Laugh? Cry? Write fanfiction?

Pentagon Confirms It Sought To Build A Gay Bomb.

The socio-political stupidity here is -- I was going to say mind-boggling, but the sad part is that it *isn't* mind-boggling. Still, when the news hands you yet another case of ignorance, homophobia, and "military intelligence", I say: make fanfiction!

I don't have any time or brain at the moment to organize anything, so rather than issuing an official fanfiction challenge, I'll just throw this out there as a fanfiction nudge. Kinda like the difference between "rules" and "guidelines".

If your fandom allows for the characters to in any way, shape, or form have anything to do with the government, the Pentagon, spy work, thievery, skullduggery, scientific research, or any other way you can find into this story -- go for it... oh, what am I thinking. You're fanfiction writers. You can find a path from canon to *anywhere*. BRING FORTH THE GAY BOMB STORIES!

If you've got story ideas but want someone else to write them, go ahead and comment! If you just wanna fuck around for a hundred words or so, feel free to do so in comments as well. If you wanna write a serious kick-ass story, BLESS YOU MY CHILD. And if anyone wants to run with this as a formal challenge? Rock on.

A few prompts already (thanks to amireal and misspamela for screwing around on AIM with me):

SGA
Rodney: "It doesn't WORK that way!"

House
House: "You were exposed to *what* while working on *what*?"

Heroes
Hiro: "There is *another* bomb?"

due South
Fraser: "Ray, this is a serious threat. I don't see how you find it so -- Ray, really, you can stop laughing now."

West Wing
Possibilities are endless

Alias
Again, possibilities are endless

X-Men
And, again....

ETA: from a thread on this topic over at Metafilter: "I've already discovered this so-called bomb. It's called a case of beer."
