    Logic, Sense and Facts aside…
    When are they bottling this magic water and Where can I get it?

  2. Reducing testosterone doesn’t make men gay it just reduces their sex drive. Equally increasing the testosterone of gay men doesn’t make them straight, they are still gay but their sex drive goes up (along with sebaceous secretions and violent tendencies). Sexual performance is unaltered!

      thats not even correct, natural strontium is not dangerous at all, the artificial isotope that can be created however is dangerous and has been linked with those problems, regardless i think our mayor friend is a bit silly heh on that note though why the heho would they not be filtering the strontium out if they’re concerned, although the kind of which they’re referring is harmless at worst, beneficial at best

    Shouldn’t there be a recall procedure when you discover that your mayor is an idiot…?

    The metal, he claimed, reduces male hormones and could cause an increase in homosexuality among the population.

    Okay, so he doesn’t know anything about science… Reducing male hormones MIGHT cut down on rapes, child molestation, and spousal abuse… Wait a second. Maybe we DO need to spike their drinking water with selenium!

    I see.

    Pinknews is now the Daily Mail of nonsense stories.

    A Mayor of a small town in Peru is insane and stated a completely illogical non-scientific bilge.

    Pray tell, why this non-story came into existence.

    Padding out the never ending advertising revenue doubt.

    Right now I have “THE HOME OF GREAT CULTURE” HACKNEY 2012″

    advert whilst I type this .

    Who pays for you,,,,

    Hope it pays well you hack journalists

  12. What? Another crazy fool, jumping to conclusions.

    Next there will be the claim that eating too much pasta/shrimp/wheat/barley etc etc etc etc will ‘turn people gay.’

    What a load of cobblers awls.

  15. “The water comes from Tabalosos, a town which a Lima-based television station famously said in 2000 was inhabited by 14,000 exclusively-gay men.”

    Isn’t this similar to the plot of the movie “Dr Strangelove”?
    A paranoid US general gets it into his head (due to his inability to perform in the bedroom) that the Soviets have poisoned the US water supply with flouride as a conspiracy to undermine the verility of american males everywhere.
    He declares martial law on his airbase and sends out a squadron of B52 bombers to attack the USSR.
    That movie scenario culminates in the end of the world.
    I guess this mayor had better not drink any water then!

  18. Either this mayor is not the brightess or this is ploy to increase tourism. I want to go there now. 14000 gay men in a small town!

    Don’t knock it, it’s true!

    I’ve seen it in my local town, straight yobs go into Wetherspoons pubs all night drinking lager and alcopops and then pile out at 11 ‘o’ clock with their arms round each other, shouting “Your’e my bestest mate” and “I really, really love you.”

    Truth is stranger than fiction.

  22. “I ain’t drinking their water, it’ll make me gay”… sounds like the old primary school class rivalries. If only he wasn’t a real person and in charge of an actual town.

    LMAO!

    I adore this story, sounds like a little boy – “That water will make us all gay!”

    Or possibly he’s already preparing excuses for when he ‘suddenly’ becomes homosexual…? Haha

    Maybe we should bottling this magical dizzy water, you’d certainly have some very interesting nights out!
