...Especially when it happens somewhere you're not, like New Zealand.
Especially when it consists of an applicant for the local police being told he should ditch his scarf, because it's "too gay."
No, really, that's what they told Simon Calcinai of Christchurch, at the Careers Expo in Christchurch on Sunday.
Now, for those of you not willing to read the whole thing to see what all the fuss is about, I will include a copy of the photo that ran with the story, just so you know exactly what went on.
Just for the record: it was a female officer who first told him to lose the scarf. And also for the record: that has to be the single gayest article of clothing I've ever seen in my life. While I don't have anything against people wearing whatever they want, if you wear something that looks like that, you almost have to expect that sooner or later someone will point out the way it makes you look like a complete idiot.
