A new North Carolina law is drawing a lot of negative attention to the state.
Political leaders and businesses have spoken out against the law. Columnists have pointed out its utter ridiculousness.
Now, Funny or Die is getting into the mix.
The comedic video website shared a video called “North Carolina’s Anti-Gay Tourism Commercial.” It features many of the beautiful places in North Carolina. We see the Biltmore Estate, Table Rock, the Cape Lookout Lighthouse, and the North Carolina Zoo. We see beaches, mountains, the Charlotte sky-line, and more.
If your sound is muted, it’s a beautiful commercial.
But, the Funny or Die voice-over may make you feel differently:
“Ah, North Carolina. Home of beaches, mountains, and an extremely homophobic governor. Now you can experience the beautiful, outdoors, city-scapes, and incredible ignorance by hang-gliding backwards in time, racing to the wrong side of history in a kayak, teaching your children to judge others while frolicking in the waves, and enjoying our waterfalls without fear of gay people falling on you. If you’re grossed out when same-sex people order wedding cakes, or if you are obsessed with who is in what bathroom, or if you think religious liberty laws only apply to your religion, North Carolina’s for you. We’re resisting social progress rather than helping people in need. Because North Carolina stands for ‘nobody cares.'”
Think you can enforce House Bill 2? Take the quiz!
The spoof ends with North Carolina’s ridiculed new tourism logo.
