By the way, I thought it was so nice of Stephen to give a shout-out to one of his old friends at the end of the show and promote his one-man show.

Yeah, I was laughing until they showed the missionaries making out. Just seemed a bit too mean-spirited, though what the Mormons did to these guys was definitely mean-spirited as well.

I realize that comedy rarely sees boundaries, but I’m just agreeing with you.

P.S. I’m not Mormon, but I’m Catholic!

Actually, I don’t like extreme public displays of affection, i.e. making out, but these guys obviously weren’t doing that so it’s sad that they were reprimanded and on top of that handcuffed!

Oh don’t worry – you’re not ranting too much; I completely agree with you :) That’s why I absolutely loved that segment last night. I was laughing and cheering throughout the whole thing, especially when they showed the two Mormons macking out on the couch. It was a thing of beauty :D

The Word was absolutely fantastic! I completely agree with the point he was making about privatization – speaking as a criminal justice major, the thought of judges sending people to prison just so they can cut a check with an insurance company is beyond ridiculous to me. And how AWESOME was Nailed ‘Em?! I laughed so hard I nearly cried. :)
Loved the interview last night as well – Andrew Sullivan was really great.

This was a very fun and hilarious interview with Andrew Sullivan. The Mormon segment really just had me LOL-ing so much, I had tears in my eyes!!! Once again, another awesome Word segment. (^_^)V

Thanks for the review!!!

I loved the contrasting image of the straight couple groping without anyone reacting. Being affectionate in public is a straight privilege that even the most gay-friendly heterosexuals rarely reflect upon. So I was really grateful to the Report for showing that it has nothing to do with “decency”, which is what they always claim, and all about homophobia and heterosexism. (hope i’m not ranting too much?)

Loved the Word too.

I’ve been reading Sullivan’s blog regularly, so it was nice seeing him on the Report again. :) And I learned about reconciliation! The more you know.

As for the trespassing Mormon missionaries…. tee hee. I died laughing at “you were on their private property and you made it hard when they tried to get you off.”

I actually love how bewildered Stephen looked when he said “Really!?” during the interview with Sullivan. So cute!

My best friends family is mormon, so i sent her the link so she can watch the clip from last night. I can’t wait for her reaction.
