ACTRESS: GAY MEN ARE BIOLOGICALLY SUPERIOR
Lisa Kudrow, best known as a dippy blonde star of Friends, recently told an interviewer at PrideSource“€”remember, gays are not only permitted to have group identity and pride, it is celebrated and encouraged”€”that she thinks gay men are “€œsuperhuman”€ for biological reasons:

…I think gay men are superior beings in my mind. I do believe that….It’s all so tricky. I studied biology and the brains are anatomically different. They just are. There’s a stronger connection with the corpus callosum (in gay men). The two sides of the brain communicate better than a straight man’s, and I think that has to be really important. They’re not women”€”they’re still men”€”and women also have thicker corpus callosums, so I think it’s the combination of those qualities that makes them like a superhuman to me.

Kudrow was apparently referencing a 2008 study based on a devastatingly large sample of “€œTwelve homosexual and ten heterosexual healthy young men.”€ Commenters on gay sites applauded Kudrow’s remarks, because it is currently acceptable for all “€œoppressed”€ groups”€”and only designated oppressed groups”€”to make biological arguments for their innate superiority.

A FUROR OVER DER FUHRER
A Swiss retailer is falling all over itself apologizing for the fact that the foil tops on some of its coffee creamers featured a photo of Adolf Hitler. Collecting creamer tops is apparently a hobby in Switzerland akin to stamp collecting. The company recalled all of the Hitler creamers as well as a limited-edition run of creamer tops featuring Benito Mussolini, who still likely twitches in his grave over the fact that Hitler continues to hog the spotlight.

In England, 21-year-old white nationalist Garron Helm has received a four-week jail sentence for a Tweet regarding a Jewish MP. Again and again, press outlets incorrectly accused Helm of “€œsending”€ the Tweet “€œto”€ Labour Party member Luciana Berger, implying that he was directly harassing and threatening her.

But this was not the case. The Tweet in question“€”which has since been removed from Helm’s account“€”refers to Berger as a “€œCommunist Jewess”€ and depicts her with a yellow “€œJude”€ Star of David on her forehead”€”does not directly address her at all. It merely comments on her. Still, Berger referred to the Tweet as a “€œhate crime”€ rather than “€œhate speech.”€ Britain’s Jewish News said this case “€œis believed to be the first time someone has been jailed for anti-Semitic statements made on social media.”€

NEVER SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT BOYS OR GIRLS
PGA of America president Ted Bishop was told to step down on Friday after referring to English pro golfer as a “€œLil Girl”€ on Twitter and “€œa little school girl squealing during recess”€ on Facebook. His name will also be forever erased from the Association’s list of past presidents. Despite groveling and claiming that he has two daughters who “€œhave made their careers in golf”€ and that he has “€œworked with many women to grow the sport,”€ Bishop was given the axe. PGA Vice President Derek Sprague called Bishop’s comments “€œunacceptable,”€ which has emerged as the dominant progressive buzzword for anything that transgresses their escalating sense of cultural prudery. PGA Executive Officer Pete Bevacqua said that his organization strives to “€œmake golf both welcoming and inclusive to all.”€

If they”€™re so concerned about being “€œinclusive,”€ why do they still have separate competitions for men and women? The obvious answer is obviously unacceptable.

During the World Series, people who have nothing better to do than scrutinize videos frame-by-frame and read lips searching for racially charged statements are claiming that San Francisco Giants pitcher Hunter Strickland called Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez “€œboy“€ during an argument. This was immediately blown up into a racial scandal.

Russian Tennis Federation president Shamil Tarpischev has been banned for a year after he referred to black female American champions Venus and Serena Williams as the “€œWilliams brothers”€ and said they were “€œscary”€ looking. Serena Williams called Tarpischev’s comments “€œextremely sexist, racist and bullying”€”€”as well as “€œunacceptable.”€ (Be on the lookout for that latter word”€”it’s suddenly everywhere.)

Let’s all ignore the fact that there was no innate racial content to Tarpischev’s remarks. Let’s also overlook that back in 1997, Williams’s father referred to a Romanian female player as an “€œugly white turkey.”€ The time is nigh when the mere act of noting double standards will not only be “€œhate speech,”€ it will be a “€œhate crime”€ as well. It’s getting to the point where people will be afraid to even speak unless they”€™re speaking to police to report others for speaking.
