[size=4]OH BUOY! POPEYE'S GONE GAY; JUICE AD CAUSES STIR[/size=4]
from the DAILY STAR Thu Dec 27 2001 20:06:24 ET

HELLO sailor! Cartoon tough guy Popeye has been outed.

The spinach-guzzling seaman's secret gay affair with arch-rival Bluto is revealed in a controversial new ad. The two sworn enemies are usually depicted fighting for the attention of the lovely Olive Oyl in cartoons and comics.

But in a new ad campaign for orange juice they only have eyes for each other.

Beefy Bluto squeals with joy as he pushes muscle-bound Popeye back and forth on a swing in a children's playground Then the two tough guys lark about on a see-saw before heading off to the beach.

Their new-found affection for each other is sealed when they get the words "Buddies For Life" tattooed on their bulging arms.

Bemused Olive Oyl spots the pair coming towards her on a tandem and tries to catch their attention by striking a sexy pose. But pipe-smoking Popeye and Bluto blank her and ride off into the sunset together.

The ad - by orange juice makers Minute Maid - has outraged moral crusaders in the USA, who claim the cartoon characters are spreading gay propaganda.

Robert Knight, director of the Culture and Family Institute, stormed: "If parents think their children are being targeted by a homosexual campaign, they will switch brands of juice without blinking.

But Cathy Renna from the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation found the new gay icons amusing.

She said: "Gay people are raising their eyebrows and winking along with the ad."

Charles Torrey, Minute Maid's marketing director, said the ad was meant to be fun.

He said: "We're certainly not targeting any one group."

Well, that sure explains a lot of things, now, doesn't it?

Their longstanding fight over what has to be the most incredibly ugly woman on the planet - Olive Oyl!

How can you explain that?

And which one is the actual father of Sweetpea?

Who knows?

Do you know how Popeye keeps his favorite tool from rusting?
He keeps it in Olive Oil !!! [:D]

Wow, I thought that's what Popeye did with a woody - soaked it in olive oil!

Now it appears that Popeye may do something else entirely different when the, er, problem arises!

Eric The(HePokesBlutoWithIt)Hun[>]:)]

Olive Oyl was a MAN.  Check the throat.

Sailors! [rolleyes]
What do you expect?

Post from SJSAMPLE -

This is really beginning to get serious! [>]:)]

As queer as a three-dollar bill...

Just funnin' [:)]

(We DO have our own jets, you know.)

Now what would a sailor do with a Harrier?

Clean it, maybe.
Transport it, perhaps.
Drive it and fight in it?
Nope.

Geez, where's Anita Bryant when you need her?

Which one is the bilge monkey?.......Olive oyl has ammassed a small furtune in the gay-porno distrubution circuit.........[whacko]

You mean the Cajun chickens I ate are gay?....

Private-Murphy!!!!
Yeah, you guys got some jets but you ain't got no "AVIATORS !"

Further there is "scientific proof" that there are exactly 1.0328 gays/100 on active duty with the Air Force while the Navy (Not counting the Marine Corps which has 27.39/100) has only .1377/100.*

These facts are available to everyone !

Are you okay?
Who exactly do you think fly Marine jets and Helocopters, genius?
Is this one of those "remotely piloted aircrafts":

Actually this is a "scientific study" that 5subslr5 conducted, himself.
You see, he would hang out in the mens room of a bar right outside a military base.  
Everytime a Soldier, Sailor, Airman or Marine would walk in to use the bathroom, 5subslr5 would offer them oral pleasure.  After he was through he'd rinse out, and update his study with the new data.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Take it easy guys! I just posted what I thought might be an amusing TGIF thread, not a 'bone of contention' for you folks to fight over.

Now apologize and shake hands, everbody!

{Just make sure everyone's washed their hands, if you know what I mean!)

Eric The(AndIThinkYouDo!)Hun[>]:)]

I thought it was pretty funny, actually.
I'm sorry, 5subslr5.
Iwas just kidding.

Eric,

Am I gay?  Eating those Popeye's chickens?

I'm not Eric, but yes...yes you are. Sorry.

[>Q]

"May it please the court" - Although admittedly Major Murphy has great familiarity with those places where "homosexuals" are alledged to "hang...out"  this in no way should prejudice the officer's of this "Courts Martial"
against Major Murphy.

Now as to his advocacy of pilot-less "Harriers"
"HANG EM !"

I can't understand you.
Did you forget to rinse?

Damn, I just hate to admit I actually didn't recognize that plane as a "Harrier" and therefore a "Marine" plane piloted by some of the world's finest "AVIATORS."  ("THE" finest at ground support if you poll a Marine grunt.)

(My assumption was I was "attacking" one of those
Air Force "pilots.")


Unlike many I do post the source of my statistics.

No hard feelings.
Just having a little fun....[:)]

ditto
(Besides "it" was Hanoi Jane Fonda's fault.)
[:D]

[>:/]

Speaking of, how old is she anyways? Any chance of her kicking the bucket soon?

I believe she JUST turned 64. Maybe she will retire and draw social insecurity next year.

I believe 64 is about right.
This kind of, of, of.....may never die.

But if she does where will she be buried ??
I'm certainly not one to hold a grudge over Ms. Fonda or anyone else.
I just want to know where they bury her so's I can piss on her grave.

Well, whenever you find out give me a call. I'm just across the river and we can make it a road trip![}:)]

You're on !!

I have it from the highest impeachable source that "Spicy" Popeyes chickens are not "gay."
That's why I always eat "spicy."
[:D]

9-12 month stints on ships, no women, "hot" bunking, what do you expect?  

The only other place you find conditions like that are in prisons and... gee wiz... guess what you find there[;D]
