I think I just did what most people are going to do. I doublechecked the date to make sure it wasn't April 1st!

Some of these ideas are kind of amusing in their crudeness. I like the flatulence bomb idea, as well as the fatal flaw. Some people are used to smelling poo gas. LOL! That reminds me of that one episode of Evil Con Carne, where they hit Paris with a stink ray, but nobody noticed. “Do you zmell zomezing?” “Ahh, just life.”

I don't know if a gay bomb would be a good idea. We're talking about muslim countries here, where homosexuality is even more of a taboo than it is here. We want them LESS pissed at us. Not more.

Whoa, there's a gas out there that makes people instantly sexually irresistable to each other? Can we sell some? Kids at raves would go crazy for that!

i guess it's better than killing people

if it does work it could revolutionize war as we know it.
“make love, not war” ^_-

Hmm I dunno. If you strap some glow sticks on it, you might have something there

Phantom Penguin should do a comic about this, since he does comics about the army

So a bunch of scientists got stoned and were like:

“You know what would be awesome? A bomb that made everyone have really bad breath!”
“Oh my God that is hilarious”
“And then we can have this spray, where if they get hit with it, they'll get attacked by bees.”
“Stop it dude, stop, I'm going to pee my pants”
“and we'll spend 7.5 million dollars on the project, but totally spend it all on more pot”

hahaha
this opens up whole new ideas!

cocaine bomb!
i mean we burn them when we find them, why not dump it on our enemies

or maybe a pot bomb
people can't shoot straight when they're high
“dude, were's my tank”
“dude, where's your tank dude?”
“dunno dude, i left it over that sand dune”
“right thar?”
“i think some camels took it, dude”

subcultured
hahaha

I think a crack bomb would be more effetive. They would surrender to get more crack.
Pot bomb, hehe, atomic bong.

that's true, the cocaine bomb could make some of them do a TONY MONTANA
“tha's all you got?! you fawk with meh you fawk with da best! you stoopid mari'con!”

These are places you don't want to invade anyway! EWWWWWWWW!

There already was a gay bomb.

My personal favorite:

That's just what I was thinking of! Good old Maxwell Smart! ^_^

Man, they should make a chemical like that that only affects females.

I could use it as my new deoderant.

THAT ARTICLE
… causing what the military called a “distasteful but completely non-lethal” blow to morale…

Wow, ‘innuendo what’?

I too agree with the article that a “gay bomb” would cause a “distasteful… blow”.

:) Now that's funny! I should write for the Daily Show.

…DAMN, I lost the bet!

Yeesh, some of these ideas are just outright disturbing.

How would they even test a gay bomb? You know, usually when they have a new bomb, they detonate it in some deserted part of the desert, but a bomb that specifically affects the behavior of people would have to be…


Oooooh, so THAT explains San Francisco.

There was a get smart movie with don adams!?

Hahahaha.

I've actually seen this article before. It's pretty funny, and is written like it's supposed to be a joke. “Gay” bomb? That would definitely be one way to take care of Muslim fundamentalists.

It's just hilarious to think about…

Two of them if you count made-for-TV Get Smart Again. ;) The Nude Bomb is only on VHS, but if you have a VCR… Great movie, but none of the Get Smart regulars (no 99, no Laraby or Seigfried or anyone)
