Gotta Say, That's Not Really a Stretch

I was originally going to post this thought as a Crackbook status, so this blag post will be short:

Throughout the day, both yesterday night and today, people have been commenting via various forms of media about their surprise that The Book of Mormon musical won a boatload of Tony Awards. I don't find this surprising at all. In fact, I knew that it was going to clean house at the Tonys from the moment that I saw Trey Parker and Matt Stone on Letterman a few months back promoting it. Let's examine the evidence, shall we:
  • The Tony Awards have become what amounts to a homosexual political action committee that uses the medium of musical and dance theater. In other words the Tonys are run by the gay community.
  • The Mormons pushed Proposition 8 during the 2008 political elections. This proposition was widely deemed anti-gay and the homosexual community has been unhappy about it ever since.
  • The Book of Mormon musical makes fun of Mormons using one of the favorite media of the homosexual community, musical theater.
QED - Trey Parker and Matt Stone have to hire a mover to carry all their Tony Awards.

And just as a disclaimer, this post is not anti-gay nor is it anti-Mormon. It merely explains why no one should have been that surprised that the BOM musical pwned at the Tonys.
