Because gays and their gay games will make the world gay.

“ITS ADAM AND EVE NOT ADAM AND STEVE.” Wow, hey, thanks for the heads-up. Well, with copywriting like that, not too hard to figure out where most people fall in the comments section of this story. Hasbro’s classic board game is now a downloadable version with the option for playas to choose male or female spouses. And legions arose to protest.

*yawn* Aren’t we past this shit yet? Apparently not. So read through all the love from World Net Daily minions if you want, but credit here though to Hasbro for not caving in and reacting to the panic. Imagine that. They actually did nothing.

But, this got me thinking, if Life can change it up for the net, what about other classics? Maybe for the online version of Monopoly the banker dude can’t take it anymore and jumps from his penthouse down on Park Avenue. Wait, he’d never do that. He’d go to jail, then get a book deal. But I’m sure you can think of other scenarios for classic games...

(HINT, HINT)

A gay version of Chutes and Ladders would be too obvious. How about a Dyslexic Scrabble? Trplie Wore Scord! A mash-up of Operation and Hungry, Hungry Hippos, with gastric bypass as an option? Or a George Bush version of Battleship, where you ignore your opponent and attack other board games that have nothing to do with you?

I could go on all night. Try the veal....
