Why is the "gay bomb" news again? ()

by fluffy at 3:20 PM
Everyone's all atwitter with the gay bomb thing that was recently reported, except several news sources broke this story a year and a half ago. Has righteous indignation on the Internet gained much more critical mass since then?

The gay bomb story is news again because the social-networking sites can't go a day without conjuring up some kind of phantom injustice to crusade against. It's wall-to-wall drama on sites like Digg and Reddit. Eventually they run out of new things to whine about and they're back to square one, recycling old news.

In a few days, someone will write something critical about the iphone and the web 2.0 dorks will be up in arms about that instead.
