  • GOP, where in the world did you hear that there was a gay fad in the 80's involving gerbils? I don't think so. A certain actor was accused of doing something weird with a gerbil but he denied it on national television and said it was just a nasty rumour that someone spread about him. And he wasn't even gay.

  • Sounds like the worse abuse of gerbils since that '80s gay men fad.
