I'm not sure how legitimate this is, but it's certainly interesting.

"Rainbow" is supposedly a children's show from the UK, which was aired in the late 70s and early 80s. There was one infamous episode, called the "innuendo episode" these days, which contains a suprising number of veiled sexual references.

Well, after further digging, it looks like it's semi-legitimate. The episode was created by the cast of Rainbow, but never aired for children:

The clip is genuine and comes from a 1978 Thames TV 'Christmas tape' made by station staff in their spare time for airing at their Christmas party. The clip was actually broadcast on Channel 4 in 1997 as part of Victor Lewis Smith's 'TV Offal'

Still funny though.

Once you register, you can change the color scheme. There are currently 10 to choose from.

The default seemed like a good idea at the time, but I think it'll be changed.

do you think the guy with the shrimp sign is serious, or just fucking with the gay bashers?

fooled me. on second look, i noticed the disclaimer at the very bottom of the page. The problem was that i was straight when i looked at that this morning. Don;t worry, that situation has now been rectified
