News Busters, by Alex Christy: On Monday, The Daily Show proclaimed that Christmas was the “queerest holiday of all,” on Tuesday it was ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel’s turn as he “interviewed” Sean Hayes, who was playing the role of a gay nutcracker. Hayes claimed that “pretty much every Christmas character is gay” and like The Daily Show, he including Joseph from the Nativity.
After playing a montage of conservative media personalities denouncing the wokification of Christmas, including the gay nutcrackers, Kimmel introduced Hayes’s character, “Okay, fingers on the pulse, you know. Obviously they’re making a big deal out of nothing. But I wanted to go to the source to find out how they see this. So joining us now live from the holiday aisle at Kohl’s is a gay nutcracker. Hello, Mr. Nutcracker.”
Kimmel wondered, “I guess my first question is, are gay nutcrackers, like yourself, bothered by what Fox News and this right-wing outrage media have been saying?”
Hayes responded, “I mean, not really. I’d say we’re more confused than anything. I mean, first off, “gay nutcracker” is redundant. All nutcrackers are gay… We’re a bunch of fit older men with perfect posture wearing bedazzled uniforms and knee-high boots.”
Of course, nutcrackers are designed to look like 18th century soldiers, but Kimmel continued with the skit, “It does seem silly that they’re getting so worked up about things like gender-neutral potato heads and inclusive Christmas decorations.”
Moving on from nutcrackers, Hayes agreed, “I know, right? And just wait until they find out about Elf on the Shelf!… He’s bi.”
After Kimmel asked how he knows that, Hayes continued, “How do I know? How do you not know? I mean, get a load of that face. He looks like he’s keeping a secret he can’t wait to tell you. Hey, Fox News alert, pretty much every Christmas character is gay.”
Kimmel pretended that was a bridge too far, but Hayes then ran down a list of classic Christmas characters, “The Grinch: decides to steal Christmas, the first thing he does is sew him and his dog flirty little outfits. Frosty: completely obsessed with his birthday and totally comes alive thanks to a fashion accessory. The Heat Miser: obvi. Hermey the Elf: clean-cut twink with perfect teeth. Linus: sorry, Sally, not interested. Rudolph: won’t you lead my sleigh? Honey, this queen’s been slaying since day one.”
Finally, Hayes got to the Nativity, “And then there’s Joseph…Why do you think they needed an immaculate conception? Joseph was the only guy in Bethlehem with two beards. The one on his face, and Mary.”
It is one thing to fail at troll humor because you project 2023 trends onto classic stories, but the inclusion of Joseph is not only disrespectful, it is not even original disrespect.
Prophetic Link:
“In mercy to the world, God blotted out its wicked inhabitants in Noah’s time. In mercy he destroyed the corrupt dwellers in Sodom. Through the deceptive power of Satan, the workers of iniquity obtain sympathy and admiration, and are thus constantly leading others to rebellion. It was so in Noah’s day, and in the time of Abraham and Lot; it is so in our time. It is in mercy to the universe that God will finally destroy the rejecters of his grace.” The Spirit of Prophecy, vol. 4, page 363.3.

Saturday December 23rd, 2023 at 01:12 AM“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” Galatians 6:7 Mr. Kimmel and his associates will find that out when it’s too late, unless they repent.
