    Having a Way With Words…

    The people at the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) have finally taken to the airwaves in an effort to curb one of my biggest pet peeves: human stupidity with language.

    Their newest campaign, Think Before You Speak, targets the overuse (especially among teenagers) of the phrase “that’s so gay” when commenting on stupid or funny things. Personally, I have heard it a lot and most of the time, it has irritated me to say the least. Can’t people be a little more original and less stupid?

    Here’s one of their ads, featuring Wanda Sykes:

    Some twisted part of me has always liked the “Messin’ with Sasquatch” commercials. As I was browsing on Cryptomundo tonight, I saw a few more… including the following: the “Towel Whip”.

    It’s uncensored so avert your eyes if rear views offend you…

    I don’t want to leave out those of you, dear readers, who could care less about the environment…

    Therefore, I thought I’d mention another interesting holiday which we should all keep in mind for next year: the 22nd of March is World Pillow Fight Day.

    Organizers in many large cities stage massive pillow fights on this day. Clean-up crews are also asked to bring rakes and trash bags. If there isn’t one in your nearest city, you can always schedule your own!

    I know a lot of us have some aggression to work out. What better way than bash people with down feathers?

    It reminds me of the Absolut vodka commercial riot scene. If only more wars and protests were fought this way: no casualties and a few laughs!
