(San Francisco, California) A team video to show members of the San Francisco 49ers how to deal with the media has gays and lesbians fuming and Mayor Gavin Newsom furious.

The 15 minute video was obtained by the San Francisco Chronicle and details were published in Wednesday editions.

"I know the courts say we can't do this," says Reynolds impersonating the mayor. "We make our own rules here in San Francisco." The the happy couple then engages in heavy petting. In other scenes Chinese are mocked.

"It wasn't right to do it to the Asian community, particularly the Chinese community. It was wrong to do it to the gay and lesbian community. It was wrong to exploit women as they were exploited in this video," the mayor told Fox-affiliate KTVU on Wednesday. "The video is reprehensible."

1. OH who cares?!

If it doesn't affect me, I can't be bothered to give a rat's ass about some liberal, hair-brained idea that hairdressers are being discriminated against! :/sarcasm:

But I really think that about many people who CLAIM to reject discrimination. They reject it in a dry, abstract way.

For example, I know women who talk the feminist talk as much as the day is long, and yet support discrimination against gays because of their religion. :eyes:

2. I was watching the news last night

Newsom was so pissed off

I would not want to be the person who takes his phone calls at the 49ers.
