Five passengers set sail that day, for a three-hour tour

[rolanni]

My father and I used to watch Gilligan's Island together, back in the day. Just for the record, we also used to watch properly family-centric shows like, um...Combat! The Outer Limits! Ed Sullivan, The Man from U.N.C.L.E, Patti Duke, The Wild, Wild West, and The Donna Reed Show. Big Donna Reed fan, my dad. Though I will say, just in passing, that even I noticed her husband was a bit dim, and I was only eight.

Anyhow, who knew that, as we indulged in father-daughter bonding in front of the tube, we were ingesting The Homosexual Agenda that has become so dangerous in our present fraught times?

My thanks to Robin Wayne Bailey for pointing this article out.

Still trying to work out if it's satire or for real... I forget whose law that is.

From the article:
[Gilligan's Island] helped create the mythic image of the promiscuous seaman and spurred the issues of same-sex relations that still plague our naval forces to this day

Better tell Winston Churchill, who, according to http://www.thisdayinquotes.com/2010/08/rum-sodomy-and-lash-winston-churchills.html didn't really say it but wished he had.

Wow!

I wonder what show he was watching because it clearly wasn't the same one I watched!

His obsession with finding gay elements and connections makes me think he's deep in a closet and floating down de Nile. 'Sorta like when I was pregnant and everywhere I looked, I saw pregnant women or newborn babies - but I never saw them when I wasn't.

Oh my cosmic underpants, that's f'ing hilarious! Who needs Tellitubbies?

What really scared me was when I looked at the site and saw the 4,700 plus LIKES of it in the Facebook widget. *shudders*

LOL, thank you for the post. Hysterical satire, in both senses of the word.

I could have used a little humor this AM. However, that site/domain/link is apparently on my companies blocked list. I have been "reported". Oh, well I guess I will have to read it tonight at home.

Wikipedia says it's fake. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christwire

Poe's law is easily at work here.

Didn't Jesus encourage people to give up their goods to the poor and share things with their community? Didn't Jesus bunk with a bunch of guys? (And a prostitute, I guess.)

I refuse to take seriously any nitwit who doesn't know "tack" from "tact"!

That is just about the weirdest article I've ever seen - even beyond the one claiming that the 2010 census was a democratic plot to create a secret database about paranoid conservatives. And why the elaborate details about things they disapprove of so thoroughly?

I don't believe Gilligan's Island was a subversive plot to undermine the American family, and more than I believe that Hogan's Heros or Branded or F-Troop or McHale's Navy (none of which were about families) were...

...Please tell me this is a joke? If in exceedingly poor taste. People can't actually be that stupid.

My first reaction was that about half the shows he listed as 1960's were really 1970's shows. Then I was alternately outraged and amused at the article, which seemed a bit far fetched, but not completely out of line for the far religious right. Then I looked again and checked out the website, which is clearly satire. Sort of along the lines of "The Onion". Still, it is scary to think that there are people who really think this way.

Honest! Can't people just let something fun be funny?

What did they want, orgies of straight people all day long?

Oh. it IS satire? *wipes brow in relief*
Still, I'd like to know what's in his water-source ...

[james parks (from livejournal.com)]

I did check to see if the date the article was written was April 1.

[dmellieon.livejournal.com]

Oh My.. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Humm, makes me wonder what he thinks of the original "Johnny Quest".

I'm Speechless

[claire774.livejournal.com]

I'm speechless. The article may be satire but real people eat up stuff like that. Hoards of hairy gay men invading your TV screen if not your neighborhood. Run for the hills! I thought we had to worry more about those hairy men with turbans hiding underneath all our beds. Two Imams got thrown off a plane recently. they were caught in the act of trying to fly while bearded. Let me know if any very hairy men in sailor suits get thrown off any planes. I'm afraid to fly anyway.

Oh yeah. Now I remember why Cap'n Mal ended up completely nekked sitting on a rock in the desert. The bad guys stole his clothes. Great stimulus for the brain.
