You couldn't make it up dept. no.64: sex bomb, sex bomb, you're my sex bomb...

The only people stupider than those who proposed to the Pentagon to disable enemy fighters by gassing them with aphrodisiacs (therefore driving up one of the instincts best known for making people fight) are the homosexual activists who presented this as an attempt to make the enemy homosexual - which it was not - and dubbed it the "gay bomb"; and

Thank you for saying this. I tried to say this but it didn't go over too well and, as a comedian says, you can't argue with stupid. I'm not surprised that bias was put on it but I am surprised more people don't see it for what it is *sigh*

we know that whatever happens in the world is only relevant if it has to do with the crotch, right?

And people are only interesting if they're ruled by it, apparently. Hence the premature sexualization of prepubescents, manfesting in the rush to dress young girls as prostitutes.
