I first read this around midnight last night, so I hoped I was dreaming. In the light of day, I was waiting for some sort of Onion-funded "Candid Camera" to point and laugh at bloggers everywhere for believing this. Sadly, no dream, no OnionCam. Just our tax dollars being all that they can be. Once I saw that even the BBC had reported on the "Gay Bomb," I lost all hope in humanity.

The story: "The plan for a so-called 'love bomb' envisaged an aphrodisiac chemical that would provoke widespread homosexual behaviour among troops, causing what the military called a 'distasteful but completely non-lethal' blow to morale."

How am I supposed to write about this? What am I supposed to say? I can only comment on something so unintentionally comical with real comedy. Only the Brits can supply that.

Lethal blow, people.
