Macbook Pro: The New Way to 'Cure' Your Kid's Homosexuality

[romantico]

I'm not totally convinced this is real,but it would not surprise me if it were.


A listing (since flagged) on Craigslist LA:

"I am selling my son's Macbook pro 15 inch. He found out that there is going to be a new Macbook so I will be buying that for him. I bought it last summer so it isn't even a year old yet. It is on pretty decent shape. I am pretty firm on the price.

"Just a footnote. I don't want to get a ton of messages from you guys saying that I am spoiling my son and turning him into an entitled monster. There is a backstory that you aren't even aware of. My son was committing homosexual acts and got caught in the act. We made a deal that if he chose to be straight, that we would buy him more nice things. So don't message me saying that I am a bad parent for spoiling him. It's quite the opposite, I am a good parent and I'm working with him to correct his problem."

If that's true, that's one smart 15 year old queer kid. If my parents were that stupid, I'd milk it for all it's worth, too!

Jordan, you were milking it for all it's worth at 15 whether your parents were stupid or not.

It has to be a parody post. I'm surprised it's going viral.

I wish my daddy would buy me a mac.

Hoax! In today's crazy anti gay climate, one can never be too sure.

Gee, I didn't see that twist coming.

Oh wait, yes I did. How come so many other people didn't?

Well, like I said it could have easily been proven true. We have now on a week to week basis numerous examples of homophobia all over the world. Politicians,Parents, ministers,teachers, Employers, you name it. A parent bribing their kid to be straight in today's ugly climate is very plausible.
