Gay Couples and Jedi Knights (Humour Alert)

The last Australian Census (2011) has some interesting statistics. Note the following (HT: Australia Incognita)

• Same sex couples: 33, 714 (so 67, 428 people);
• Jedi Knights, 65,000.

So there are roughly the same number of gay and lesbians as there are jedi knights in Australia. Two implications:

(1) Perhaps we should provide state sponsored ceremonies to affirm and validate the jedi order and to give them the same rights and privileges as non-Jedi people – it’s time for justice for jedis.

(2) What if the two groups, of roughly the same number, actually refer to the same people. What if they are co-terminus? Yes, what if Australia is inhabited by  around 65, 000 gay and lesbian jedi knights? Think about it, it does make sense. Two male and supposedly “celibate” jedi knights cruising around lonely parts of the universe together. Best friend is a gold effeminate robot prone to panic attacks. Seem to have an unusual interest in long sword shaped neon lights. Known to be involved in using “probes.” Dress like hermit hipsters. Have a recurrent interest in recruiting young boys to join their club. It all makes sense now. The jedi order is more gay than Oxford Street in February. But let’s think this through. What if these gay jedi start using their jedi powers to force us to recognize their religion and to give them jedi marriage licenses. This could be bad.

So I say we turn to the one group who can save us from the Gay Jedi, who is that you ask, Catholic Sith Lords.

We need more than Defence of Marriage Act, we need a Death Star to guard us from these gay Jedi.

(Disclaimer: I actually like Benedict XVI, I’ve enjoyed his “back to the basics” approach, but please, my Catholic friends, next time you chose a Pope, try not to get one who looks like a super villain from a big movie franchise).
