Title: Own it!
Post by: iago on November 05, 2010, 12:26:38 AM
Not really work safe: http://www.tynanfox.com/the-fox-den/2010/10/own-it.html

It's basically a short blog post about somebody who wrote "FAG" on the window of a gay-owned business. Rather than taking it negatively, they decided to offer a 15% discount for anybody who takes a picture in front of it. It's a form of Reappropriation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reclaimed_word), and I find it hilarious. :)

Well.  Dressing like that, does he expect positive responses?

I'll agree that's a bit much though.  Some people are just ridiculous.

*shrug* whatever turns you on. I'm definitely not into latex or anything like that, but some people are.

I like how whoever wrote FAG on the window, did so in neat almost artistic handwriting.  Maybe it's just my crappy handwriting, but if I were to do the same thing, I don't think it'd look as photogenic :(.

Anyways, that guy has some nice abs.  Shit, wish I had abs like that... then maybe I'd get more ladies :(.

Coincidentally, his next blog post is about the workout he's doing to work on his abs:
