'Don't Be a Faggot - Don't Smoke'

Satire alert!! I'm pretty sure heads will explode with this masterpiece from the Onion, "New Anti-Smoking Ads Warn Teens 'It's Gay To Smoke'."


And for more good stuff, check out Larry Johnson's post on Obama's bitchslap to the LGBT community last weekend, "Obama Giving Gays an Unwelcome Blow Job." More on that from Cynthia Yockey.

In other news, the reviled neocon warmonger
Joseph Lieberman is leading the fight for repeal of military's "Don't Ask Don't Tell policy. I mean, this is better than comedy: The nihilist blog-demons are up in arms that the Connecticut Senator might actually be a liberal on social policy.

The Onion is terrific, Donald! When I first started blogging and ran across The Onion I didn't realize they were satire. LOL! How daft is that?

Speaking of daft, go back and read my revised post on the H1N1 Virus. I made a mistake and as you thanked me for the info I would feel remiss if I didn't tell you. I still wouldn't take it as the video is valid and I don't trust the vaccine and believe the government is exaggerating the threat, but that's just me. People will have to make up their own minds but I don't want to post false information either, so I revised the post.

That is one of the funniest "ads" I have ever seen. I guess that makes me homophobic, or something. Thanks for sharing!

The reason this is so funny is because it's making fun of homophobes like yourself, Don. People who think that calling someone gay is actually some kind of insult. Just one more instance of Republican humor fail.

Your title lights up the topic.
A fag is British English for a cigarette, no?
The Onion clip went past my "little dab'll do ya" limit, so I never really figured out if that was where they went with the jape.

So sanctimonious, JBW. I'm sure you've never laughed at a joke that pokes fun at someone or some group, because if you did, you are obviously a hateful bigot.

How can somebody be homophobic simply because they find a joke to be funny? Don't you have to actually dislike gays, or hate gays, or be "scared" or "uncomfortable" around gays to be homophobic? I mean, I can laugh at a "white" joke, but that certainly doesn't make me a racist, right?

Great logic, JBW.

I laugh at jokes about everything and everybody, PP. Anyone who reads my site will tell you that I haven't a PC bone in my body. In fact, I said that this video was funny, and it's funny because it's making fun of people who consider calling someone else gay or actually being gay to be some kind of insult, like our boy Don here.

I'm not saying that Don's a homophobe because he finds this funny. His past words on this site are my reason for saying that. I'm just saying that he seems to have failed to grasp the real crux of the joke by being less than self-aware.

Glad you approve of my logic.
