Description

Above the first of two cameos text reads 'Homosexual caveman found in Prague archaeological site'; below is a caveman burial site with artifacts. Above the second cameo text reads 'Homophobic caveman found in Labour caucus' and below is Labour MP Damien O'Connor who says 'A gaggle of gays rule our party. You heard it from Damien O'Connor first!' Context - A team of Czech archaeologists claim to have unearthed the remains of an early gay man from around 2900-2500 B.C. outside Prague. According to the Telegraph, the "gay caveman" was found buried in a way normally reserved only for women during the Copper Age. The man had been interred on his left side with his head facing east, with no weapons and household jugs -- almost always reserved for women in the region during that time -- placed at his feet. Traditionally, men were buried with weapons, hammers and flint knives, and their bodies were positioned on their right side with their heads facing west. (Huffington Post 7 April 2011) Labour MP Damien O'Connor has said sorry after lashing out about a "gaggle of gays" and "self-serving unionists" having too much control over the party. Hence a homosexual caveman and a homophobic caveman thousands of years apart.
