You should've been standing in the background saying "yeah" to every comment going back and forth. And you didn’t try to stoke the fire further?

HOLIDAY argument! You wrote the forbidden work, Xmas! :-P Btw, technically you mentioned a "Russian accent" and a "gay accent". So like Peter said, it wasn't the involvement of the gay people, it was the words, "gay accent". Which by the way is a much funnier story to listen to when Jon says it, vs. writing it. You need the voices that Jon does for the full impact. Audio blog perhaps? Holiday argument! HOLIDAY argument! You wrote the forbidden work, Xmas! :-P

Although the more "PC" (however retarded politcal correctness may be) word may have been homosexual, I don't think any of your readership would have a problem with the word "gay" You could have used a plethora of euphemisms to describe them, but simply put, you got the point across. How I would pay to see a video of that. Too bad you didn't have a video camera handy. I don’t think it’s off limits.

It was the implication that there is a "gay-person" accent that did it... Or perhaps I'm just ashamed at myself for thinking it was funny...
