Default First Openly Gay Racehore

Heh heh, sorry but I just have to post this video.

http://www.theonion.com/content/vide...y_racehorse_to

Whenever gay athletes come out, the media plays stories just like these. When I see it compared to a horse, it makes me realize how silly it really is to put so much focus on sexuality.

* Edit* And by Racehore I mean Racehorse :P

... Omg, I didn't even realize it said racehore until you said it. That's hilarious. Sounds like some sort of... speedy hooker

Unfortunately, my speaker's don't work You're right though, placing so much emphasis on sexuality is ridiculous.

^ Don't we all? ^

The media does. Its like, "Whoop-de-fucking-do, in his DNA it says that he can only be atracted to penises. Let's degrade him and tell the general public all of his secrets. It's not like we could be reporting on anything worthwhile, like child labour in China and Thaiwan."

"Fat kid asuccessfully avoids ridicule by swimming with a shirt"

Is a good one :')

For future people believing this story, it is a mock site.

"Kidnapped boy imagines he's found" is a bit of a tell aha

Oh my goodness, that website is soo good! (www.theonion.com)..

Even their commercials are meant to be a ridicule of something!

But then I wonder where they're getting the funding from, because these people seem quite professional to me!

I think this could also be looking at just how sensationalist the News really is. Not just in this parody but outside of it as well. They need a "feel good story" So why not play on homosexuality- overcomming all those dicriminations- A pretty good story to sell.

So be happy. As long as gays are discriminated, the news gets a story to make someone say "That's horrible" and we get each one of our stories told one step at a time.

I can't wait till I get to tell the story of being the only gay walrus.
