Clearly!

OT: Speaking of AppFail:
"Is My Son Gay?"

D:

Now that I've come out of a truly EPIC cringe:

My Twenty-Question App:
1. Did your son start shaving before the age of 10?
2. Does he watch Fox News?
3. Is his IQ comfortably lower than room temperature?
4. Fahrenheit or Celcius?
5. Does he like any and all sports involving bodily injury?
6. When he was growing up, did he ever bring home the body parts of smaller, weaker kids as gifts to you?
7. Why not?
8. Didn’t you praise him enough when he did?
9. How many bimbos can he shag in a single night of drunken boyish fun?
10. Does he know how to use a condom?
11. Does he read the sports section of the newspaper?
12. Trick question. Does he look at the pictures?
13. Can he do any math problem not involving sports statistics?
14. Can he actually find the washing machine?
15. How much cheap booze can he put away before you’re actually certain he’s no longer conscious in any meaningful sense of the word?
16. How many illegitimate children has he sired so far?
17. Are you sure they’re his?
18. When his current girlfriend opens her yap, can you count on him to smack her around properly?
19. If not, will your husband please demonstrate again?
20. Aren’t you proud?

I do believe you've skewered cultural stereotypes of masculine behavior far more humorously than the app developer ever could.

Gah. The app developer thinks it was funny? Maybe someone could point out how the first thinly veiled death threat appears less than half a dozen comments into the comment thread on the story.

OTOH, nobody from Mississippi has appeared here yet to complain about how badly I'm misrepresenting them. ;-)

I shall now retreat to my Smug Bastion of Gay Nerditude and throw rainbow stock options at the troglodytes.

Ha! Troglodytes deserve as many rainbows as you can toss, including any residing in Mississippi.

omg why did I click on the comments section to that article? ouch wtf

That's exactly what I thought. And I'm can't have booze again yet, so no drowning the memory urk.

Unless I un-check the "Repost to Twitter" box under LJ's Reply box (which I can only see when I switch the LOLMac layout to "Style=mine"), all my replies are auto-Tweeted with the subject line OR the first 121 characters of my reply + 1 space + an 18-character shortened URL.

I sometimes forget that there's so much violent hatred & homophobia in the world (and online) because I live in a comfortable bubble of friends who share the same beliefs & morés.

Maybe I'm confused -- I thought you went back after each daily auto-post has autoposted to LJ, and renamed the roundup post from 'My Tweets' to some suitably pithy or wordy item from the day's list. I was more than half expecting to see 'Smug bastion of nerditude' and/or 'Rainbow stock options for troglodytes' turn up in that context. That's all.

No, I'm the confused one who mistook "tweet entries" to mean actual Tweets instead of "LJ auto-Tweet logs" -- which I *do* need to go back & edit now that LJ has finally fixed the worst bugs in their RTE & HTML interface that were preventing me from doing so.

Maybe the app should've been titled "Gay Inside Jokes in French Lost in Translation"?

UPDATE: Google caves to pressure, removes "Is My Son Gay?" app which was commissioned as publicity for an upcoming book with the same title:
