Hilarious Or Offensive? Seven More Gag Gifts Poking Fun At Gays

Screen Shot 2013-12-13 at 5.12.55 PMResidents of Gimli, Manitoba were “mortified” and “embarrassed” this week to learn that a local retailer had been selling “Gay Away” pills, a candy gag gift that both “cures gayness” and “stops the craving for misbehaving.”

The product was pulled from store shelves once a 12-year-old girl mistakenly believed the pills were authentic and wound up on the local news. The store’s owner quickly offered a public apology and claims the sale was an “honest mistake.”

Gay Away pills are manufactured by Laughrat, a Toronto-based company that offers other tasteful products like Hornitos, Extra Strength Fuckitol and Bonergizer. Some of you argued that novelty gifts don’t always have to be politically correct, calling Gay Away pills more hilarious than offensive.

Does the sentiment hold true for all questionably offensive gay gag gifts, or are these gag gifts just plain offensive?

Talking Gaydar Keychain

Is he gay? Is he straight? Can’t tell? Why not let an offensive keychain offer the definitive answer? The talking “Gaydar Keychain” has “amazing powers of detection” and offers instant results. All you have to do is aim the device at your subject, press a button, and hear an awful gay stereotype accuse your friends of being gay. (Then, you should probably punch yourself in the face.) Eight years and up.

“Heyyyyyyyyy! You’re gay!” T-Shirt

Nothing says it’s okay to say this! quite like an offensive slogan on a t-shirt. Insulting apparel has long been a favorite choice of men who are too cowardly to voice their opinions aloud, so they’ll absolutely love to add this fabulousHeyyyyyyyyy! You’re gay!” top to their collection.

Inflatable Gay Best Friend

It seems like everyone wants a gay best friend these days! For those who just can’t get the full experience from the keychain above, there is still hope with the “Inflatable g*y Best Friend.” British grocery chain Tesco came under fire earlier this year for offering the inflatable dude for sale online. The item has since been pulled from shelves, but don’t worry! Amazon still has it!
