From the article "LGBT rights may eclipse Winter Games":

Boycotts, often well intentioned, can also be misguided.

In the summer of 2013, gay activist Dan Savage called for a boycott of Stolichnaya vodka as a way to express outrage over the new Russian law. Gay bars temporarily stopped carrying the brand, and supporters of the boycott dumped the liquor into the streets.

The problem? Stoli isn’t made in Russia. It’s made in Latvia.

Q: How bad has gun violence become in America?

A man fatally shot two women in a northern Indiana grocery store Wednesday night and was lining up to shoot a third person when police officers tracked him down and killed him, authorities said.

A: Gunmen now have to line up to shoot someone.

@1: Stoli for non-Russian consumption is bottled in Latvia, but the alcohol is produced in Russia by a company owned by a Russian.

@3,6 Don't tell me. Tell Daniel Vaudrin, president of the Gay and Lesbian International Sports Association (GLISA) and Dexter Mullins of Al Jazeera America, whose article I quoted.

It's a good thing The Stranger's filters automatically censor out any social security numbers people type in.

I'll just try it out again to make sure

Yep, looks like it still works!

@9 Oh? I thought I came across the very misinformation I pointed out right here on slog.

Oddly, I was not out to make an ass of anyone with some disregard for the two gentlemen I noted above, but, and I imagine it makes you feel better, I am relatively confident you've succeeded at doing it for at least one person here.

So, good job!

Meanwhile in Nigeria, roundups and trials of gays and lesbians ramp up:

@11, you are such a bastard. Yo, moderators, you might want to redact @13 (and @10, to avoid further embarrassments).

He may be nominated for an Oscar, but he will always, be your friend.

@13: It only works if you type in YOUR social security number, not Fnarf's.

No on actually reads the reasons why people do things, do they?

Ok I'll admit that was evil.
I thought everyone had seen that joke by now though... I used to see it done even back on old dial up BBS's.

@13, if you live in Atlanta, "Frank", then I think I know your home address and real name with just a few keystrokes. I really think the editors should take your comment down.

That prank was old by the time it got to 4chan.

no worries, that was a totally made up number.

Please wait...
