Promotion, in the last sequence he claimed to have made the "right decision" while sitting in church.

Some of those segments were so blatant and brilliant in poking fun at the Utah culture.

Yeah, well now you have me confused, it looks like a promo, I mean they have clips of Steve Young teaching about the 25 year olds being menaces to society.

Some of the other's that really killed me:
"but tonight's ward temple night" as he's holding a six pack and she's smoking.

Or the obviously lame activity where they get excited to watch God's Army because Saturday's Warrior isn't available.

"our ancestors had 4 or 5 wives, you can't keep just one?"

The church is doing everything it can to forget about it's past and that line not only brings it up but seems to glorify and even reverence polygamy.

Perhaps the biggest slam is the announcement that a couple is engaged after meeting the week before at the hay ride. That's pretty sharp satire if you ask me.

I just had to look up Saturday's Warrior to see what the fuss is all about. Oh, lord, why did I do that?

Hahaha, I love it, such a creepy ass movie, thanks for the link!

So, what's your tribe?

Ephraim, of course, ... I was preordained to rule the gdamn world.

Well, and you always divorce the spouse that leaves the church! I think it twas just an attempt at satire

Was that Will Swenson as the main character?

Yes, it is. Will has since turned in his Mormon card for a dress, high heels, and a starring role on Broadway (Pricilla Queen of the Desert).

These are scenes from The Singles Ward.

Ahh hell, damnit, okay, thanks for the heads up, I've been fooled!!

Fooled or not, I got a big kick out of it.

Thanks for putting it up.

Maybe I need to go out on a limb and actually watch that one. Are there voice overs in the Youtube vid to make it seem so anti or was the movie really that edgy? I just can't imagine TBMs being comfortable watching that.

Maybe it's just some brilliant editing and the actual movie is as bland as the old Johnny Lingo filmstrip we watched in seminary.

"The Singles Ward" (from whence these clips are taken) has some brilliantly funny moments where it pokes fun at Utah Mormon culture, particularly the dating meat market that is BYU and its environs.

Unfortunately, the movie veers off into saccharine Mo-land during the last 20 minutes or so, with a teary, white-haloed re-conversion experience and a couple of missions thrown in.

The other big turn-off is that, just as in real Mo-life, the two main love interests are skinny hotties with Osmond-like grins. Cammie, the emaciated female lead, only drinks water (and nabs the hot guy), but her fat roommate who eats Oreos off a parked car ends up with a correspondingly fugly dude with a blue-collar job and a beard that probably harbors enough bugs to gorge the seagulls for years.

(*SPOILER*) As a suitable ending, we learn that the couple moves to California, where Jonathan became a writer...and Cammie became a...(wait for it!) MOTHER!

Awwww...isn't that speshul?
