New star-studded Web video protests Proposition 8



http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081204/ap_en_ce/prop8_musical_video

NEW YORK – Since Proposition 8 passed in California, much of Hollywood has been up in arms. Now, they are singing and dancing, too, in a new Web video called "Prop 8: The Musical."

The video was posted Wednesday on FunnyOrDie.com, the video site co-founded by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay. The site has found a niche in getting professional talent to quickly create topical comedy videos.

"Prop 8: The Musical" may be a 3-minute Internet video, but it has a blockbuster cast — including Jack Black (who plays Jesus), Neil Patrick Harris, John C. Reilly, Andy Richter, Maya Rudolph, Margaret Cho, Rashida Jones and others.

Though Jesus doesn't bring the two sides together, Harris has better luck. He argues gay marriage could save the economy: "Every time a gay or lesbian finds love at the parade, there's money to be made."

The video was conceived and written by Marc Shaiman, the Tony Award-winning composer of "Hairspray" and "South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut." McKay, who had previously collaborated with Shaiman on the song-and-dance routine Ferrell, Black and Reilly did at the Oscars earlier this year, sent him an e-mail floating the idea of a video.

Shaiman had been involved in a more serious debate over Proposition 8.

After voters approved Proposition 8, which changed the state's constitution to ban same-sex marriage, it was revealed that Scott Eckern, the artistic director of the California Musical Theater in Sacramento (the state's largest nonprofit musical theater company) had donated $1,000 to the "Yes on 8" campaign.

Shaiman's "Hairspray" had played at the theater and he said he would never allow anything he wrote to play there because of Eckern's donation. Others protested and Eckern resigned in November.

In an interview Wednesday, Shaiman regretted that it came to Eckern losing his job and said: "It's a tragedy for everyone involved. You'll certainly see that no one called for him to resign."

The video for Funny or Die was a lighter-hearted protest.

Shaiman wrote the piece in a day, recorded it the next and shot it in a single day last week.

"It was like, `Eureka! That's right, that's what I do!" said Shaiman of the mini-musical. "If I'm going to stand on the soap box, at least let me sing and dance."

It was no worry WAS only trying to help you

The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals. It's just that they need more supervision. ~Lynn Lavner

A Dedication



Create New Worlds



This is the time to come within and find yourself, in quiet moments alone, in the peace of beingness. Find your light and then shine out, shine out to show the way.

Do not look for others to show the way, nor for your society's old ways of being and acting to guide you. Allow yourself to be led by your true self inside, by the light that shines, so that you may know the truth, that the world does not consist of your worries, fears and doubts, but rather that it is created anew each moment by your light, your truth, your soul.

Come into this space, the space of this moment. Let it lead you down into yourself, to the light that shines within, the light that is you. Now feed that flame, let it burn more brightly. Let the light that is love, that is you, that is peace and joy, shine brightly within you. Let it expand and expand. Let it be you, completely.

And let that light drive away the phantoms of fear and doubt, so that you might see more clearly what is true.

And now, without their confusing presence, what do you see? What windows are opening, what doors are swinging wide? What newness is beginning to flow toward you, newness that you might breathe in to make you strong? What new idea might you embrace, what new vision might you follow? What new connections are opening, when fear and doubt are gone?

Clear them away. They do not serve. They weaken, and you need to be strong, strong and courageous, to step out onto the path lit by your inner light and create new worlds from pure being.
~Carrie Hart
