Perrys new ad goes viral,sparks parodies

In the ad,Perry suggests President Barack Obama is waging a war on religion after signing legislation allowing gays to serve in the military.

Perry,dressed in a brown barn jacket,says,Theres something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids cant celebrate Christmas or pray in schools. In fact,Obama has had nothing to do with banning school prayer,the Supreme Court ruled in 1962 that prayer in public school was a violation of freedom of religion. Perrys suggestion that gays serving in the military represent an assault on religious faith has drawn scorn from gay rights activists,many of whom are expressing themselves in video. First,theres the jacket. Many videos have noted that its the same type worn by actor Heath Ledger in the 2005 movie Brokeback Mountain. One video shows a brown-jacketed rabbi,Jason Miller. Im not ashamed to admit Im a Jew, Miller says. Theres something wrong in our country when gays can serve openly in the military but still cant marry in most US states. Some videos include a message from Jesus. Im ashamed to admit that you are a Christian, a cartoon Jesus tells Perry.
