Fundie Indignance Alert!

"Oh... oh... oh... oh oh oh ohohohohohohAHHHH!!!" go the fundies, as they writhe in the throes of (yet another) pants-wetting, pearl-clutching indignation high! And what might have brought this one on? Just watch this commercial for Fusion Gum:


Heaven help us, it's bisexual gum! The Apocalypse must surely be at hand. According to "The American Decency Association" ("American Decency Association"? You can't make this shit up!), we're running, not walking, to hell in a handbasket, and furiously chomping on bisexual gum all the way. After smelling salts were applied, the ADA came to and thundered:

"Eclipse Fusion Gum, a Wrigley product, advertises with a strong allusion to lesbianism on television.
Wrigley is more concerned about appealing to the homosexual/lesbian consumer than it is about offending millions of Bible believing Christians.

We have occasionally enjoyed Eclipse gum. No longer. A company that goes so strongly against the standard of God sends the clear message to me that my business is no longer desired."

Give 'er, slick! You tell 'em! Meanwhile, if we check out the comments with this report on the story, a tell-tale pattern emerges: of 27 comments, 21 are from females (all negative), 6 from males (5 negative). The question is: where are the rest of the outraged christian guys? Surely they're outraged? Maybe in order to build up enough outrage for a proper indignation high, they need to watch the commercial a few more times. Yeah, that must be it. Mmkay guys, 20 or 30 times should do it, eh? After that you've crossed the Rubicon from Indignance Island to the Masturbation mainland.
