Blame Canada I realize I'm approximately the zillionth person to post this, but I can't resist (and if I post it, I can easily find it again): the SF Gate article on gay Canadians. If I were going to post my favorite part, I'd post the whole darn article, so I'll just pick one paragraph I particularly particularly like: In the state of Texas except for Austin which everyone knows is surprisingly cool despite how it's in, you know, Texas, where you still cannot legally buy a dildo or engage in homosexual sex but they pretty much hand you a nice big phallic shotgun as a welcome gift when you visit, the legislature immediately passed a law requiring each and every male to smack any other male they see really hard on the back and buy him a pitcher of bad beer in a manly gesture of football-lovin' patriotic homoerotically repressed solidarity.a) that's Texas, and b) that's straight men. Mark Morford is my new favorite person in the media. Well, except Jon Stewart, and I don't know if he really counts as being in the media. And Anthony Lane, but he's a critic, rather than a commentator. But anyway: Sarcastic guys skewering the big-budget big-business big-ego behemoth that is corporate, government, and Hollywood culture. I like 'em. [ at 2:57 PM • by Abby • permalink • ] |
