Default To All Teh Gay Men: Are You Offended By New CDC Anti-Smoking Ads?
I find this highly offensive. I don't think this is an effective way to stop teens from smoking.

Saw an add for a tobacco-less smoking gadget on TV night before last. Great way to keep kids from smoking . . .

Sad thing is that it's true...it would be extremely effective to use homophobia to advance public health.

Think of it like a movie. The Torah is the first one, and the New Testament is the sequel. Then the Qu'ran comes out, and it retcons the last one like it never happened. There's still Jesus, but he's not the main character anymore, and the messiah hasn't shown up yet.

Jews like the first movie but ignored the sequels, Christians think you need to watch the first two, but the third movie doesn't count, Moslems think the third one was the best, and Mormons liked the second one so much they started writing fanfiction that doesn't fit with ANY of the series canon."

[Rickson]That is why the government created AIDS.[/Rickson]

Actually, I think it might have had a much bigger affect 10 or 20 years ago. Now it seems there are enough openly gay HSers that it probably wouldn't have the same impact. Still would be some what effective just not as much. Now it would be more offensive than effective.
