@ Macadamia,
It really is. When I first saw that movie a few years back I thought to myself, “wow, this movie actually seems to be dogmatic.” I mean with the continued decline and general disinterest in education and the growing mountains of landfills, some of which are the size of cities, we will soon be facing a future with garbage piling up in cities and a population too dumb to function as a society anymore.

MySpace, FaceBook, Twitter…when will it all end. Between ridiculous “social media” and reality shows I am really starting to believe that the movie Idiocracy wasn’t fiction at all and rather as prophetic look into our country’s future!

The “No Homo” thing started out as a hip-hop thing a few years ago, primarily among Cam’ron and his ilk kinda as a joke in the “that’s what she said” vein. It’s a pretty common piece of slang, among different sub-cultures as well.
Search “No Homo” on youtube and you’ll kinda get an explanation.
Sure, at it’s core it’s homophobic, but to act like Gerald McCoy is a raging bigot or something is a bit much.

I am repeatedly amused by folks who tell us they think twitter is silly by POSTING COMMENTS ON A BLOG. Pot, meet kettle.

Twitter is so stupid. For athletes its fine, I mean anything they can do to make people pay more attention to them, ok I get it.
If you are just some schlub working and tweeting like anyone cares that you just posted, “getting paid minimum wage sux, just grabbed a hotdog”.

“I’m tweeting ain’t nobody gone stop me from being me. I don’t do anything wrong or stupid!! So I’m back!!”
Our long national nightmare is over. Some idiot with nothing to say is tweeting again.

Isn’t tweeting a gay thing? I mean, if I saw one of my buddies tweeting, I’d say, “Dude, you’re gay”. And he’d say “I know”.

I think the real issue was when he posted this:
“Day 4 down. Now its time to go get faded for memorial day! “

Nobody who tweets can claim “I don’t do anything wrong or stupid” with a straight face.

Ridiculous. I say “no homo” all the time. The phrase goes way back. A lot of gays and lesbians I know don’t take offense to the word, when it isn’t directed at them. People too touchy about WORDS these days. No bad words, just the context in which you use them.
“I love you man, no homo” is not the same as “get away from me, homo.” period.

So this guy would rather tweet than obey the wishes of a team that is paying him millions of dollars?

So basically he was told to stop or watch himself by the Bucs when it comes to his teenage girl twitter hobby and he’s already giving them the middle finger before he signs his first contract. The concern was that he did have character issues. Bucs thought they could change that….so far, not working.

Frankly, this No Homo thing is getting annoying. If any one has heard Run This Town by Jaz-Z, he says it in the song. People are joking around, maybe the higher powers should loosen up a bit.

That’s ridiculous GK is one of the nicest and most sincere athletes out there. Let him tweet whatever he wants. Trust me you wont find a reporter or fan that has a negative opinion of him here in Oklahoma. If more athletes conducted themselves the way he does, things like the Turd Watch wouldn’t be necessary.

Doesn’t matter what this loser says. The Bucs will still only win about 2 games this coming season. What a horrible football organization they have in Tampa.

Because, of course, Mama Tried, being a homo is a bad thing, right? Surely you use all the other slurs out there, don’t ya?
Good grief. How many inbreds post on this board? Gives me a headache.

Maybe he deleted it because….yes homo? I think Bucs is just a made up word for butt and f**ks.
