see what that be like? "

I am voting yes on Prop 8 simply because I fervently believe that no union between two members of the same sex constitutes marriage. I believe homosexual couples should have the same rights as married couples, but to define gay unions as marriages is to defile a divine and sacred institution that has, since its existence, involved husband and wife.

PSA 3 was too hilarious hahaha. PSA 4 was also great. I just don't get why banning gay marriages is such a big deal to the US government.
