This explains a lot

by Robert Koehler on January 15, 2012

“Japanese food — that is some seriously gay food,” Mr. Doonan mused. “I’ve been to restaurants in Japan where they bring out a watermelon in its entirety and they open it up and inside it’s full of ice and one little pink piece of sushi in the middle. Basically, you’re taking sloppy bits of fish and making them into these exquisite little bonbons, and that seems inordinately gay to me.”

Hey, didja ever notice how gay people use certain pens, and straight people use different pens? Me neither.
7 hamel January 15, 2012 at 5:51 pm: Granfalloon: no, but those gays sure seem to know what a penis.

He means gay as in retarded.

Yes, because equating gay with retarded is SO much better than homophobia.
14 ghost January 16, 2012 at 4:19 am: I didn’t realize the homosexual community had absolute dominion over language and definitions.
15 setnaffa January 16, 2012 at 9:46 am: Apparently, the combination of “;-)” and “/sarc” din’t catch the attention of some of my distinguished fellow commentators.

I’ll try to be less subtle in the future. Especially when discussing that famous right-wing newspaper…
