Unlike OJ, she didn't kill the victim. Unlike OJ, Matthew Shepards'
killers have been caught.
But unlike Livid, you don't have a clue, do you?
Gee, Davey, tell me: how do you feel about gays and lesbians? Do you
think they should be allowed to marry? Do you think they are sinners

Do you think making a joke about a murder committed by folks using
your religions' morals as justification is funny?
