I vote for laughable.

Ok...this is a real story. I know it'll seem like some bad movie, but it comes from the CBS affiliate in San Francisco.


A Berkeley watchdog organization that tracks military spending said it uncovered a strange U.S. military proposal to create a hormone bomb that could purportedly turn enemy soldiers into homosexuals and make them more interested in sex than fighting.

Pentagon officials on Friday confirmed to CBS 5 that military leaders had considered, and then subsquently rejected, building the so-called "Gay Bomb."


Read the story and see if you can get through it with a straight face.

I made it until I got to this sentence:

"The Ohio Air Force lab proposed that a bomb be developed that contained a chemical that would cause enemy soliders to become gay, and to have their units break down...


Emphasis, need I add, mine.

Gay community leaders in California said Friday that they found the notion of a "gay bomb" both offensive and almost laughable at the same time.
