Gay VS. Glee

Ah...I think I have found a new word for gay, so all the INCREDIBLY gay mallrat kids out there can have a new word to use without offending the Village Voice People.

GLEE

"Joe buys trucker hats, wears them sideways, paints his nails...damn, that guy's so glee. (mallrat hair swipe). Since it's just a show, I now feel safe in using this descriptor without hurting someone's feelings or making my gay manager at Whole Foods angry with me".

NOW, everyone can call something stupid & douchey "glee" and feel safe in the knowledge that only some Glee fanatic with pictures of the cast as their screensaver will get their underwear in a bunch over it. Is it the WORD, or is it the INTENT behind the word? It's the intent behind it. If someone calls something "gay", and they wear mascara, spend an hour on their ensembles, have a Lord Fautleroy haircut..why do folks even bother getting offended? It's projection.."Oh, I paint my nails black and that's kinda gay, so I'm going to call everyone online gay, from a safe distance". Now, if someone's got a gun holster, is thumbing their suspenders, and looking at ya like you're a rabbit in their cage...yeah, get your underwear in a bunch. Otherwise...who cares. It isn't like straight always has positive connotations. I mean, "straight jacket"? "Straight talk" (the sort of stuff that gets you shived nowadays). "Straight-edge" (i.e. "I gotta get straight, I can't ever have a drink again"). "I got a wife & kids to think about, I gotta keep on the straight and narrow"...sound like privilege? "Dire Straights/Straits"...the song "Money For Nothing" is now officially banned in Canada because of the line "that little faggot, he's a millionaire". Rolling Stone Yes, Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits is seeking to oppress gay people everywhere. Pssht. I may think it's a lame ass song, but..per Voltaire: "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend unto death your right to say it". Dead Prez has lyrics like "I'm down for running up on them crackers in they City Halls"...should that song be banned from radio play? NO, because it's just a SONG, banning it would have the adverse effect. Dead Prez are a controversial band, but that's sort of their job. They have one video called "Hell Yeah" that SEEMS to be about carjacking white people, scamming welfare and food stamp programs, engaging in identity theft, etc..but the whole song is in character & is describing someone's nightmare. Most people are too stupid to listen to the lyrics in entirety or see the subtext. I can almost see it now: "YEah! Imma do that, Dead Prez!"..Dead Prez: "No, dummies, LISTEN! We're not saying DO THAT STUFF, we're not trying to glorify that! We're saying READ SOME BOOKS, the system is the PROBLEM!" Same reason Lupe Fiasco wrote Dumb It Down..."you'll sell more records if you dumb it down".

Anyway...GLEE. GLEE PRIDE!

Glee is like the Teacher's Union version of Cop Rock. If you don't know what Cop Rock is, kiss the cross, because i'm about to stain your eyes. THIS is Cop Rock:


"Andrew Lloyd Weber is gangraped by Def Leppard and Cops investigate while dancing on desks...hmm, this sounds like a good pilot, Pitch Guy. Here's 20 million dollars and all the people that didn't make the cut for Fame."

File under Crimes Against Humanity in the halls of television history. This show led to the Rodney King incident...that's what cops were so angry about. Cop Rock led to the LA Riots. That's a fact jack.

The best comment on this video: "im tired and hungry and one foot in the grave...**jazzhands**" and..."They're not homeless due to joblessness--Thor the God of Thunder and Good Taste was so pissed off by this show that now, every time a former actor from this show tries to buy a new home and move in, he lightning-bolts the fuck out that ground until they're nothing but a crater that spells - Fuck You."

Thank you..this has been a Public Service Announcement from the Hall of Poop Culture.
