Legos: Satan's Plaything?
 Rev. Roy Sowerberry, president and founder of the Family Defense Conference, a national conservative lobbying group, sent shockwaves through the toy industry today with his charge that Legos, the popular plastic building blocks, promote a liberal, homosexual lifestyle due to the multiple ways in which the individual blocks can be connected. The evangelical minister said that the plastic blocks encouraged, "cultural relativism," and weakened family values by teaching children that there is more than one acceptable way for things to fit together.

"It's just like Mike Huckabee said recently," the minister told reporters at his group's headquarters here. "Let me quote him because he put it so well. 'Male and female are biologically compatible to have a relationship. We can get into the ick factor, but the fact is that two men in a relationship, two women in a relationship, biologically, that doesn't work the same.'"

"Mike Huckabee is right," Rev. Sowerberry continued. "God has made it clear how he wants man and woman to fit together. But Legos fit together all kinds of ways: sideways, diagonally, one on top, three on the bottom or the other way around. There's no limit to the ways they stick into each other. What message does that send to children?"

At this point in his remarks, the minister took some of the toy blocks out of his pocket and demonstrated different positions to reporters. Upon questioning, he said the blocks were from his personal collection which he kept for, "research purposes only."

I hope to goodness that this is satire

5. Legos are hermaphroditic.
 Jebus designed them that way so they'd all fit together.

7. One only needs to see their rainbow colors to know Legos ARE the gay agenda.

9. The only reason this is not "real news" is that the religious right is not

10. so much for creativity 
 engineering, design, and keeping sex away from children...   {sarcasm tag}

The OBVIOUS fact these "geniuses" have missed...Legos are designed with a MALE side and a FEMALE side...exactly as all our electrical and electrinic connectors, because ONLY male and female connect correctly.
 

Oh, and the OP was satire...written by another "genius"

Here's the link to the original article. Stooooopid DUmmies don't know satire when they see it.

From the bottom of the original article.

For more Richieville humor, read the comic sci-fi novel, Rate Me Red.

DUmmies take everything WAY too literally.

DUmmies take everything WAY too literally.

It happens when you don't have enough functioning brain cells to compile a sense of humor.

OMG it's always so hilarious when the DUmmies misinterpret satire!  Don't they ever feel foolish enough to maybe gain some smarts?  How many times do you have to be fooled before you learn?

It would NOT surprise me to find that 0bumbler's wife has BOTH genital connectors.

Within the week that post will be quoted as 'fact' and passed around without the link.

That's how the DUmmies roll .... never let facts get in the way of a good story ... that's why we have O'bama as a president.

That almost made me wet myself. The guy who wrote this article has a lock on satire. Marvelous.

Yea, right off the bat, right out of the cage, right off the starting line, *I* knew it was satire and high quality VRWC "influenced" satire at that.
I think I Chris Mathews "tinkled down my leg" upon reading that DUmp tripe...

It was just way beyond anything I could imagine ( but not that I've heard) that I got a pretty good laugh out of it. Who the hell thinks of Lego's being feminine or masculine besides the DUmors??
