TEXAS GOVERNOR RICK PERRY ADMITS HE HAS THE HOMOSEXUAL GENES

June 14, 2014 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

San Francisco, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Texas Governor and former presidential candidate Rick Perry has just endeared himself to the homosexual community.

In a speech before members of the Commonweath Club of California, Perry admitted that in the same way he has the genetic makeup to become an alcoholic, he also has the genes to become a latent homosexual. Perry’s comments all but confirm his belief that the gay lifestyle is not a choice.

“I (may) have the genetic coding (that I’m inclined) to be an alcoholic, ~~but~~ (and) I have the desire ~~not~~ to do that, and I look at the homosexual issue the same way,” Perry said in his San Francisco speech. The governor however refused to reveal a timeline in which he will act upon his gay genes.

The Log Cabin Republicans, the lgbt group within the GOP, immediately praised Perry and vowed to fully endorse his candidacy should he decide again to run for president in 2016.

The San Francisco Pride Committee convened an emergency meeting last night and unanimously voted to make Perry an honorary grand marshall at this month’s pride parade and celebration.

SHAMED BY FIFA’S WORLD CUP: BASEBALL’S ‘WORLD SERIES’ TO BE RENAMED ‘AMERICAN SERIES’

June 13, 2014 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

New York, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) – The World Series is the annual championship series of Major League Baseball (MLB) played since 1903 between the American League (AL) and National League (NL) team champions. A total of 109 series have been contested, with AL winning 63 and NL winning 46. The winner of the World Series championship is determined through a best-of-seven playoff in the fall.

But people have always wondered why it is called ‘World Series’ since it only involves American teams — all U.S.-based except for the Toronto (Canada) Jays.

In contrast, the FIFA World Cup, often simply called the World Cup, is an international association football competition contested by senior men’s national teams of the members of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association, the sport’s global governing body. The championship has been awarded every four years since the inaugural tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946 when it was not held because of the Second World War. A total of 32 teams from all over the world compete for the much-coveted title.

Facing continued criticism for being “elitist, arrogant and colonialist” both the AL and NL have finally agreed today in New York to put the label “World Series” to rest. Beginning with the 2014 season, the playoffs will be called “The American Series” to better reflect the teams participating in the tournament.

As expected, the Toronto Jays protested the move, proposing instead that the tournament be called “The North American Series.” The proposal was, of course, overruled by the arrogant representatives of the U.S-based teams. Because of this, the Jays have threatened to boycott the 2014 World Series , errr… The American Series.

The current title is held by the Boston Red Sox.

SALINE SHORTAGE IN U.S. CAUSES PANDEMONIUM AMONG CONTACT LENS USERS

June 13, 2014 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

San Francisco, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Hospitals across the country are struggling to deal with a shortage of one of their essential medical supplies. Manufacturers are rationing saline — a product used all over the hospital to clean wounds, mix medications or treat dehydration. Now drug companies say they won’t be able to catch up with demand until next year.

Upon hearing the news, contact lens users across the country went into a serious state of pandemonium, rushing to pharmacies and other retail outlets to purchase whatever saline solution was left on the display shelves. Saline solution is used to store and sterilize contact lenses.

Other consumers not lucky enough to find saline to hoard flocked to groceries and supermarkets to stock up on table salt. (Sodium chloride is the main ingredient in saline).

“This develoment is life-changing for me,” said one consumer, Michael, after purchasing 10 packs of saline solution from his neighborhood Walgreens in San Francisco’s gay Castro district. “I’ve been wearing blue contacts all my life and all my friends have known me to be a blue-eyed, blonde boy,” he said. “I can’t deal with the embarrassment if they discover that I’m really black-haired and black-eyed! I hope they also don’t run out of hair dye.”
