The only time I use that f word is when I sing along with Money for Nothing.I'm sorry,once I hear that guitar riff I can't control myself. Funny enough I don't believe I've ever heard the version of that song with that verse. I had to go and look for it, and it does sound out of place because I'm not used to it. Has that verse always been left out of the radio edit?

I had no idea that Faggot was also a word for Meatballs. To Subway!

4 is ridiculous, I'm hoping you are joking. Ridiculous as it may be, things can get pretty heated behind closed doors. There are no rules. All bets are off. Yep. Anything goes during whoopie.

Pretty much half of Ajax's dialog from the Warriors involved "f*****".
On a different note, from the blue ranger thread, it's strange how most of the people I've followed as a kid have come out of the closet. Not sure how I should think of that........

And think of all of those teenage girls who fell in love with Dr. Doogie Howser in the late 80's.

My favorite ranger as a kid was the blue one, actually. Then again, I think that was just because I loved the color blue and triceratops was a pretty cool zord.

Happy International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, all. Bit of a hefty name for the day, but was quite nice to wake up and see related subjects trending on Twitter, and broadly without the kind of stupidity normally seen in trending topic feeds.
Also, was browsing Kotaku, and it was a pleasant surprise to see that male/male relationships will be included in Mass Effect 3. May seem like small potatoes, but it's a positive sign after the depressing attitude Bioware adopted over Mass Effect 2, presumably to avoid controversy. They said that "We still view it as... if you’re picturing a PG-13 action movie.", which is why you can recruit a murderer who drugs and rapes her female victims as part of your big hero team, and they also said that your character is a "more defined character" and so that wasn't our choice. This, despite the fact that you could choose the sex, birthplace, backstory, personality, appearance and love interest of the character in question. Nice to see they're taking a more sane approach this time, even if the response of some gamers crying out in protest (apparently it's because it affects canon... Sure...) is both depressingly predictable, and also Bioware's own fault.

With games, as with anything, it's a damned if you do, damned if you dont situation.
If you leave it out, the majority wont care and the people who do will generally be gay gamers who are annoyed they can't play as 'themselves,' or in a scenerio they'd prefer to play in. If you put it in, you risk your core fan base getting pissy or the same gay gamers who would have moaned if it wasnt there moan because the gay characters are too gay, or not gay enough, or because they get annoyed if you turn them down or whatever the problem was people had with DA2.
I quite like the idea that if developers want to put romance in a game, good for them, but it should be totally optional. If you want to go have a virtual relationship you can, but you dont have to to progress the game, and as with real life, if you want to go on the pull, you can go meet people of either sex by going to specific areas or bars within the game.

They could have not tackled homosexual romances in the previous games, but the upsetting thing is that they did tackle them, and then they backpedalled furiously in rather unpleasant ways.
They deleted the male/male relationship from the first game (even though all the assets remained on the disc), and they did the same with the second game, just with the new potential female/female relationships deleted as well, presumably thanks to the controversy from the first game. Then they offered up the rather horrible stance that being gay wasn't PG while rape/murder was, and the subsequent idiotic 'defined character' line was just offensive to people's intelligence.
I know it's a fine line to tread, but I'd have honestly been happier with ME2 if they'd just said "Yeah, we were going to do it, but we were worried about getting controversy from Fox again, and we've got to avoid that kind of negative press with a big franchise like this, hope that gay gamers enjoy the game anyway." I enjoyed the game massively, but found myself resenting it when I read Bioware's comments.

I never looked into it far enough to know they had said things like that. Bit stupid, for sure, but clearly there is something behind the scenes that stopped that stuff going in if it was developed and programed.

So CNN anchor Don Lemon came out of the closet today, to which I say good for him. It's always nice to see when somebody accepts who they are

I agree that it's great to see more gay and lesbian couples in the media. There are a couple of recent ads here with gay male couples and there hasn't been an uproar.

Lets post some thread appropriate jokes.
"Two gay guys decide to have a baby. They mix their sperm, then have a surrogate mother artificially inseminated. When the baby's born, they rush to the hospital.
"Two dozen babies are on the ward, 23 of whom are crying and screaming. One, over in the corner, is smiling serenely. A nurse comes by, and to the gays' delight, she points out the happy child as theirs.
"'Isn't it wonderful?' one of the guys exclaims. 'All these unhappy children, and ours is so happy.'
"The nurse says, 'He's happy now ... but just wait until we take the pacifier out of his ass.'"
"Three guys go to the Amazon on a vacation. While there they get lost, and are captured by a tribe of bad-ass natives. They are taken into the deepest, darkest part of the jungle and tied onto poles in a clearing.
"After night falls and a huge bonfire is blazing, all the tribe members assemble and began chanting and making merry in anticipation of a great evening's fun at the expense of the three vacationers.
"Suddenly, a hush falls over the crowd - the Chief has arrived! He goes over to the first guy tied to a pole and asks, 'DEATH, or Uga Buga?' The guy, not knowing what it is, answers that he'll take the Uga Buga. The crowd breaks into an uproar!! Eight of the biggest, strongest and most virile savages step out of the crowd, free the guy from his pole, bend him over a log and sodomize him for 30 minutes. The crowd is elated!
"The King walks over to the second guy, and asks 'DEATH or Uga Buga?' The second guy looks at the first guy, still gasping for breath and writhing on the ground, and swallows hard. He thinks to himself, 'I don't know if I can take that or not, but I'm too young to die.' He also chooses Uga Buga! Again, the crowd erupts in glee. Eight more savages emerge from the crowd, take the second guy off his pole, and sodomize him for 45 minutes!!
"The third guy is in a real sweat!! The king approaches him and asks 'DEATH or Uga Buga?' The third guy looks over at the first two guys. It's not a pretty sight. He swallows hard and answers 'DEATH!' The Chief is astounded! With a puzzled look he replies, 'OK, DEATH! DEATH BY UGA BUGA!'"

I know it's against forum rules to really get into specifics, but another state is VERY, VERY close to legalizing gay marriage; and if I read it right we as an entire nation are a few votes away as well!

I'm going to Iceland in October, it's all legal there and their PM is an old lesbian.
Now that is an accepting country!
