Wait for it!
Wayne Brady just awarded Fur Plates to a lesbian couple! :smack:
I’m sure the Intertubes will be lighting this up any second.
I’m sure 99.999% of the population doesn’t even know that show is on the air, let alone that such an incident happened.
Let’s hope so. It seemed like the show went out of their was to set these folks up to win that prize.
Pretty egregious.

Since the prizes are determined before the sexual orientation of the winners is, I figure this might get some “lols” in parts of the internet rather than be a controversy.
The odds are better if you switch doors because…
Wait, Fur Plates? WTF?
Umm, what are fur plates, and why would lesbians be egregied by them?
Could have been worse. They could have won a bucket of clams… 
That’s my question, too.
Yeah, I must be getting old. I know the show was still on the air, but don’t get why “fur plate” would set someone off.
A trip to Niagara Falls, I’d understand.
Maybe my Google skills are lacking, but all I come up with when I search for “fur plate” is stuff to do with armor that has fur on it, mostly used in a game called Skyrim. Surely, these ladies won something else?
Yah, I came up pretty dry googling as well, though I did find a short youtube clip from 2013 showcasing plates with fake fur around the edges.
So I’m assuming novelty plates with fur on them and lesbians will be upset because fur plates could be a tacky way of referring to an unshaven vulva? This all feels like a huge stretch.
A spoiler for the uninitiated
I was assume it has to do with lesbians being called carpet munchers. They “eat off fur plates” in the bedroom (wink wink), why not do it in the kitchen too? Giggity!
That part is obvious. But what the hell are fur plates?
It seems unlikely in this day and age that a game show would give away a prize with real fur on it, but I don’t watch them regularly so maybe they still do?
They give gag prizes all the time. So I assume a “fur plate” is tableware luxuriously lined with fur, making them useless. Google is coming up dry because they aren’t a thing, they just made it up for the bit.
It’s some kind of joke prize that is totally useless, like glass slippers.
aka a “zonk.”
And half of those are beaver plates!
Was there no cup and spoon included?
