The Irony of Satire

The National Organization for Marriage, a right-wing Christian fear-based org. in the U.S., recently put out a bizarre issue-ad.

The ad contended that heterosexuals should feel threatened by a coming scourge of gay-wedding tornadoes.

Stephen Colbert subsequently produced a commercial parody depicting the NOM membership as closeted nitwits.

NOM sent Stephen a letter of thanks, apparently for somehow helping their cause. See if it makes sense to you ...
