Brokeback Heartbreak: Riots Erupt Over Oscar Snub

Breaking News: Must Cite Jawa Report

By Vinnie

(San Francisco - Jawa Report) They were 5 little words gone largely unnoticed by the vast majority of a nation blissfully unaware that the Academy Awards were even on that night.

"And the Oscar goes to...Crash."

Those five words started a ripple that has turned into a tsunami of rage that is now sweeping the world.

In Paris, militant gays attempted to storm the American Embassy, but were repulsed when a quick thinking Marine guard ran inside and came back to his post in full dress blues, stopping the throng in its tracks, mouths open and tongues lolling.

In London, rampaging mobs chanting "Remember The Crying Game! were beaten back by police employing several well-placed slaps to the face.

In Tehran, a quickly assembled march was just as quickly rounded up, and all participants hung from cranes.

Demonstrations in the United States were largely peaceful, with some exceptions.

In San Francisco, George Fisting, Womyn's Studies Professor at UC Berkeley stirred the crowd with; "We're tired of being the other white meat! We're sick of being a minority within minorities. We're sick of being judged by the content of our character, and not the color of our skin, and we're not gonna take it any more!" The crowd roared its approval.

At the SF demonstration, I noticed a woman with close cropped hair standing by herself, arms crossed, with a bemused look on her face. When I asked her why she didn't join in with the fist pumping fervor of the male-dominated crowd, she replied, "I have no dog in this hunt. After all, 99.9% of the men know that I'm the good gay.

1 At least the San Francisco rioters won't have any guns with which to shoot up the town in their anguish.

3 You damage your credibility by this kind of reporting.... You said: In London, rampaging mobs chanting "Remember The Crying Game! were beaten back by police employing several well-placed slaps to the face. The actual quote from BBC was: In London, rampaging mobs chanting "Remember The Crying Game! were beaten off by police, enjoying several well-placed shots to the face.

4 You annihilated your crediblity by quoting the Beeb. I was there, I saw the lethal sissy-slaps employed by the bobbies. But my digital camera's batteries were dead.

5 Your grasp of satire is as shaky as your grasp of reality... that's why you confuse the two.

10 "London police reported that they were missing 46 new billy clubs after the riots. Inspector Phist said, 'These were brand new clubs. With oiled, knotted leather straps. And ribbed handles. Solid ash, jet finish smooth. about 14 inches long. I just don't understand why the gay rioters would steal the damn things.'"
