Gay Joke Gone Awry?

For some strange reason, this reminds me of that recently closed thread.

I think Vince has it right...

 

Words change meaning. 50 years ago Gay meant happy. 30 years ago Gay meant homosexual. Today, Gay simply means stupid; or lame.

I strongly recommend this book: Semantic Antics: How and Why Words Change Meaning

 

Here's the trailer that got yanked:

They need to re-open the Gay Thread!

 

So, we can't refer to the 1890s as the "Gay 90s?" Fuck that; I'll say what I want. I revel in political incorrectness. Make no mistake, PC is nothing more than an attempt at thought control. It has to do with power, not the feelings of others.

BTW, I love that Anderson Cooper can use the term "teabagger" with abandon, but someone says "gay" in a movie preview and he chooses to get indignant. The guy is shameful. If he really cared about his gay bretheren, he'd come out of the closet. Instead, he just whines about words.

 

this thread is gay

 

Anderson Cooper isn't gay.



















and his boyfriend isn't either.

 

Gay still means homosexual, which is where the problem is here.

 

I said that in the other thread, got it deleted, and was probably part of it being closed...

My bad.

 

I had the same thing happen. The mods are gay!

 

To be sure, there is censorship on spaceship S2. It's just kept in the closet.

Now, as to the movie scene, I just don't see the big deal. It's a funny scene.
