PAT ROBERTSON: GAYS WILL BE EXTINCT BECAUSE THEY CAN’T REPRODUCE

San Francisco, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Televangelist Pat Robertson’s recent comment about gays didn’t sit well with a San Francisco coalition of heterosexual parents.

In his comment on the TV Show, ‘The 700 Club,’ the 84-year-old former Southern Baptist minister said that “homosexuals will die out because they can’t reproduce.”

The Hetero Coalition (THC) issued a statement today saying that Robertson is out of touch with reality, pointing out that “it’s the heterosexuals that are giving birth to gays.”

“Is he saying that we, reproductive heterosexuals, will only produce heterosexual offspring,” a THC spokesperson who has identical twins that are both gay, asked. “And how about heterosexual couples who choose not to have children — will they also become extinct?”

THC asked Robertson to apologize on national TV for making that absurd statement.

Hollywood, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – It is the most talked about cyber attack. Even the President of the United States weighed in on it.

We’re talking of course about the hacking of Sony Pictures. It has now been confirmed that North Korea was responsible for leaking damning documents from the film company’s top executives, apparently in retaliation for the production of the film, ‘The Interview.’

The flick is a comedy about the assassination of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. It was written, directed and produced by Seth Rogen who also is the lead actor, along with James Franco.

Everyone had something to say about the hacking, including movie fans and critics, media pundits, politicians, activists, the cyber community and Hollywood bigwigs like George Clooney.

As a result of this uber controversy, Sony Pictures has just announced that it will unrelease the film on Christmas Day, December 25 from theaters nationwide.

Hollywood, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Following the U.S. Government’s confirmation that North Korea was responsible for the cyber attack on Sony Pictures, Hollywood actor James Franco announced that he was changing his name, effectively immediately.

The attack on Sony, conducted by a group calling itself the Guardians of Peace, exposed a number of embarrassing emails between producers and top executives at the movie studio. The group said it was targeting Sony because of its film “The Interview,” a comedy about a pair of American journalists sent to assassinate North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.

Franco is one of the lead actors in the film. The other is Seth Rogen.

“I am changing my name for personal security reasons but also because I like the sound of “James Flacco,” Franco said. President Barack Obama referred to Franco as Flacco at this morning’s White House press conference during which the president confirmed that the government of Kim Jong Un was responsible for the cyber attack against Sony.
