Fair enough, no need to make light of their situation.

Isn't such a technique required anyway if you're attending a Cold War Kids concert?

Redact - you win this time AJ

"A moment of disorientation" is also how Portia de Rossi describes her first marriage.

Are the BYU Cougars America's Team?

Actually, the 6-minute clip merely contains all of the in-game action from the 2010 season

True, you make a really good point. That would also explain why the school ditched aversion therapy and continues to deny that such activities ever took place, as it would be a massive PR nightmare if they were constantly asked about trying outright rub homosexuality out of existence. Churches in general have been…

I think the reason why they don't ban homosexuality outright is because it's damn difficult to determine what goes on in a student's head, at least not without doing some serious trampling on privacy (even by BYU standards).

You know that one song you dislike when everyone else loves it? That's mine. Don't know why

Hey look, a tumbleweed!

"Stacy's Mom" is one of the most annoying songs I've ever heard. I don't know why, but it still brings up homicidal tendencies when I hear it.
