Universal Stupidity

It seems that, in the Northeastern French city of Nancy, Gay Pride was held on the same day as a bicycle festival. In a poorly thought out joke , a politician called it a real "Pedal day". A *hilarious* joke because bicycles have pedals, and pedal is also something you can call gay men [in French]! A homophobic slur, even

Is that a specifically French homophobic slur? I've never heard of it.

[ahimsa114]

Yea, sorry. That was my (awkward) way of translating a pun...

[blue_shadows9]

Oh, okay. I'm just glad I haven't been missing anything that should have been obvious.

I can't even begin to imagine how that word got turned into a slur. Regardless, what an asshole!

I love how one of your tags is "work avoidance." Hehe.

That's actually from college, but it's just as applicable right now. ;)
