Gay marriage: comment from Canada

Tuesday, May 06, 2008

This cartoon is from
slapupsidethehead.com, a Canadian website run by Mike, 27. Mike’s motto is “combatting bigotry the gayest way I know how”. He does this mainly by blogging and putting cartoons like this with the blog.

So what does “slap upside the head” mean?

1. Find a kooky bigot.
2.Extend your arm and form a firm slapping hand.
3.Slap upside the head.

And in case there are any doubts:

Disclaimer: Slap Upside The Head only deals in metaphorical slaps. Real slaps should be administered only after obtaining notarized written permission from the slapee.
