I didn't see the movie, but I imagine that its referring to the incident
where a gerbel got stuck in an unmentionable area of Richard Gere's
anatomy. 8-O

In article <33A2DE...@leo.infi.net>,
Let's be careful here. So-called "gerbiling" is a rumor which has
not even one confirmed incidence. At some point, Gere got associated
with this rumor (probably when someone homophobic wanted to paint
Gere as gay.) It is used by the homophobic to make homosexuals
seem particularly sick.
Gerbiling is called an "urban legend" in the alt.sex FAQ.

Was that for real? I know some people actually do that (I have to crack
up every time I hear about an incident in which a gerbil was launched
like a cannonball out of a man's rectum, due to the fat that his partner
lit a match to look for it), but did Richard Gere actually do this?

No. It's one of those silly rumors that gullible people spread as fact.
You can be fairly certain that you gerbil-and-cannon story is fictional as
well.

Before people say I'm stupid (like that hasn't already happened :), I'd
just like to say that I got the idea that t actually happened from a
forwarded article that stated it had been in the L.A. Times. Having
vaguely heard about this practice, I'd never realized it was an urban
legend. Glad to hear it is. :)

This did not happen. This is an urban myth, perpetuated by a dislike for
Gere and for an inner wish for this to actually be true story. Check out
www.snopes.com, which is all about Urban myths, and it will all be
explained.

I highly recommend asking this question in "alt.showbiz.gossip"...

What is 'gerbil'? Me do not know. My dictionary says something about
rodents but me can't imagine people firing rodents from behind even as
some sexual practice in some urban legend.

Just one other problem with this story ...
Find me a doctor that breaks the doctor/patient confidentiality and
I'll find you a hungry (and rightfully so) lawyer that will drool all
the way to the bank.
