Gay Sex with Homophones

Some people are getting tired of using the film Idiocracy as shorthand for "the world is getting dumber," but my God. It's true: the world is getting dumber, and a lot of the reason why is explained in (what I feel) is a very spot-on fashion by the first few minutes of said film (see here, with thanks to Gizmodo for supplying this link to me).

I thought of Idiocracy immediately when I read an article about a blogger from language school who was fired after writing a post about homophones. You no what a homophone is, write? Well, too people whose first language is knot English, homophones can bee confusing, as ewe might imagine.

But I guess to people whose first language is hate speech, the word homophone itself is confusing.

Clarke Woodger, the owner of the language school, told the blogger upon terminating him: "Now our school is going to be associated with homosexuality."

No, wait! That's pretty stupid, right? I'd go so far as to say it's idiotic. However, there's more good assheadedness where that came from.

"People at this level of English...may see the 'homo' side and think it has something to do with gay sex," Woodger apparently went on to say without cracking a smile or bursting into laughter at the very notion.

As Kate Bush might sing on the album Lionheart, WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW

UnbeLIEVEable!
