Kinda overly concerned about their sexual orientation, aren't you?? People secure in their own sexuality usually don't bother worrying about that of others.....

Wow...not only is it not funny, they're stupid:

The song says "He's playing croquet..." and the animation says:

"He's playing crokait..."

That is hilarious!

Ok, now I have a question: Why is the "g" word (i.e., gay) unacceptable at AnandTech? That makes little to no (ok, actually just no) sense. Gay is not a derogatory word and is openly used by homosexuals to refer to their sexual orientation (and is the preferred term for male homosexuals, I believe). Plus, the post refers specifically to the title of the song linked which is a humorous parody mocking the sexual orientation of a "boy band" whose primary fan base is teenage girls, which gives it an ironic theme as well. I don't see how this is derogatory to homosexuals, and I would venture a guess that more than a few gay men wish some or all of the Backstreet Boys were indeed gay.

Ah, you have to love the PC world we live in. Lighten up -- you'll live longer. On second thought...

Some of you guys are way too sensitive.
