NC & GA on SC ’so gay’

by Matt | July 16th, 2008 |

Spagnola, a conservative blogger from Greensboro, NC, with whom I often have my disagreements, had a hilarious post on the “South Carolina is so gay” ad flap:

I can see North Carolina calling up Georgia right now:

NC: “I heard that South Carolina stopped whistling Dixie and started singing Liza Minelli tunes.”

GA: “That South Carolina is SO gay.”

Spag says, “It was supposed to be an advertisement, but it reads like a taunt.”

I’ve heard some of that — even from the gay community. There are still lots of folks uneasy with the “so gay” reference, as it remains the taunt-of-choice in schools across the nation.

But then Spag just tops it off. I broke down in almost uncontrollable laughter:

I guess “South Carolina is flaming” and “South Carolina is on fire” were opposed by the forestry service.

A little laughter never hurts.
