Fagburn: A Few Brief Words To Those Among My Fellow Gay Men Who Think Boycotting Barilla Pasta Is As Heroic And Important A Struggle As That Of The 25 Million Russians Who Died To Defeat Nazi Germany And Help End The Systematic Extermination Of The Entire Jewish Population Of Europe

An actual meme masquerading as political critique today

Power laughs while it kicks your ass,
while they distracted you into thinking some stupid pasta boycott
about having some token fag in some stupid fucking TV ad
really meant something meaningful,
when it meant nothing but your acceptance
of their attempts to depoliticise your culture.

Shut up and eat up the nicer pasta, boys!

Wipe your chin, tuck your shirt in,
Go home.

They've won.

    This was adapted from a few lines I wrote in despair after reading comments left after a Queerty story - even though Guido had issued several apologies and just met with Italian LGBT campaigners, any said this new great satan can NEVER be forgiven and congratulated them on how they'd continue buying other brands of spaghetti.

    I just read those Queerty comments. Fucking hell, there's some morons and dangerous fantasists on that site. More a danger to themselves, I imagine.
    I don't read Queerty much now. And certainly not the comments. That way lies despair...

    is this the story where the pasta man says "those gays can eat some other brand of pasta" and the gays say "lets buy a different brand of pasta"?
