Last night at the Oscars, Kristen Stewart and Daniel
Radcliffe joined together to present one of the awards, leading Seth MacFarlane
to joke that together they represented everything the religious right thinks is
wrong with Hollywood. I like that joke (I believe the two of them were specifically paired together just for that one joke.), but it’s not really true. Yes, the
religious right complained about vampires and wizards being evil things which
promote Satanism or something, but it’s hardly their biggest complaint (not
that I’m an expert, however…). No, for them to truly represent everything the
religious right thinks is wrong about Hollywood movies, they should have come
out, said: “Hail Satan!”, used drugs, ripped their clothes off, had sex in a
non-missionary position while making a profanity-laced anti-gun speech, and
then revealed that they are both gay married to other people. I think that
might have just about covered it. (Right? Let’s see, there’s evil,
anti-Christian religiosity, nudity, drug use, “naughty” sex, “adult” language,
gun control, homosexuality, gay marriage, and last but not least, infidelity,
and the glamorization of all of the above. I’m not expert on conservative pet
peeves about Hollywood, but I’d think that’s probably most of them right
there.)
Maybe they did that in the Internet-only extra footage for
the Oscars? No? How about maybe for next year?
