This isn't nearly as funny when you learn that we are infact putting medication in our water from unused medicine and industrial runoff that can alter the sex characteristics of amphibians including Frogs

Or if you want a catchy technically inaccurate but conveys the same message catch phrase:

We're putting chemicals in the water that makes the frogs gay.

What a dumb fucking take though.

If anything, your point should be that Alex Jones is angry that consumers are not disposing of their drugs properly, or that drug companies are leeching runoff that causes this.

Instead you've decided to ignore the fact that he was trying to phrase it as "The Government is turning frogs gay". Absolutely not true.

You might as well have tried to stand up for him by saying that chemtrails are real, and they are turning frogs gay, but becuz "DA GUBMENT".

Dont be stupid by trying to normalize stupidity. Just, don't.

First off chemtrails are very much based on reality, it is called cloud seeding and was used during the Cold war to alter the weather of Vietnam an incredibly controversial event at the time, one might say a government coverup.

Second, the Gay Bomb (The thing he was ranting about at the time)was an actual non-lethal measure they were working on and the only reason it doesn't exist is because it is most likely impossible, he went off on a tangent about putting chemicals in the water that makes the Frogs gay and that is most likely incorrect simply because there is no reason and it would probably be noticed by now, but I wouldn't put anything past the government, and just because this specific conspiracy theorie is most likely bunk doesn't mean they like, the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr, that is all but proved to be a CIA opp.
