Legalise it!



You may have heard that Google recently announced they are starting a world wide gay human rights campaign called Legalise Love.  Who do they think they are?  Don’t they know that we US Americans spell it “legalize”?  I suppose to celebrate the launch they will all hop in a lorry and drive down the motorway to buy a bag of Girl Scout biscuits and celebrate the absence of zeds.  I hope they get a flat tyre! Arses!

As you probably guessed, some others are also mad at Google, but for an entirely more obvious reason: They are idiots.  Earlier this week one of the American Family Association’s radio hosts brought up the campaign and discussed how the AFA has boycotted other companies who support LGBT rights and that it would be tough to add Google to the list.  He wasn’t kidding about the boycotts.  According to the must reliable source in the world, Wikipedia, they have already boycotted 7-Eleven, Abercrombie & Fitch, American Airlines, American Girl, Blockbuster Video, Burger King, Calvin Klein, Carl's Jr., Clorox, Comcast, Crest, Ford, Hallmark Cards, Kmart, Kraft Foods, S. C. Johnson & Son, Movie Gallery, Microsoft, MTV, Mary Kay, NutriSystem, Old Navy, IKEA, Sears, Pampers, Procter & Gamble, Target, Tide, Walt Disney Company, and PepsiCo.

Man, those folks spend a lot of time boycotting.  They must be effective.  Look what happened to Blockbuster and Movie Gallery. Right out of business. They did acknowledge that it will probably be a little harder to avoid Google, though.  Between search, Gmail, Android phones, YouTube, Kindle (powered by Android), and orkut.com, Google is hard to avoid.  I recommend the AFA start their boycott with Google+ and immediately claim victory.

I wonder when they will realize they are on the wrong side of history?  It won’t be too many years down the road when we all look back at this time and wonder why anyone would try to deny people their rights.  If these people channeled their energy into something positive instead of pointlessly boycotting everything we would all be better off.  Until then I wish them bad luck on finding anything online.
