Vince McMahon angers the GLAAD

While caught up in the D-Generation X promo's on Monday Night Raw, Vince McMahon mentioned that the masks the Cirque du Soleil were wearing were; "Really Gay". The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), were upset, and have posted a complaint on their blog.

Here are some "Highlights":

• "McMahon here wasn't implying the performers were gay, however, he used the term in a derogatory manner. It's just another example of how people throw around the word "gay" derisively."
• "This came from the leader of a $500 million-plus organization who holds a lot of power in what he says and what he does."
• "WWE programming reaches 16 million viewers each week. McMahon needs to understand that the words he uses and how he uses them can greatly affect people's lives."

   Soon we will have to speak another language because every word will be offensive

   He could have meant it as showing or characterized by cheerfulness and lighthearted excitement; merry.
   
   GLADD should take note of this.

   Dear GLAAD,
   
   While I am straight, I do support your message.
   
   But for f's sake, pick your battles wiser. Vince doesn't care about what you think. Remember Billy and Chuck?

   I hardly do comments, but this I had to comment.
   
   Well, I hope you all remember when John Morrison was about to fight Edge on a SD! episode. He started making fun of Canadian's "accents" (which everyone who is smart knows doesn't exits). I surely got offended, but I am still a Morrison fan, but it is not like I torched McMahon's house when that happened. GLAAD needs to calm down. I'm not gonna start insulting anyone, surely older TWG members (From late 2008) know I like freedom of opinion, but my opinion is that they need to calm down.

   Any white person that is offended by honkey or cracker nowadays needs to have railroad spike driven through their head. So you can knock those two off the list.

    I agree with "no more cena" (epic name btw) about them needing to harden up. Again, no pun intended.

    After all, a wise man once said "Sticks and stones may break my bones but my balls are indestructible." GLAAD's headquarters should be torched.
