Bolivian president says eating too much chicken makes you gay

Hugo Chavez and Evo Morales

Sure, it sounds daft. But we say don’t dismiss Bolivian President Evo Morales’ theory too quickly. It may go a long way toward explaining why Colonel Sanders was such a spiffy dresser.

The Guardian UK has the deep-fried details:

Evo Morales has claimed that both homosexuality and baldness can be caused by the humble chicken.

Speaking at an environmental conference on Tuesday, Morales said chicken producers injected fowl with female hormones and insisted that “when men eat those chickens they experience deviances in being men”.

The Bolivian president since 2005 added that eating chicken could make men go bald.

Morales’s theories do not appear to have been immediately accepted by the scientific community, to put it mildly, and have been criticised by Spain’s National Federation of Lesbians, Gays, Transsexuals and Bisexuals, which sent a letter of protest to the Bolivian embassy in Madrid describing the president’s remarks as homophobic.

“Welcome to KFC. Would you like original, crispy, spicy or our new Brokeback Chicken flavor?”

  • Evo Morales is a 5 foot nothing, 2 bit punk dictator who needs to shut up. The man is a marxist, & we all know how successful they are in raising the standard of living in places they rule over.
    But if anyone cares, I like chicken, I like it fried, I like it grilled, & I like it BBQed. I like chicken sandwiches & chicken strips at Dairy Queen. I love chicken & hate marxists. Plus, Morales is pictured with Hugo Chavez, who hates golf, he thinks it is a "bourgeois sport", so here is my plan for today...since I have tonight off, I am going to go golfing & hit Dairy Queen for a chicken sandwich. I might even wear a red shirt in honor of fatboy Hugo, & I'm gonna like it.

  • Is he speaking from experience? He seems very happy to be with the other idiot in that photo.

  • this is explains....very little

    i do eat alot of chicken, but so far ive yet to go bald, or bed with a dude.
    ill keep you guys updated though, the man obviously knows his science.

  • I always knew that the Colonel was in the closet - but I thought he was in there colluding with with the Vatican, The Queen et al, not the Village People.

    • Hey, in defense of the Colonel, when he became a born again Christian, he did not utter another cuss word - he used to be a foul mouthed SOB.

  • On a serious note, if this piece of junk science turned out to be true, would the radical left embrace it as making more gays or would it fight it on environmental grounds? And/or would a war start between the two factions?
