The Pentagon's "Gay Bomb" Plan
From San Francisco's CBS 5 News comes the revelation that the Pentagon once investigated the possibility of developing a bomb that would turn enemy soldiers gay. No, really. An Air Force lab sent a proposal to the Pentagon which suggested weaponizing "strong aphrodisiacs, especially if the chemical also caused homosexual behavior." In other words -- to distill what I'm sure was an incredibly sophisticated thought process -- the plan was to develop some sort of powerful gay-i-fying juice and spray it all over enemy troops. Then, as said troops became distracted and weakened from their compulsive buggering of one another, we would seize military victory and sail to glory.
No, really.
There's also an interview with a gay woman saying that the proposal's implication -- that gay behavior is a "distasteful" thing -- is offensive. Me, I wonder how offensive any American might find it that our military seems to be lifting its weaponization strategy from discarded "South Park" concepts. I mean... come on... really?
