The Walk Across America for Mother Earth
Lina ZeldovichJanuary 20, 2011: If Priscilla Queen of the Desert (in which a gay trio embarks on a journey across Australia in a ramshackled bus) married South Park (an American sitcom featuring four crazy kids who end up in beyond bizarre adventures), they would give birth to The Walk Across America for Mother Earth by Taylor Mac.
