Haven’t seen much if any mention of this, other than at Cursor.org: The Scotsman ran a story late last week about how there’s an “alarming new threat” in the the war on terrorism: gay Afghan farmers! Apparently British marines involved in the recent “Operation Condor” mission were propositioned by “swarms” of men wearing make-up.
[…] “We were pretty shocked,” Marine Fletcher said. “We discovered from the Afghan soldiers we had with us that a lot of men in this country have the same philosophy as ancient Greeks: ‘a woman for babies, a man for pleasure’.”
It’s a weird story, and sounds like something you’d find over at The Onion. I could have done without the “heavens to betsy” shocked tone. I mean really, considering how poorly the British presence in Afghanistan has gone, I think those boys should loosen up and get their toenails painted. And I can’t resist the thought that perhaps those “gay farmers” were merely attempting to give a little back in kind for what the “coalition” has done to Afghanistan.
