And with the one in your headline, Subby, that makes three mis-spellings.
It's spelled 'paedophile' in Britain, and we invented the language.

What a remarkably pathetic attempt. He is a sad, sad man.

He's trying too hard.

He needs a big Nubian boyfriend with double jointed hips to help him see the light.

Wow.. Such bad artwork and silliness.

The sad part is that some of the guy's fiscal ideas aren't that bad, but he is so obssessed with fighting homosexuals and "liberal good ol' boys"(?!?!) that I could never take him seriously and vote for him (if he were in my district).

So...even though he's being tried for fraud, we should re-elect him because he hates teh gheys?

I happen to be at the county court house one day when this asshat was holding a press conference. His whole persona just screams slimeball. He's the kind of guy that if you shook his hand you would wipe your hand on your pants without even realizing you did it.

Yes, and it took Americans to make it comprehensible and standardized...

Dearest Sir:

We write you with mixed emotions.

Firstly, our lawyers have asked that we request that you cease and desist in using the moniker "pedifile" (trademarked), especially in a negative light, as my company currently uses it as a name for what is now the 12th best selling podiatry tool in America - (look out Dr. Shoals!) -our foot scraper product the Pedifile. We previously marketed as Numberoneson-Fun-Bunion-AIDS (trademark allowed to lapse).

We are currently hosting a contest to rename the Pedi File. Perhaps you and your friends would like to enter? You could draw something even. There will be prizes.

Secondly, your comic book and notoriety and hot-headed blatherings have convinced our marketing department to develop and pitch a new product called "Callous-Attack!" We envision you as our spokesman and poster boy. They call me crazy but ask yourself did anyone ever hear of orange juice before Anita Bryant told them it existed? I THINK NOT!

We envisions an episodic commercial each starting innocently enough with some exchanged mens room footsie ending not in the predictable "glory hole" madness one associates with someone so monomaniacal about homosexuality that they would take the time to self-publish a comic book about it but rather a playful under stall "foot buffing" that ends with smooth skin, silky soles, and mutual respect. A young lad could pop out of a urinal and say "I like it too!"

Enclosed is one complimentary PediFile (trademarked). Use it in good health. We look forward to your reply.

Brent will have more than a few functional adults voting for him - "GET USE TO IT" (as it's spelled in the comic).

I suspect those two concepts are oxymoronic.

For comparison:


Sin City


Doom Town (Actually pretty good artwork in this one)


The Gay Blade


The Gay Blade
was also one of the more entertaining Zorro movies. A series of extremely silly jokes regarding sexual orientation without really being mean-spirited about it.

Also, claiming that lambda is a gay symbol is possibly the funniest thing I've seen in one of those tracts (hadn't seen that one before). You should all avoid set theory or electromagnetics or you might catch the AIDS!!!

Actually, there are many organizations that use the symbol to indicate their affiliation with gays and lesbians. More info here. (safe page, new window)

The Gay Blade is still one of my favorite films ever!

BTW... the Lambda symbol is used a great deal in the LGBT Community.

Well, he is being indicted on felony charges, so that's not outside of the realm of possibility.

I just got off the phone with Satan and he wants to know why these guys are queering him out. God made these guys fudge packers, not Satan. All Satan does is tempt the rest of us to laugh at them. Which is wrong, I know but teh guy on guy buttsecks is just too funny.

Until I'm finally sent to prison for something.

He'll win, too, because Oklahoma is home to some of the dumbest, most bigoted people in America.

This is the state that elected Tom Coburn to the Senate. They proudly hate fags.

From the comments: "He's no Jack Chick." That pretty well sums it up.
