Columnist’s solution to gay sex in parks? Attack dogs
August 10, 2009 at 10:35 am by Thomas Wheatley in NewsSyndicated columnist and curmudgeon Dick Yarbrough offered a unique solution this weekend to curb public sex in two Cobb County parks well-known for cruising:
“With a little instruction, dogs could be taught to severely dislike the gay lovers in Burruss and Wildwood [Parks] and bite them in the fanny and do what City Council should have done years ago – chase them off to Atlanta where they belong. Assuming that works, we will then tell the canines that cell phone users are really just possums with bad attitudes. The dogs will take it from there and then maybe the rest of us can have a little peace and quiet in Glover Park.”
Wow, this column serves to raise, like, so many interesting questions. How would we train these hounds to “severely dislike the gay lovers?” And “chase them off to Atlanta where they belong?” Hmm, not too clear on what you mean by that, but OK! Another: Why is Dick Yarbrough paid to write this stuff?

I’ll be happy to trade them our teabaggers for their parkfuckers.

We all know that I-285 is a homoseckstualist moat to contain the pink menace. We will not be satisfied, though, until all of Cobb County is fabulously queer. Our battle hymns are written by the Pet Shop Boys, though I personally prefer Boys Keep Swinging.

Wow that’s F’d up on many levels.
That’s up there with some of the hate Don Farmer is serving up in the Dunwoody Crier.

small excerpt:
“My guess is, the power trip troika – Frank, Obama and Pelosi, FOP for short – would impose very different regulations to advance their visionary agenda, such as:”
“Illegal aliens also would be exempt because we know they send most of their money back to their third world relatives anyway. ”
Dang Liberal Media!!!!!!

Published in Marietta, the city that hung an innocent man a few years ago.
Good to see hatred, bigotry, stupidity are still alive and well.
And Georgians wonder why people from other parts of the US think they are backwards pig f&^%$*s!

Yarbrough was in charge of relations with the international press corps for the 1996 Olympics. (In my experience, the games were terrific, but you wouldn’t know it from much of the coverage.) Do you need to know anything else about him?

“Freedom” is and always will be relative. No-one has the freedom to expose other people to a display so offensive the perpetrators have to hide out in the woods and pack dung like dogs–if the act is no-big-deal: do it at home! Of course, showing their shi*-packing skills to a park full of strangers is preferable to letting their straight significant others watch all the action–nah, just keep that little bit of information secret, except for the families and their kids in the park (”Look Honey: live gay porn–bring little Charlie over to watch the show!”).

Um…. While I think training attack dogs to bite gay guys is a little extreme (a little too 1940s Germany there), I DO think that everyone should be able to enjoy public parks without stumbling upon people engaging in various sexual acts, gay or straight. As one wise man once said “Get a room”! I don’t care what one dude does with another dude, just don’t do it in the park! I’d get in trouble for having sex with my girlfriend in the park – so should the gay guys.

Why is Dick Yarbrough paid to write this stuff? Easy, his employers are idiots.
