I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Top conservative news site says soy products make you gay

This isn't just some goofy fringe news site. It's WorldNetDaily (which we affectionately refer to as WingNutDaily), a site that all the right-wing pundits use as a source for their daily vitriol. Here's an excerpt:

There's a slow poison out there that's severely damaging our children and threatening to tear apart our culture....

The dangerous food I'm speaking of is soy. Soybean products are feminizing, and they're all over the place....

Unfortunately, when you eat or drink a lot of soy stuff, you're also getting substantial quantities of estrogens.

Estrogens are female hormones. If you're a woman, you're flooding your system with a substance it can't handle in surplus. If you're a man, you're suppressing your masculinity and stimulating your "female side," physically and mentally....

Soy is feminizing, and commonly leads to a decrease in the size of the penis, sexual confusion and homosexuality. That's why most of the medical (not socio-spiritual) blame for today's rise in homosexuality must fall upon the rise in soy formula and other soy products.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Pbbbt to all of you Scrooges. I LIKE carollers. I even like being a caroller. I love singing but I am really not any good, so carolling in groups is one of the only places I can rock out with abandon.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

One day, I want to join one of Dickensonian caroling groups that wander the malls.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Those carolers are likely being paid, you realize? I've been doing it since I was 15. Malls are usually better than Christmas parties. It's hard to sing over drunk people.

One year, we were caroling in the French Quarter on Christmas Day, and this woman came up with tears in her eyes to tell us how wonderful we were for doing this out of the goodness of our hearts. I don't remember if we shattered her faith in humanity or not.

Allyson, these are drunk, singing scientists. You know how dangerous that is. Hell, there are even some engineers in the mix. Thank god the drinks are in the computer room, or they'd be setting fire to something.

I'm tempted to follow in their wake and hand them implements of destruction--matches, fire extinguishes, whipped cream and the like.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

carolling in groups is one of the only places I can rock out with abandon.

There is also the shower...

I don't hate carollers--I just hate the Christmas music that's most predominant. Singing about the weather and snowmen? Yuck. Please to sing about the baby Jesus.

Oh yeah. I ain't singing for free.

Unless it's drunken karaoke.

That's why most of the medical (not socio-spiritual) blame for today's rise in homosexuality must fall upon the rise in soy formula and other soy products.

Wouldn't soy products unlesbicize lesbians though?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Wow. Just...wow.

(Not that I'm surprised, coming from WND, but still...)

If they're scientists, they could probably use some liquid nitrogen....
