Yeah, that was expected. I love that show, though.

In other news, the ONDCP has given "Reefer Madness" the award for best documentary.

I would have thought it would pick up "Best New Minstrel Show"

This show proves that Spike Lee's Bamboozled wasn't all that farfetched

How can they possibly have an award for best reality show? Giving an award to an actor is bad enough. Oh my God, they read the lines that were written for them! Give them an award, they're a God damn genious!

So what will this flame war be about Michael Jackson or Gay designers?

I vote for Jacko
 
2004-04-14 02:11:36 AM
Maybe gay designers and making over little kids?

Long live the Crab people!!!

And to answer your question, Arnold T Pants -- they have this award because there is now a reality show starring gay people. I bet that there is no "Best Cooking Show" award now, but if next year "Cooking With Mr. Slave and Lemmiwinks" debuts there will be an award for it.

I hear Amos n' Andy won the best African American TV show again also.

/equally stereotyped
 
2004-04-14 02:17:05 AM
This is just one of those shows that I don't watch because everyone says it's soooo good. I refuse to watch shows that in MHO are over-hyped by friends and family.

Was it just me or was the font size of this article teeny tiny?

"the feminization of men"????
give me a break, they are GAY!

and if straight guys feel a bit threatened by women and minorities moving on up in the world, then maybe they need to grow a pair...of ovaries!!!

grr.

homosexuals should not be allowed on TV.

putting homosexuals in imitate-able positions on TV will only corrupt our children.

Reality?

I've never had five gay men make me over.. recently

"reality TV"

these are not programmes they are specifically designed to lower the expectarions of the viewing publicoontil everything crap and you're still watching it because nothing else is any better!!

/over-exaggerating (slightly)
 
2004-04-14 02:31:41 AM
Kinda like Ron Popeil demoing some new blender into which his cute, hapless assitant tosses Martha Stewart, Coco Chanel and a bottle of Andro. Way too Suburbanatic and TLC.

To appeal to a less refined demographic, producers could focus on more action oriented individuals. Say, the fellas in Florida who crashed stolen 4x4's through the plate glass windows of upscale dress shops in order to obtain expensive and appropriately designed attire. Something like: The Boys Who Loved Flashy Dancing And the Cops Who Want Them.

/That'd be worth a bag of popcorn to the Nascar crowd...

I don't see what the problem is, if you don't like g-mail, don't use it.

2004-04-14 02:37:15 AM
Damn, I just realized the crab people would celebrate this victory. I am just too dumb this morning...

Disregard earlier post

Or, if you're not a total nincompoop, "imitable."
 
2004-04-14 02:41:30 AM
Is it weird that I don't care if someone is gay?

Is it weird that I find this gayvasion absurd?

Is it weird that I wish people could just not care which way "ye swanged?"

Is it weird that I am sick of these shows that have to point out sexuality, gay or otherwise?

And 'Stright Plan for the Gay Man' didn't get any awards?

I disagree with those people who are saying 'Queer Eye' is the only gay reality show. If you've seen the drag queen who won the Miss USA pageant this year, you know there'll be at least two shows eligible for this award next year.
 
2004-04-14 03:04:12 AM
crab people were in like the first episode of the 7th season of south park. Or something like it.

Good episode.
 
2004-04-14 03:08:30 AM
I really like Queer Eye -- good for them on winning the award.

But I heard a rumor that one of the Fab Five is not gay and was seen "necking" with a woman. I figure if anyone knows about this, Farkers would know.

glacier-

Watching gays on TV is no different in theory than watching blacks on TV. A child is not going to become black by watching African Americans; likewise said child will not turn gay after watching gays. To suggest that kids watching gays on TV are likely to become gay, similar to the way kids might act out TV violence is asinine.

As a gay man myself, I can assure you homosexuality is not something anyone decides to take up. Its something I struggled with and resisted.

No mention for "Blindfolded Queer Guy Getting Bukkake From a Bunch of Blindfolded Straight Guys."

Queer Guy: "I still liked it."

Blindfolded Guys: "I liked it, but I'm confused now."

That's gay. Literally.
 
2004-04-14 03:24:37 AM
5$ Me Farky Sarky - Crab people is a reference to the South Park episode where Queer Eye was featured, basically the story was that the Crab people are the Queer dudes and they are turning men into Metrosexuals so it would be easier to take us over.

"Were not gay, but were close, so get used to it"

i'm gonna hafta go ahead and disagree with you there. believing that people in idolized positions on TV wont be imitated is 'asinine'.

WHO GIVES A FLYING FARK WHERE YOU LIKE TO STICK YOUR WILLIE?!?!?! JUST SHUT UP AND STICK IT THERE. ENOUGH WITH THIS ATTENTION shiat. JUST SHUT UP AND BE GAY! ugh. I think I deserve special attention because I like doggy style.

Very cool show, but the "culture gay guy" is dead weight - he reeeeally stretches to justify his existence in every episode of the show - dump him and the show will be even better.
 
2004-04-14 03:33:22 AM
that's suprising.

I hate Queer Eye... so does just about every other gay person I know.
 
2004-04-14 03:37:10 AM
vossiewulf - Any girlfriend glacier has would be imaginary and probably part of his nightmares as he stated that he visits vegimite valley.
 
2004-04-14 03:38:13 AM
That show is a hilarious attention getting device for people that feel they need to throw their sexuality out to other people because nothing else defines them. Plus, it's materialism to the max. What an insult to gays. The gays I know really couldn't care less if anyone likes or dislikes their standpoint.
