You Win This Round, Canada…

I’ve been shitty with Canada and their so-called inferior money supply for so long, so it’s only fair that I now give credit where credit is due. As you can see from the screencap, the value of Canada’s dollar has now eclipsed that of the American dollar. This means only one thing: We’re all gonna die.

Gay Marriage Gets Backdoor Treatment

Remember back in the day to the 2004 election hen everything was gay marriage gay marriage gay marriage? Now it’s about kicking out the Mexicans, and why not? I mean, with whom would you rather share a neighborhood? Those preppy, well-educated homos with all

I suppose border control is the new gay marriage for this election. Either way, everyone seems hellbent about keeping people from entering your backside.

Anyway, for this election, we seem to be looking at ban proposals in Iowa and Florida. What’s interesting about these proposals is that both states already have laws about limiting or defining marriage as a heterosexual enterprise. Both groups (The Iowa Family Policy Council and Florida4marriage.org) are seeking the bans to be written into their respective state constitutions, so that those crazy-assed maverick, legislate-from-the-bench types would be less successful in overturning the laws already in place. Iowa’s proposal probably won’t be on a ballot before 2010, while Floridians will have their say on getting a ban into their constitution. this November, if they can get it on the ballot in time.

Elsewhere, Mike Huckabee (Fuckabee!) might take some shit for his take on the matter:

I think the radical view is to say that we’re going to change the definition of marriage so that it can mean two men, two women, a man and three women, a man and a child, a man and animal. Again, once we change the definition, the door is open to change it again.

Photoshop.

Haha, Canada. You’re Gay

This isn’t really sports-related, but it’s (a) fascinating analysis completed with a Moneyball-style approach, and (b) talking about gayness, which always seems to be topical for some reason. Seriously, gays are the new black. They were probably the old black, too. You get the idea.

Christian Rudder from OkTrends ran the numbers on over 3 million users from an online North American dating site, and while a lot of it comes off as condescending and even distorted are somewhat condescending, he does unearth some fascinating gems. A few highlights:

  • Twenty-three percent of the total gay male sex reported was had by 2% of gay men polled.
  • Almost a quarter of “straight” people admitted to a sexual encounter with someone of the same sex?
  • Five percent of gay men polled thought the earth was bigger than the sun.

The post doesn’t explain how they determined that Canada was so “gay-curious,” but whatever.

A quick note regarding that obviously-tasteless headline: A lot of people get bent out of shape when people hear “gay” or other homosexual connotations used as pejoratives, as if those comments ostracize them from society at large. Why would I discriminate against gays when my government does such a good job of that without me? I’d argue that off-color usage of “gay bombs” puts them on the same societal plane with blacks, Catholics, the Irish, left-handers, Southerners, mountain men, gingers, blondes, Mexican immigrants, the Polish, and anyone that has ever worn acid-washed jeans. Sounds like a pretty inclusive group to me.

This Dog Dry-Humped A Teddy Bear, Much To The Delight Of Gus Johnson

I just want to point out that this is the third video I’ve put out in three weeks, and by week’s end, I probably will have rolled out two or three more. And yet they’re so much fun to make, they don’t even feel like work.

This one only took about an hour, using this clip and this Gus Johnson soundboard. Whoever put that board together, you are doing the Lord’s work. I probably could have spent another hour tuning the audio, but there’s only so much investment one can make in a video of a dog masturbating.

As seen on With Leather.
