Malicious advertising outs mayoral candidate Alex Munter as a homosexual to church groups.

Church groups: "Uh, yeah, so what? We know, and we have no problem with it. Grow up lose the bronze age nonsense, already."

Yup, can't argue with the headline there. Crazy loons.

God, we rock so hard! Well, in Ottowa, anyways. Atchison (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Atchison) got back in as mayor of Saskatoon. *hangs head in shame*

I wouldn't say "outs" him; Munter hasn't come riding in waiving a rainbow flag and wearing buttless chaps, but he doesn't exactly hide it either...

(Funny story: My husband, who manages a profound ignorance of local politics, finally listened to the CBC radio mayors debate. "... Is it just me, or is that man flaming?" - "No, It's not just you.")

I'm a little horrified that someone tried this stunt, but it's pretty obvious it wasn't done with the blessing of one of the other candidates - because that would be stupid.

Intriguing thought: It's such a crude and blatant attack, I wonder if someone supporting Munter thought this up, hoping that the backlash would help solidify Munter's position...
