2. I am honestly not at all shocked by this.

But seriously, fuck the religious right.

3. The only good thing I've ever seen or heard about Oklahoma...

was the musical.

6. And it wasn't even filmed IN Oklahoma.

It was filmed in California and Arizona. Anyone who has ever actually been to Oklahoma and seen the film will find themselves asking "Where the fuck did all those hills and mountains come from?"

Not even the people singing and dancing about Oklahoma wanted to set foot there.

8. Not that great a show. Guy & Dolls or West Side Story are way better.

18. Oklahoma! is drenched in sexual innuendo, rape metaphor, and bestiality references.

After all, the whole plot revolves around who gets to take Laurey to the “box social” — a coded consummation metaphor if ever there was one.

Violence is hardly scarce in Oklahoma! as far as sex goes. In fact, Oklahoma seems to be teeming with an undercurrent of unfulfilled sexual desire and violence waiting to emerge, be it between farmer and cowman or two eligible ladies. Each man seems willing to kill to obtain his love. Curly tries to convince Jud to commit suicide. Jud tries to kill Curly twice (once with a sexual toy). Will tells Ali he would kill him for Annie. Gertie Cummings has fights with both Annie and Laurey (rolling on the ground, of course).

Says Will:

“I’m goin’ t’marry her!”

Ali:

“On purpose?,”

implying the famous Oklahoma shotgun marriage.

Obviously, any moral code isn’t apparent to Ali. He wants to bed Annie in the Claremore Hotel. He also suggests that he, Laurey and Annie engage in a menage a trois by skinny dipping together. He’s been “feeling up” Annie behind the haystack (his confession that results in his shotgun engagement to Annie). At the end, he’s caught in illicit (by Claremore standards) sex and forced by shotgun to marry Gertie Cummings. Finally, he sells garters and bloomers and other forbidden delights like drugs (the Egyptian smelling salts).

In Oklahoma!, women obtain sexual fulfillment when in a semi-drugged state. “Laurey’s Dream” is the most obvious example. Ado Annie, too, seems ever-comatose and virtually unresponsive, doggedly singing her number “I Cain’t Say".

Let's not forget the end of the dream sequence with Jud lying on top of Laurey, having raped her while she was drugged...

I attended Harding University during the 80's when I was still embroiled within the Abrahamic Blood Cults.
I was astonished as I watched the live onstage performance, remembering the times as a child our parents reverentially watched it with us on our color TV. Wholly disgusted, I and my fiancé, now my honey of 40 plus years stood up and walked out.

Oklahoma - Same as it ever was.

May reason rule.

4. 16% of the votes? I'm guessing small rural counties are reporting early.

This vote kinda crosses Party ID.

[RandySF]

5. 28% now and the gap is widening.

[OAITW r.2.0]

9. wow,,,,that surprises me,

But maybe the pro-pot peeps couldn't bother to vote.

[Mariana]

16. More likely, there just aren't that many pro-pot peeps in Oklahoma.

[Aristus]

7. Seriously?

So alcohol is going to continue to be the only way to forget that one lives in f*****g Oklahoma?

10. As If I Needed Another Reason Not To Visit That Shithole State

It's why they call it a Flyover State. I know they hate that term, but it's a fact.

[walkingman]

11. I simply cannot understand this? Just weird.

[Behind the Aegis]

12. Off season vote.

All we get during votes like this are the hardcore bigoted, a-feared population.

[Sky Jewels]

13. Pathetic.

Any liberals who live in that state, you are brave souls.

14. Reefer Madness lives....

15. Many Outdoor growers from the golden triangle in CA have moved to OK
