Speculative friction

Remember all that brouhaha abut the US Army trying to develop a "gay bomb"? The inevitable's happened... someone's making a porn movie about it. :)

Gaybomb_posterFollowing the controversial political parody of Gaytanamo, released to huge critical acclaim earlier this year, New York'€™s most filthy-fun gay film studio Dark Alley Media today announced plans to kick the US Government while it’s down.

Gay Bomb will take us into the future and the year 2012. George the Second has refused to step down as leader of the “free world,” and the nations of Europe have banded together to fight the new American military dictatorship. Desperate to fend off its attackers, the US launches the experimental “gay bomb,” designed to make the enemy forces drop their guns and turn fag. But the winds of fate blow in a different direction, and soon America is brought to its knees.

Recent news headlines revealed that Pentagon insiders admitted to having truly considered the gay bomb€ as an example of non-lethal chemical warfare in the Iraq War. The Air Force asked for a $7.5 million grant to develop the idea, which was proposed to the government’s highest scientific authority.

Dark Alley’s Matthias von Fistenberg said, "We’re really not making this up..."

Gay Bomb will begin filming in November 2007, after Dark Alley completes its already jam-packed production and release schedule for the year. Look out for current releases Gaytanamo and Fisting Underground, Part 3, as well as the upcoming Matthias von Fistenberg's Fist Weekend.

Wow. And yet wasn't there some Greek philosopher who wanted an all gay army because he figured they would all wany to impress each other or at least not be a pany in front of their boyfriends so they would fight more valliantly? But having sex and just being slaughtered on the battle field makes a lot of sense too.

Don't get me wring it makes more than enough for porn, just that it was a real plan. Wow.

In the actual documentation, it seems that gayness wasn't really the focus - they wanted to release chemicals that would amp up the libido to such an extent that it would interfere with military capability (which is plausible).

As an addendum, they suggested having it induce homosexuality, which would mean that the men would be humping and pointing fingers instead of sublimating.

And it was mentioned in a whole series of plans... just that this one is the most comical. :)
