"Gay Bomb": Funny, Stupid, Offensive, or All of the Above?

This caught my attention while idly perusing the web today [Via: CathiefromCanada]:

A Berkeley watchdog organization that tracks military spending said it uncovered a strange U.S. military proposal to create a hormone bomb that could purportedly turn enemy soldiers into homosexuals and make them more interested in sex than fighting.

Leaving aside the sheer stupidity of it all for a moment, I wonder who they would trust with this "football"?

  1. This is another one of those things that makes you shake your head, leaves you speechless.

    As far as I know, it wouldn't take a bomb to make soldiers think more about sex than fighting. But let's hope that if any such bomb were to really exist, that more than a few would self-detinate.

    Those peacock images, Kyklops, were a-m-a-z-i-n-g. Wow. Perfect lighting, perfect crops. Wow.

  2. Hi GT, I know what you mean. There are actually so many things that could be said about about such a ridiculous idea that I didn't know where to begin...
    Glad you liked the pics. The trick is to take about a million and hope a couple turn out half-decently. Definitely a selling point for digital cameras!
