… then you have a problem. If you have more than one problem, they sometimes solve each other.

Take this wonderful bit of news:

PRESS RELEASE
EMBARGO DATE: December 15, 2006, 4 PM.

IN THE NAME OF FREEDOM AND TOLERANCE, AND IN HARMONY WITH OUR GAY MUSLIM BROTHERS AND SISTERS, WE PROUDLY ANNOUNCE THE FIRST MARCH TO MECCA, FEBRUARY 14, 2007

Gays marching on Mecca? As in homosexuals marching to the holiest site of the lest tolerant religion in the world? A group who also hold homosexuality to be a crime pushable by death? Wonderful!

Human Rights Watch, Moveon.org, ACT-UP, the Huffington Post and David Geffen are proud to present the March to Mecca, a celebration of peace that calls all gay brothers, sisters and people undergoing sex-reassignment to march to the holiest of holy cities, Mecca, the capital city of Saudi Arabia’s Makkah province on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2007.

The March to Mecca will snake through the sandy, sunny valley of Abraham, and it is urged that you pack sunblock and plenty of bottled water. “Don’t forget to blog!” adds co-sponsor Arianna Huffington. After the march, Rep Barney Frank of the U.S. House of Representatives will host a special VIP rave on the Queen Boat, a floating disco on the Nile. Hugh Jackman will perform hits from “The Boy From Oz.”

In case that last paragraph didn’t give you a clue, no its not real. But it is the funniest things I have seen in a while. They should have saved it for April 1st though. I almost fell over laughing on this one.

I wonder how many show up by mistake?

There is a site dedicated to it, check out: March To Mecca
