I don’t like feeling gay.
Gay in this sense has nothing to do with homosexuality, it’s a kind of shame or embarrassment by association with an object or idea ruined by obviousness, obnoxiousness or nescience.
The word “ghey” has been offered as a way to describe this feeling but it’s bullshit for two reasons:
1) ‘Gay’ had several other meanings before homosexual, and gays from that time forward didn’t offer an alternate spelling to separate themselves from the original meaning.
2) The well-intentioned but foolish adopter of “ghey” is left having to spell G-H-E-Y after saying, “gay” so as not to offend nearby gays. Who needs extra work?
Saw this today at the supermarket and yes, it made me feel gay:
I understand putting other SW characters on the boxes, including the fucking soccer ball that doesn’t need to eat. But how can Kylo Ren, wimpy-named villain and Vader groupie give a fuck about nutrition or pleasing kids, especially with a product name as GAY as GO-GURT?
More laughable is the new SW movie is rated PG-13, which means there’s a possibility of KR decapitating some poor fool with a lightsaber. This could be the Madonna/Pepsi controversy of this decade, especially since the new lightsaber looks like a burning cross.
And then there’s this:
SLURP SABER.
Slurp Saber…is funny.
VITAL UPDATE: The Force Awakens has been out for a few weeks. By featuring Kylo Ren, Go-Gurt is advocating patricide. Seems about right.
