There is a lot of gay in that headline. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

 
thenateman 2008-11-23 07:28:33 PM  
That's a whole lot of arguing.

 
robbiedo 2008-11-23 07:29:49 PM  
I can't really argue with that headline, Subby. However, clothing seems a bit more practical.

I'm just thinking sunburn is a serious issue here.

Well, I'm sure that's how the Indians did it.

I'm sure they applied plenty of lotion to each other.

I just hope the Butt Pirates don't board them?

 
OscarTamerz 2008-11-23 07:49:47 PM  
I don't think they'll be mistaken for pirates. Well, maybe butt pirates but that probably won't be a mistake. And why did they choose the Indian ocean, was the cop ocean or the construction worker ocean too crowded with butt pirates already?

Not link fail. It finally opened. Yes, those Australians are nothing if they are not adventurous. I admire that they are doing it for charity and fame, and nuts though it may seem, I repeat that you cannot say that they are not adventurous. Take extra extra sunblock, mates!

Without suntan lotion, they'll look like gay lobsters.

They're gonna get sunburn on their special purposes.

TheGreatGazoo 2008-11-23 09:20:32 PM  
They are going to need £10,000 of sunscreen or they will be in deep trouble.

At least they can use the spray on type, though it stings on sensitive skin.

 
PeterMarcus 2008-11-23 09:25:16 PM  
They have a sponsorship page, with paypal:

Link (pop, pop, wot, wot)

I gave 'em 10 quid (and I'm American, so that's probably $170 these days).

I figure if they actually get enough to start, it'll be worth another 5-10 Fark headlines.

 
hudef 2008-11-23 09:49:52 PM  
I wish them ill. If I could give a negative donation, I would give a big one.

It's a pet peeve of mine when people engage is worthless attention whoring activities that waste thousands of dollars and man hours and then "ennoble" the venture by clothing it in the "raising money for blind orphans with terminal cancer fundraiser" cause.

This stunt will have a darwinian conclusion.

Gay?

 
apteryx 2008-11-24 11:36:53 AM  
Ever hear of salt water sores? Sitting (the best position for rowing) on a surface wet with salt water causes skin ulcers. Doing it wearing salt water wet clothing makes them worse. The only cure is drying the skin and applying waterproof salve.

Most solo sailors, or couples, spend most of their time nude for this reason weather permitting.

But, feel free to make with the gay jokes. They are funny, if ignorant. (This is Fark, after all)

Somehow, I'm guessing this isn't an exercise in skin ulcer awareness/prevention. I see it as a couple of socially conscience gay guys with too much money and time on their hands.

I do have to hand it to them. This is the most original excuse to corn hole across the Indian Ocean that I've ever heard of. The positive press they are getting is just the cherry on the mud pie.
