Argh.

Via [livejournal.com profile] kobold, pastor wants to take over Microsoft to combat the homosexual agenda:

[Ken Hutcherson] rejects comparisons between the black civil rights movement and calls for gay rights... "I've never seen an ex-black. Michael Jackson couldn't even achieve that. But I've seen ex-gays."

FWIW, Ken Hutcherson is a black guy who grew up in Alabama, and I'm a white guy who's spent most of his life in Australia. So if I'm familiar with the term 'passing', *he* damn well ought to be.

[livejournal.com profile] mouser in [livejournal.com profile] flemco's journal had the best one-line link/response: Maybe he should start with something a LITTLE smaller." Unless all of his 3500 supporters are multimillionaires, I'll just laugh and keep laughing.

Mr Hutcherson, 55, is asking millions of evangelical activists, as well as Orthodox Jewish and other allies, to buy up Microsoft shares and demand a return to traditional values.

Traditional values, huh? My, my, what short memories some people have...

I'd laugh if I were Bill Gates, as they'll probably buy too few shares to actually define company policy, but enough to make the share value increase. Bo-nan-za!

Well, I'm gonna suggest he does scissor jumps until he, like, passes *out*.
