Could this be the end of "That's So Gay"?
 

The Ad Council, the folks who brought us such memorable expressions as "A mind is a terrible thing to waste", "Friends don’t let friends drive drunk", and "Only you can prevent forest fires" has just rolled out a new campaign. This one hopes to put an end to the expression "That's so gay" when used to describe something that's bad or undesirable.

While I know many LoTters use this invective, including some of The Gay ones, I despise its use I applaud the Ad Council for their efforts. I don't know how effective it will be, but it's sure nice to see some folks taking a stand against it.

http://thinkb4youspeak.com/ has copies of their TV spots. Do you think the "kids" will respond well to Hillary Duff, Wanda Sykes, and the woman in the third spot whose face I didn't recognize?

I applaud the fact that they see it as a problem.
I do, too.
Good for them.
:)

It bothers me. As does "That's so retarded".

... Just as long as I can still referr to "Short Bus Moments"... ;)

I agree with the impulse, but I think the expression should be reclassified for use in describing such things as putting a small pick-up body on oversized tires, tattoos and mixed martial arts.

People actually put a small pick-up body on tattoos? That is very weird!

I'm going to write the Ad Council and GLSEN a letter and thank them. I would print it out on my perfumed stationery but that's so gay.

Haha yah, I pretty much use the phrase "that's so gay" to describe something GAY, like going to a Cher concert, celebrating Bette Davis' birthday, or being a Disney geek ;)

Am I gay?

That depends on if you mean "gay" as in "lame" or "gay" as in "homosexual". Because you're not a homosexual.
