The Gay Bomb....

[Mumbles]

Leave it to the USAF to come up with this hum dinger of a weapon. When I first heard this, I thought it was refering to the reviews of the movie version of "Rent".


“The Pentagon has admitted they once tried to develop a gay bomb, a bomb that would turn enemy soldiers gay. This is true. They said their goal was to turn the Iraq war into a musical. I believe the main ingredient in the gay bomb was Agent Orange with a chartreuse accent. In fact, when asked what impact this gay bomb would have, the head of the Joint Chiefs said, ‘Fabulous!’” --Jay Leno

"CBS News reports that the Pentagon once considered building a bomb filled with hormones that would turn enemy soldiers gay. ... Experts say the gay bomb would have meant battlefield victories for the U.S. and higher ratings for the Tony Awards" --Conan O'Brien

HAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Can you imagine flying over that target for a BDA and seeing a full blown Taliban orgy (pun intended). I dont think I would have any trouble painting the windscreen with puke all the while having it come out my nose because I would be laughing so hard

Reminds me of the South Park episode where the aliens show up from the future looking for cheap jobs . . .

"Back in the pile!"

Well, of course it would be the Air Force. If the delay on the bomb is too short the crew in the delivery aircraft won't be affected at all.

Speaking of delay.... this news story is like 6 months+ old.

There was actually a thread on this topic. I tried to put the term "gay bomb" into the search feature, but unfortunately the term "gay" returns about a thousand hits. Perhaps the gay bomb has already struck AW?

It would explain those advertisements I keep seeing for "Rosie Live" on NBC, anyway.

I'd rather stab my eyeballs repeatedly with a shrimp fork than watch that, BTW.

Ugh watch out you're going to get that guy from the "Dos Gringos" thread all fired up and rambling on about regs...

That is just crazy, we already have a weapon that causes homosexual behavior. It's called a submarine.

That or we could blast 'em with showtunes until they put down their guns and started tap dancing...

My favorite part was the asian in the interview... "We find the idea of such a bomb offensive". Well no SH*T! I think most bombs are offensive to those they get dropped on. Hell, war itself is offensive in nature.... Leave it to the treehuggers.

 

[eddie]

The people who are offended about it are being retarded: the proposed mechanisms were more about creating ridiculous sexual drive chemical more than changing your genes or fundamental sexual wiring.

I mean, to be completely honest, I don't think you would even need to make the guys gay, just super super horny so it turns into prison with no guards.

This reminded me of the Arrested Development episode where Tobias thinks he's turned a street gang into a dancing group.

BTW....watching Brit Hume and Mort Kondracke crack up at the mention of the gay bomb is almost as funny as Tom Brokaw saying "Bukkake" a few years ago....(I'm frantically searching for the clip!)
