New Anti-Smoking Ads Warn Teens 'It's Gay To Smoke'

I don't mind the use of gay as a word to describe things that a person doesn't like, in fact I use it myself often, but this is obviously a homophobic ad of the worst kind. Kind of like saying ''hey chill out, it's only a joke'', while at the same time promoting shit homosexual stereotypes in a serious context.

I noticed that when you neg repped me for going to The Globe.

Lurker 10.06.2009 12:15 PM

You're an idiot, this is from The Onion.

Genteel Death 10.06.2009 12:18 PM

I want to neg-rep you again but I can't. Yet.

Lurker 10.06.2009 12:21 PM

I'm waiting for it bitch.

Genteel Death 10.06.2009 12:22 PM

Give it time and have some patience, please.

Lurker 10.06.2009 12:25 PM

Bring it

floatingslowly 10.06.2009 12:29 PM

owned HARD by The Onion.

I'm not even going to ask if this is less slow-witted. I already know the answer.

Lurker 10.06.2009 12:30 PM

Ha!

Genteel Death 10.06.2009 12:31 PM

Owned what exactly?

Lurker 10.06.2009 12:31 PM

The owner! Yeah!

EDIT - damn, I thought there was a "by" in this post:

Ogay.
Floatingslowly, man, I strongly suggest you make a clear separation between being serious and being humorous, since when you try being serious it's hard to take you seriously, and when you try being funny it's hard to see the humour in what you post.

warning: serious context.

Genteel Death 10.06.2009 12:46 PM

Man, and you think I didn't start this thread as a reference to your comment about myself making a good anti-smoker? Not that I am pulling your leg, I AM PULLING YOUR LEG.

atsonicpark 10.06.2009 12:53 PM

If this was true, wouldn't it promote smoking more?

That whole mislabeled "emo" scene is all about appearing homosexual. Hence the girlpants, Flock of Seagull haircuts, dudes kissing dudes on myspacebook, etc.

floatingslowly 10.06.2009 12:59 PM

you seem bovvered. maybe if you kept telling yrself that this thread was a gag, you might actually believe it. I won't, but you might.

dirty bunny 10.06.2009 01:03 PM

The Onion is really very clever, but it's just not really funny. At all.

I'm going to have to call you thinkingslowly, from now on.

totally agreed.

Genteel Death 10.06.2009 02:15 PM

More than very clever it's often very predictable, in that you kind of know the punchline before it comes in.

The word "gay" has definitely been through the treadmill with its definition. Gay started off meaning happy, then it changed to meaning being homosexual, now it means stupid. It's really gay.

Alex's Trip 10.06.2009 02:48 PM

"gay" and "smoker" are the most important part of my identity!!!!!

True fact.

Genteel Death 10.06.2009 03:08 PM

I prefer queer than gay. Gays are gay.

+ thats coming from someone that DID NOT smoke in HS (well..like twice). id still buy ciggies from the kids in the bathroom though because they listened to better music than the kids stressing about their grades. haha...id usually just give the purchased ciggies away....haha....prolly a few days later from the same kids id bought em from.

i was a sneaky bastard.


sneaky how? you bought them...it wasnt like you were getting money...

I'm fucking queer as hell and it rules. I try not to formulate my identity around my sexuality (or any other element of my private life...identity politics weirds me out..) but it seems to come up a lot....

I did, however, quit smoking...for the most part. I still have a cigarette every now and then.

WHEN DID YOU STOP BEING GOOD AT THIS GAME??

Sonic Youth Gossip 10.06.2009 06:59 PM

mistaking shit from the onion as proper news = massive and hilarious embarrassment.

Since I have to spell it out for you: the video I got from David Stubbs'facebook page, a man not exactly known for his lack of humour, and it clearly is from the orange, a site I visit fairly regularly in the hope of finding something to entertain myself with at work. I used the tone of a deliberately outraged person because I kind of knew the sort of response I'd get. And you proved more than inspiring with your comment abou making a good ex-smoker on the other thread. The reason for all this is because your continuous attempts at humour are often irritating, so I thought I'd take the mickey out of you while deliberately appearing serious. For someone who likes to be known as jollyslowly, you sure take the internet much more seriously than I previously thought, what with this being good at this or that business.

Lurker 10.07.2009 03:13 AM

Maybe you took our mock seriousness too seriously?

pbradley 10.07.2009 03:37 AM

Oh Onion, the discord you bring to the internet with your irreverent titles.

jon boy 10.07.2009 11:27 AM

c'mon everyone knows smoking is for ladyboys.

Sonic Youth Gossip 10.07.2009 08:32 PM

i love how op is pretending that they knew this was fake news after floaty pointed it out

Sonic Youth Gossip 10.07.2009 09:00 PM

what's that sack of nerd rage going to do to me

floatingslowly 10.07.2009 10:20 PM

re: tl;dr

I get enough serious business offline. why the hell would I want to take that with me when I jack-in?

there are far too many idiots on the internet pretending to be intelligent.

I say fuck them. fire with fire. damn the torpedoes.

until the day that this board stops shitting diamonds, I'll save my decipherable texts for pm's.
