Gays Are Like Smoking-Just Say No?

@Revtim

On ‘The Daily Show’ they do a bit where they have kids re-enact “Great Moments In Punditry” or something like that, and they did a short bit of Jerry Falwell basically being asked the same thing. If I heard right, and the Daily Show wasn’t making shit up, Falwell said he was attracted to men. So, he would have avoided that trap.

Whether he said it in order to avoid the trap, or he actually was attracted to men, is of course pure speculation.

(Confirmation or correction about what I thought I heard is most welcome)

Sadly, being a country hick and all, I’ve never actually seen the Daily Show.
Too busy to watch much TV and too cheap to spring for cable.
However, I have friends moving within 10 miles who adore the show and I plan on sneaking over and watching it with them on occasion.

Hmmmm…well maybe that’s why they call cigarettes “fags” in Britain.

You’re a cigerette!

Sorry, I’ve been dying to use that since last week.

How do we know being gay isn’t catching? I have an uncle who caught Teh Negro from a drinking fountain during desegregation! True story.

So are blow jobs and only one of them are carcinogenic.

@The Hook

Only one type of blowjob? What is this fatal blowjob you speak of?

Why, a blowjob in which the giver is chewing tobacco while giving it, of course.

Penis cancer from secondhand dip is rare, but if you observe the warning signs, it is enitrely preventable.

If the person giving you a blowjob spits six or seven times before you’re finished - WARNING!

If you feel an Altoids tingle, but all you see is a can of mint-flavored Skoal - PULL OUT!

If you find some smegma on your penis that just won’t come off - SEE A DOCTOR! IT COULD BE LEUKOPLAKIA!

danceswithcats, I wrote a response letter to the Record through the site. Since I’m a semi-local, they may actually print it.

But damn if I didn’t forget to copy so I could paste it in here… :smack:

Well, they finally have it in. Don’t know if it’s in the print version as well, since I don’t get the Wreck-ord. Anyone over there want to check for me?

Very well written and concise.

[Diogenes_the_Cynic]

Nice letter, jayjay. Forceful, informative and pointed, but also cool and civil. Well done.

[Revtim]

I agree, very well put.

He was probably trying to keep teh gay from escaping. It could be transmitted through the air, you know.

[jayjay]

Thanks! It kind of started out looking like a Pit rant, then I realized that it was going to a newspaper with the hopes of it being published and dialed it back a bit.
