Title: If ya can't beat 'em, turn them Gay.
Post by: Barbarian on Sat 15/01/2005 06:57:42
Oh boy, this tidbit of news was so odd I thought I'd share it.

US Military does research into making "Gay Bombs"Ã, 
"Why, thosse swilly big hunky Ameri-cannss!"Ã,   :-*
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4174519.stm

Hahah.. I got a laugh out of some more of thier ideas too, such as the "Fart / Who Me Bomb":

"In a variation on that idea, researchers pondered a "Who? Me?" bomb, which would simulate flatulence in enemy ranks. "

they even were thinking of making a "Bad Breath" bomb?  Geee, makes ya wonder just who is in charge of making up new weapon ideas for the US military?  :P

If we're in battle, is he going to be looking at the enemy,
or is he going to be looking at me and going, "Ooh. He
looks tasty in his uniform"?

"Estan bojos aquests americans..."

Translation: "These Americans are crazy" [just like Obelix keeps saying one way and another "These Romans are crazy (http://lcg-www.uia.ac.be/~erikt/asterix/romans.html)"]

I recon a gayifying bomb sound totally GENIOUS! non-leathal mind-fuck warfare should be the future!

Not so sure about the bad-breath-bomb though...

Both in combination would be awesome.

Imagine being overcome by lust for your comrades, yet unable to kiss them. You'll be stuck betwixt forces of attraction and revulsion.

Hehehe, superb.

It's interesting to see that such 'biological' weapons have been considered by the military; would be rather amusing to see them used in battle.

It's doesn't make them gay ... it makes them irresistably horny.Ã,  I think there's a difference here that the media is expoliting a wee-bit.Ã,  That's typical media for you I guess.

Personally, I think it's stupid ... the goal of the bomb is to what?Ã,  Weaken morale?Ã,  Lower their will to fight?Ã,  Why?Ã,  So they're easier to kill?

Fuck that, just drop a MOAB on them in the first place and save them humiliation of making out with their comrades ...

Can you imagine?Ã,  The US gets trashed for making some prisoners get naked and pile them up?Ã,  Now we're going to make them have sex with each other too?

Brilliant ... just bloody brilliant.

QuoteThe US military investigated building a "gay bomb", which would make enemy soldiers "sexually irresistible" to each other, government papers say.

Either that, or perhaps they would spend their time accesorizing their uniforms, instead of tweaking those nasty guns!  Fabulous!

Actually, isn't the bomb more of a sex bomb rather than a gay bomb? At least that was the version I heard.

Yep, the military dropped funding for this so called "Gay" Bomb. Now they just send me over there, and my amazing good looks turn even the straightest soldier instantly gay....This is my gift, and I use it to help the world....

Actually the research probably just got bought out by some big corperation or "unique" individual, and they just say that "the funding was dropped."

Reminds me of a movie called "Flesh Gordon" a spoof of the clasic sci-fi "Flash Gordon" series of the 1930s.   Flesh (or Flash) was on a plane when the sex ray hit.  Everyone, including the pilots, got horny and couldn't help from having sex.   The plane started going down because there was nobody at the controls.   Flesh, being the hero and all was able to overcome his and his girl's urges and parachuted himself and his girl to saftey before the plane crashed. 

When they landed  they encountered Dr. Zharcov (can't remeber the exact name) who was in terrible shape.  His clothes were torn, he looked like he had a hangover from hell and was in a war zone.  They asked what had happened to him and he said ....

Spoiler

"I was all alone when the sex ray hit ...".

Heh. I think it's kinda funny so many people in this thread condone this idea... thing is, it didn't happen, so there ain't much to condone or not to condone. Anyone can have a wild idea. It's when wild ideas are carried through that condoning is needed.
