Smoking is gay

Post by **defuseability** » Fri Nov 13, 2009 4:17 pm

I found a video on youtube that really makes me angry. I think its supposed to be a joke, but it still upsets me. It's an anti-smoking campaign that says if you smoke, people will think your gay.

That's the link to the video. Watch it and tell me what you think. Is anyone else angered by this?

I find it funny

It is funny as it's meant to be funny. Onion news is a spoof of the way the news is delivered to us.
It's meant to look real but it isn't.

It's actually making fun of people who describe things as "that's so gay" when they mean something is bad or horrible, it's not making fun of gay people.

I know its a joke. And I know its meant to be funny. But, its not to me.

Well, if this offends you then you are probably a very easy target.

I'm gay myself and I'm always telling 'gay jokes', just the same as I tell black jokes, jewish jokes and muslim jokes.

It's a terrible thing if we ever lost our sense of humour.

I thought it was funny too(:
Although i wouldn't be surprised when someone says they were REALLY pissed that they showed that.

Blessed Be,

I am gay and I do smoke.

But you're right, smoking is terrible. Nobody should do it.

My parents smoke, and they aren't gay.
Or at least i dont really think so.
That would be very...interesting.

Blessed Be,

Yeah, that clip is definitely meant to be a joke- but everyone has their own sense of humor, so what one finds droll, another may be offended by.
-All of which, is totally fine. It makes us who we are. If we all liked and disliked the same things, life would be awfully boring. :28:
