Strange as it may seem, millions of over hairy sweaty men crushed
together under the sun isn't exactly my idea of a good time either!

Really? I thought faggots enjoyed that sort of thing?

Isn't it offensive to call someone a faggot unless you are their
friend?

I think that was his point (though I don't take offense at that kind of
thing in this context) but as I'm not sure why making fun of a mass
gathering of (mostly) men is bigotted per se and I haven't made a single
comment about muslims in this thread (not all muslim countries impose
the form of sharia law I mentioned in the 'underwear' post FWIW) it
struck me as odd that he decided to go down this route.
