It's 'Homo Light' - the gay softdrink
news.com.au ^ | 07/12/2005 | From correspondents in Oslo

Posted on 07/11/2005 9:37:07 PM PDT by Responsibility1st

NORWEGIAN homosexuals are set to launch their own soda brand, "Homo light", at an upcoming gastronomic festival, in the hope that it will help promote tolerance, one of the authors of the project said.

"The goal is not for us to make money but to make us more visible and accepted," Oeystein Mauritzen told AFP. Pear-flavored and pink, "Homo Light" will go on sale as a one-time offer at a stand at a gastronomic festival in the southwestern town of Stavanger between July 27 and 30.

Along with the soda, which will be sold in half-litre (about a pint) bottles for 20 kroner ($4.70), the group will sell rainbow-colored pasta salads.

Norway, which has allowed homosexuals to form marriage-like partnerships since 1993, is one of the world's most liberal countries when it comes to gay rights.

The current coalition government ironically combines Prime Minister Kjell Magne Bondevik, a Lutheran minister of the Christian Democratic Party who has come out against the partnership law, and openly gay Finance Minister Per-Kristian Foss of the Conservative Party.

Homo light

Does that mean it has half the calories of a regular homo?

They already did about 15 years ago. Adam Sandler and Chris Farley did an ad for a beer called "Schmitz Gay."

Yeah, the beer bottle would probably be shaped like a penis.

Seriously, with all the hot Scandinavian Norweigan women there, why would any man want to be gay?

To save the Earth from wasting precious rubber & latex resources, all cans & bottles will be shaped like certain...ahem..."devices".

A portion of the sales will go towards further destroying the Boy Scouts of America

To properly open the can or bottle, you must first jerk it back & forth in a rapid, repetitive motion.

Look forward to additional flavors representing all the colors of the rainbow...

Next up on the menu, special hot dogs served with a special...uhhh...I better not go there. Yechhh...

It probably tastes just like poop - literally. I wouldn't touch it without disinfecting my hands afterwords.
