Jack Black and John C. Reilly went on Keith Olbermann after the viral success of Prop 8: The Musical, along with the producer Mark Shaiman. Jack and John start talking about civil rights and their idea for Gay: The Musical at 2:45:
John C. Reilly’s explanation of the separation of church and state is so childlike and simplistic it should be its own PSA. If anyone’s logic can penetrate even the most willfully ignorant Americans, it’s John.

Geez, could Jack Black be any less enthusiastic? Excuse me whilst I sing-song: Secret homophoooobe!
I doubt he’s a secret homophobe since that doesn’t even begin to make sense. More like not-so-secret that’s how he always sounds.
I’m glad they made this, but, ugh… Couldn’t they have picked someone other than John C. Reily? He sounded so unintelligent.
Sorry, that musical was Crash meets Juno. What they’re saying is what most decent people have been saying for years and homophobes aren’t going to get it now that schlumpy liberal actors are the face of the front now. But what am I complaining about? The more the merrier.
Eww… John C. Riley is married?
Prop 8 the Musical was amusing, but it is really just preaching to the choir. Mocking and demeaning people who disagree with you by setting up straw men to knock down while showing disrespect to major religions is not the most effective way to convince those people of the righteousness of your cause.
Anyway if you want to separate church and state, you should abolish all legal marriage, replace it with civil unions, and leave the sacrament of marriage to churches.
Sure, it was preaching to the choir. That was the point: to reach that part of the choir who wants to know what they can do now to help the anti-8 cause. As evidenced by the “jointheimpact” message at the end of the wee musical.
