Sublime Revenge

This story has kept me laughing the last two days, so I thought I would share it.

Rick Santorum is an American politician and a former Republican US Senator from Pennsylvania. When Santorum in 2003 was asked for his position on the Roman Catholic Church sex abuse scandal, in an interview with Associated Press, he equated homosexuality with pedophilia, incest, adultery, bigamy, and bestiality.

Dan Savage is an American humorist and sex advice columnist with a blog named "Savage Love". He is also a gay activist.

As Rick Santorum's anti-gay comments were being forgotten by the mainstream media, a writer under the pseudonym "Sex and Rick Santorum" urged Savage to organize a reader contest to determine a definition for the word "santorum." The reader reasoned that since Santorum had invited himself into the bedrooms of homosexuals, they should be "inclusive" and name a gay sex act for him. Savage agreed, after pointing out that there are no "gay" sex acts, saying: "There's no better way to memorialize the Santorum scandal than by attaching his name to a sex act that would make his big, white teeth fall out of his big, empty head."

Savage then declared a contest for a redefining the word "santorum" and let his readers vote on the contributions. The winner was a "the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex,"  

Savage then proceeded to set up a website "Spreading santorum"

As Santorum is now positioning himself for a bid to be the Republican candidate for President of the United States in the upcoming 2012 elections he is complaining that "Spreading santorum" and Wikipedias explanation of the word "santorum" unseat his official website in all the search engines (Google, Bing etc.)

For further information on this please read Dan Savage´s account of the story.

We should always do our up-most to keep bigoted fools from positions of power. I am therefore setting up a thing on this blog so you can conveniently click it to keep Santorum in his right place in the search engines. Oh by all means, click as many times as you wish!
