God Hates Fags: The Musical

I really hope YouTube Google MySpace keeps this video up, it’s beautiful PR for gay activism. I mean, COME ON, take a swishy bear in a PINK shirt and have him sing about fighting homo temptation? It’s GOLD, Jerry! And the line “To enter heaven, there’s no backdoor”? Priceless. And check out the list of gay bands to stay away …

AHF Ramps Up Attack On Pfizer

AIDS Healthcare Foundation sued Pfizer yesterday, saying that ads for Viagra are misleading and encourage the recreational use of the drug. This move by AHF follows up last month’s anti-Pfizer ad campaign. The lawsuit seeks to force Pfizer to suspend its advertising for Viagra and to start a public information campaign on the dangers of using the drug. I continue …

And I Am Telling You…

…there’ll be no Oscar for Dreamgirls. But gay movie fans should be pleased by Jennifer Hudson’s Best Supporting nom and Meryl Streep’s 87th nomination for The Devil Wears Prada, (although I predict Judi Dench will walk away with Best Actress). Listen to me on this one, gentle readers. Last year I nearly predicted all the major categories correctly..

“You know all the surveys say that evangelicals have the best sex life of any other group.” – Ted Haggard, speaking in Alexandra Pelosi’s new documentary, Children Of God. Pelosi (Nancy’s daughter) followed Haggard around with her camera before the “gay hooker” scandal broke late last year..

Mean Trick #27

Secretly programming a friend’s V-chip to block all shows except those rated TV-Y is pretty funny. But doing that AND changing the remote’s password? High-larry-us. Not that I would ever do something so mean..

It Looks Nicer On TV Anyway

New York City taxis are about to be outfitted with a GPS-based video system that will play commercials for restaurants and stores as the taxi approaches that location. Passengers will have the option of turning the screens off, but I expect that most will sit slack-jawed and vacant-eyed, watching dreary Starbucks ads and robbing themselves of the quintessential New York …

Blue Monday

According to British scientists, today is the most depressing day of 2007. Researchers say that unpaid holiday bills, bad weather, and the realization that New Year’s resolutions won’t be lived up to, all combine to make today the unhappiest day of the year. (Thanks to Aaron for the link.).

HomoQuotable – Rupert Everett

“The last thing I want to do as a gay man is clone straight society.” – Rupert Everett, saying that he is uninterested in marriage. In an interview with 365Gay.com, he goes on to say, “Gay people aren’t like the Jews or the blacks. They’re not enough of a community, and I think they’re too self-hating to be a community.” …

But No Gareth Gates

This morning I dreamt that I was at a park in Orlando watching a softball game between Fred Phelps’ family and a group of neo-Nazis, while two of Phelp’s daughters stood on the sidelines performing Norman Greenbaum’s Spirit In The Sky, dressed as the background singers from the Doctor & The Medics video. I feel that this portends an interesting …

Florida Calls Bluff

Of interest to those with homes or family in Florida, the Florida Senate has voted to ban insurance companies from “cherry picking” which coverage they will offer in the state. Some insurance companies have been retreating from offering home owner’s insurance in Florida ever since Hurricane Andrew in 1992, but they continue to sell auto and life insurance. (My mother …

The Hottest Fake Cabbie In NYC

I’m actually watching a game show regularly these days. Discovery Channel’s Cash Cab is a neat concept: a NYC cabbie grills his passengers with trivia questions for cash prizes. But the real reason I’m drawn to Cash Cab is the superhunk host Ben Bailey. Sexy voiced Bailey is a 6’6″ shaven-headed comedian who reminds me of Chris Meloni. And that …
