Wait just a second... White iPods are "gay"?

[jive]

WTF? Apparently a 5G iPod in White is a symbol of being gay or something, like a pink tanktop...


Where the hell did this come from?

[yippy]

I don't know, you just came up with it.

[gekko513]

That's bollocks. I don't have a fifth generation white iPod, and I'm still gay. :p

[QCassidy352]

um... never heard that. did you just make it up? :confused:

[Ashapalan]

well, i have one and I'm not gay.

there you go, proof it's wrong.

[combatcolin]

Just about anything popular has been chaimpioned by our friends in the Pink 1st.

The iPod is very much the original Game Boy Tetris of today, everyone likes it.

[mark!]

WTF @ this thread.

[mikemodena]

I've never heard that before you brought it up.. :confused:

[combatcolin]

Hmmm, lots of people over reacting...guess what that means?

:)

[liketom]

LOL that's a funny thing you just made up

[Boggle]

I guess now I'll have to stop sleeping w/ girls. DAMNIT! How did Apple get so powerful that they could adjust my sexual orientation?

[mkrishnan]

Yeah, I got mine in white because it matched my pink tanktop. What on earth does that have to do with being gay?

:eek:

Pink tanktop? Mmmm, I don't think I'm even catching the pink tanktop thing. I think in the 80s, they used to say that if you held your backpack on one shoulder instead of the other, you were gay. And if you had one ear pierced instead of the other, you were gay.

They seem like good methods of determination, but asking someone, "what's your sexual orientation?" seems somewhat more sensitive and specific. :eek:

P.S. Not gay. Don't own pink tank top. Can't say I remember ever seing a man in a pink tank top, or assuming that a woman wearing one was a lesbian purely because she had it on.

[cplusON3R]

does that include the white nanos?:confused: :p

[mkrishnan]

does that include the white nanos?:confused: :p

Yes. You're gay. Get used to it. :eek: ;) :D

[iBlue]

I didn't realize my iPod had a sexual preference. Maybe my black iPod could hang out with my friend's white iPod and straighen it out. What if that happens though? Will they get together and have little bi-racial iPod Nanos? What would they be called then? Oh my! Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

[mark!]

I know my friend named her iPod bubba...?
& he was gay....

so if the white iPod's themselves were gay then....sure..? if thats what helps you sleep at night....

just as long as the black iPod's (30 & 60 GB) don't turn white & molest the little nanos...

THAT will help mme sleep at night.

hehe get it ;)

[Gelfin]

Hmm... I only have a white iPod because that's what they had in-store and I didn't care either way. I suppose this makes me bi?

I don't typically see people flaunting their iPods at all, actually. Walking around with popular and expensive electronics hanging out in plain view doesn't get you dates; it get you robbed.

I suspect this "signal" originated where most of them do: with straight homophobic dudes tweaking a friend who failed to properly conform to their arbitrary definitions of what it means to be "manly." (e.g., All your consumer electronics must absorb visible electromagnetic radiation. Scattered photons are a queer code thing. Didn't you know?)

[Sun Baked]

WTF? Apparently a 5G iPod in White is a symbol of being gay or something, like a pink tanktop...No bigger a symbol than driving a Mini. ;)

[kettle]

... and apparently if you only have black iPods you're not a bigot but Apple IS a racist company because they only supply white headphones.

If you own any colour iPod mini except for silver you're just a bit special.

[virividox]

so with the red ipods supposedly coming out

does that make those owner...American Indians or Communists...
OH MY GOD

[vniow]

I knew it. That damn white nano of mine is making people think I'm queer. It wasn't the rainbow bracelet I constantly wear like I thought. :rolleyes:

[virividox]

i officially request a mod to wasteland this thread, its just another troll trying to get a rise out of people - no real point in discussing this topic other than making stupid jokes

shhh. *off to buy a case to hide my white ipod*

How bout them aweful perrrrty leather cases for a gazillion dollars from Apple.

r.i.p.

o.f.f.

[jive]

Didn't mean to try and troll (I'd have a done a much better job of it tbh) but I was talking to a few people at work about iPds and how I was going to buy a white one when I get the money and they all mentioned abou how white was "gay" and that black was "cool".


I thought white was why ipods were considered cool when they first came out (lol, the closet >_>)...

[virividox]

see if you put your post in context like that then it makes more sense. i think white ipods are sleek. if the color bothers you just get a case. if someones calling you gay for having a certain color ipod, then they have serious issues

Tell your workmates that according to the internationally recognised Gay Hanky Code™, black means you're into the heavy stuff. So if they wear their black iPods on the right, they best get on their knees :D

<sounds of MR posters googling "gay hanky codes">

[jive]

I'm still going to buy a white iPod (hopefully 6G if it's out by then), I was just wondering where this idea of white = gay came from...

Sounds to me like someone works with Free Presbyterians :p

[mark!]

I think you took it too seriously...
A lot of people use 'gay' as an adjetive as in...
'I think Wal Mart is gay.'
To express a dislike for it.
Just 'cause you go to Wal Mart, doesn't mean you're gay...
just cheap.

If the op was "too" anything, it was interpretive. But I get your intention. And personally, Idon't want to be standing next to you when you give examples. The only thing questionable about Walmart is the Toilet. (http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=1914647)

That said, does anybody know when the new Jack Spade iPod front pack comes out? Daddy needs a new accessory for his Purple striped Dolce, snap!

[Queso]

Actually the iPod went out and got those for itself. Damn, even my iPod has a better sex life than me :(

yeah, that's what it sounds like to me. I think they just meant that they didn't like the white ones very much, and the OP took it too literally.

