Ostensibly it was because Chris and we had a misunderstanding over what constituted “gay stuff” in the PARADEBULATION. We thought he meant referring to the AP as a “gay chiefs site” (which we do so only in the most lovingly facetious manner, hence “T.O.A.P. Parade”). However, he meant anything that could be construed by the lowest of internet trolls as “homophobic.” And then we proceeded to make this Brokeback Mountain joke in the Cowboys PARADEBULATION (if anything it sucks not because it was offensive, just lame and worn out). Oddly, enough commenter reaction didn’t go that way at all and if anything they seized upon the transcendent social libertarian message of the youtube entitled “sex with ducks” that made light of the slippery slope argument opposing gay marriage (which is not a condemnation of the other side of the debate mind you, merely poking fun at hyperbole). But we digress…

Anyway, we suspect the real reason was an overreaction to our accidental re-frontpaging of the PARADEBULATION we did after some editing. Chris has always been a bit skiddish about the PARADE have their finger on the Mainpage button. He’s also very concerned with keeping a squeaky clean image around here and doesn’t want anything too risque (we know, brokeback jokes, look out Frank Calliendo) or trollable looking too official. But considering we’ve wrote for him off an on for like 3 years and have always honored his wishes eventually, there might be a bit of old friend “my toy!” going on there, who knows.

It’s been fun interacting with you anonymous internet weirdos though, we’ll see if we get a goodbye PARADEBULATION. Hope you all enjoy it.

I’m using vista and you know the nightmare that can be along with foxfire with no script, maybe one of the 3 is the problem but it has been on going and I have run out of options as to how to fix it. Only happens when the sprint background is up, after it’s gone AP runs fine.
