The link below the Birdman jpg is a riot.  These folks must be real stupid.  Then they tried to bring race into it, but race is not the issue.  Their stupidity is!  Pie all over their faces!

"It puts ideas in people's heads," Dunham said. "We don't need any more creative weapons than there are."

Yeah....don't think or anything.  Please.  Oh, and don't try any of those neat ideas in real life, cuz we'll come and burn your house down by mistake.  Who knew CS gas turned deadly in a flame?

Hoo-boy, the guy who was so stupid he didn't get the joke is the head of the Richmond PD detectives division. Memo to self: If you ever decide to murder someone make sure the 2 of you take a trip to Richmond first.[;)]

This is the kind of ignorance we're up against... how can you NOT tell that this is a gag?

People are just stupid.

Man, that's even funnier than the original web page, and the original web page was hilarious.

"Bill Dunham, agent in charge of the Richmond office of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, said his agency has been familiar with the Birdman site for some time. He said it's believed to be a satire, in part because it doesn't give prices or any opportunity to buy weapons."

The boy is as sharp as a tack, I tell you. Pretty soon he's going to figure out that _The Onion_ is satire because Bill Gates didn't really get a patent on ones and zeros.

Morons. The councilman, the police captain, the agent, especially the agent. Dunham's on a really "special" assignment, here don't you think? Did he make somebody higher up mad enough that they decided to allow him to make an idiot out of himself and his agency with the press? "We think it's fake, but to tell you the truth, I'm not so sure. I think they might be doing this kind of stuff. It's a bit distubing. Don't like, be creative or nothin', we got our hands full now. Can't let anybody get ahead of us."

Hey, if they don't need any more creative weapons, they need to send all of the FN P89's to me. They're WAY too innovative for these simple folk. They might hurt themselves...[rolleyes]

And then there's LouGassi.

Before realizing the HoMeBoY apparently isn't an actual product, Loupassi, chairman of the Public Safety Committee, was outraged.

"I believe that is indefensible, and I'm part of the pro-gun lobby," he told a reporter.

Yeah, right. Sure you are.

But he added, "I don't see the humor in it, because I've seen so many people die because of guns."

Like people who die of cars and bikes and choking? Hey, maybe this ad will be the one that finally convinces young ghetto punks of any race to use night sights to shoot people! Wouldn't that be a tragedy if this was the ad that helped them figure out what sights, especially, night sights are for.

These people are off the deep end. They are beyond the point of no return. I'm sending them the link to [url]www.dhmo.org[/url]. Let's see how worked up they can get about that.

Bill Dunham, agent in charge of the Richmond office of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, said his agency has been familiar with the Birdman site for some time. He said it's believed to be a satire, in part because it doesn't give prices or any opportunity to buy weapons.

He said some of the weapons described could not be made legally. He also found the site's high number of "hits" - more than 100,000 in the past year - a bit disturbing.

He's disturbed because of 100,000 hits.  Doesn't he realize that none of those hits were seriously looking for those night sites, that everyone knew it was a joke and just wanted a chuckle.  He's disturbed alright!

Paul F. Jannuzzo, vice president and general counsel for Glock Inc. in Smyrna, Ga., said the company has been aware of the HoMeBoY. He said he sent a letter to Birdman a while back, asking that the company's name no longer be used.

"This is the first we've heard of anyone taking this seriously," he said. "I can't believe a police officer would look at that and not know it wasn't real. They've been watching too many movies."

holy moly - what a bunch of idiots!  just a very vivid reminder that this 'community' that we 'belong' to here is a very very small one with views 'foreign' to 'outsiders'.  even though we disagree on some stuff - we are used to seeing and talking our hobbies.

outsiders - even supposed 'pro gunners' wig out (makes you wonder what gun and what pro?).

 they said the gun show was close to blacks?  what a joke - geez, man are there not blacks everywhere?  for me personally - when i saw the gag-ad, i thought of hispanic gang-bangers.  god forbid that there were any individuals of hispanic descent within a 10 mile radius of the gun show!

what a joke!

Did you just laugh yourself silly during the gathering of quotes and
comments for this article?  I was laughing the whole time I read your
article.  I can't believe how dumb civic leaders can be, or the
lengths they will go to be absolutely absurd.  Do they know they are
the new laughing stock for us in cyber world?


Best Regards,

PS- Where can I get me some of those HomeyBoy NS?  Hee-Hee! :-)



Glad you enjoyed the story. It was a fun one to write. For some reason, a few readers are criticizing the newspaper along with the officials.