[solvs]

I think this thread is gay. I don't mean gay as in bad, I mean it has sex with men. Seriously though, if you're so worried about other people thinking you're gay because of what kind of MP3 player you have, there is obviously something wrong with you. Or you're secretly one of those self hating gays in denial or something.

[cplusON3R]

Yes. You're gay. Get used to it. :eek: ;) :D


*shakes fist violently at mkrishan*:D

[Pistol Pete]

Well mine is black and large...


my ipod i mean.

[sam10685]

if i'm a guy and i have a pink mesh tank-top, am i gay?

[kettle]

I think this thread is gay. I don't mean gay as in bad, I mean it has sex with men. Seriously though, ....

holy crap, does that mean that this thread is male! ...there was me self assured with submitting my post to a female thread.

wow, we're all just unisexually free spirits in the ether after all, far out man!

[Queso]

if i'm a guy and i have a pink mesh tank-top, am i gay?

Only if you instinctively know which accessories match :D

HAHAHA!!!

[2nyRiggz]

Man you know u just made that up to get your post count up....good job;)


Bless

[obeygiant]

white iPods are not gay.

however, this thread could be considered.....

wait a minute.

[joepunk]

So if I have a white iPod, white case and white ear phones then...

[mkrishnan]

This thread would be remiss if this picture were not included:

http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/zoom/icopulate.jpg

Gay, straight, or bi, please encourage your iPod to have safe sex. :eek: ;) :D

Oh, wait, it's an Apple product. It doesn't *have* problems with viruses. Ahhh, well, never mind. Just use this because it's cute. :)

[Queso]

So if I have a white iPod, white case and white ear phones then...

...you are SuperGay, and so charged with homosexual testosterone it's unsafe for you to frequent any gay bars, gyms, opera performances, or anywhere with bushes during the hours of darkness. The subsequent fighting over you could have someone's eye out.

[sam10685]

HAHA... i was just reading through this thread... this is the post absurd topic i've ever seen on this site.

[mainframe]

glad i have a white ipod then - stuff being an ignorant straight tard :P

[solvs]

holy crap, does that mean that this thread is male!
Well, the original poster is male, so I just assumed. And an obvious flaming homosexual at that. Didn't you hear, white is the new rainbow.

[kildraik]

Thats quite ridiculous. definately seems made up.

[ddrueckhammer]

Where the hell did this come from?

Sometimes I borrow my girlfriend's pink mini. Does that make me gay?

Depends on what you do with it.

[ddrueckhammer]

Thats what I thought (Sigh of relief) I was feeling a little worried after seeing this thread. :o

[swingerofbirch]

This thread is ridiculous. Yes, of course, most white iPod owners are gay. But, on the other hand, most people are gay period. They just haven't figured it out yet.

Men: Aren't you sick of those chatty cathy's who yammer on and on? Do you notice on vacation you and your buddies hang out and you enjoy it and all your wife ever does is complain even after you work all week to take care of her and the kids?

Women: Aren't you sick of men playing games with you? Doesn't it bother you that they rarely go downtown and that they hate doing it? Don't you hate how they have practical solutions to problems when all you want them to do is agree with you?

If you answered yes to any of the questions above, consider becoming a switcher.

[combatcolin]

No wonder most of us don't know where gay yet, just did a search and theres about 70 of these codes to decipher.

Far too confusing!

If thats the case then most of us is VERY gay.

What if I have a red ipod? :)

[rjgonzales]

I think in the 80s, they used to say that if you held your backpack on one shoulder instead of the other, you were gay. And if you had one ear pierced instead of the other, you were gay.


Don't forget about the "fagtag" on the back of some shirts and jackets. In the 4th grade I actually cut one off of a jacket my parents bought me from Chess King. Boy was my mom pissed, but at least no one got the wrong idea about me.:p :D

[Subliving]

Do you think it counts for other white iPods? If not, I shall have to go out and buy myself a shiney new 5G! I wouldn't want to be mistaken for a heterosexual. :p :D :rolleyes:

eek... i have a pink jumper, shirt and a white ipod, does that make me gay?

[Kuru Kuru]

A jumper is a sweater in england, isn't it? ^^;
Over here in the states it's a sort of dress younger girls wear (so I was poised to say well, yes, definitely... hehe). :)

yup a jumper is a sweater, thankfully not a dress, but it s a v neck if that makes a difference!

Hehehe...when I was a freshman in high school, I was very uncultured... I consider myself to have some fashion sense now, but then, I was a disaster. For orchestra, my parents bought me a blazer, and it was one of those that had a little cloth tag on the outside of the sleeve by the hem line with the name of the manufacturer (god, not the designer...not back then. :( ). And I didn't know I was supposed to take it off, and got mad made fun of because of it. :o

i have seen that happen once or twice. its quite funny but you never know whether to tell the person or not!

[exeterbohemian]

i mean, this thread is pretty ridiculous...

that said, i suppose it is somewhat of a bizarre coincidence that all of my straight friends have black ipods.

personally, i would never buy a black ipod. just cuz i think they're ugly. but if for some strange reason i were to come into possession of a black ipod, i highly doubt it would turn me 'straight'. :rolleyes:

[Bern]

Pink tanktops are a gay label??? :eek:

[millar876]

but white iPods cant be gay, I left my white 60 G5 and my wifws black 60 G5 alone togetherone day and when i came back from work the next day, i found thet they'd had alittle 1GB shuffle and a little 1GB black nano, both parents and baby are doing fine
