"The anti-abortion ad is targeted towards the right audience because only heterosexuals can make an actual human baby or abort it"

Okay, just stop right there. You get the Idiot of the Year award.

As for it reaching the "target audience", I doubt NFL football is the greatest way to reach females 18-40.
-----------------------------------

As a member of the supposed "target audience" and serious football fan for decades, I'm appalled at the Tebow ad being shown. The Superbowl is not the place for it and it will be muted at my house.

No, now go away before I taunt you a second time.

You know what I think is hilarious?

People who talk all this noise about how they believe in small government, but are okay with government impeding upon the personal lives of its citizens. Ha!

No happy ending to this saga? What a letdown. I was totally jonesing for Schlong to come out of the closet and ask Mr. Mercury on a date. :)
_____________________________________________

LOL @Lesbionic!Thanks for a great wake-up this morning, that storybook ending had never occurred to me. Schlong is an interesting individual, don't you think? Anyway, maybe you'd like to take me to dinner this Saturday night? I'm free if you are :)

"What's your motto?" "Kill everyone NOW"

No happy ending to this saga? What a letdown. I was totally jonesing for Schlong to come out of the closet and ask Mr. Mercury on a date. :)

"I don't think I ever met a true bisexual but how the hell do you tell?"

Good point. There is a bit of hypocrisy amongst hetero men when it comes to two women vs. two men though. That is, one concept being hot and the other not or as Provolone put it, "hot lesbians not those man-hating dike lesbians". The implication being that the 'hot lesbians' would make room for a 'dude' in a male fantasy scenario. Drop everything, ladies, my dick is here to save the day! lol

Well, Mr. Mercury, I enjoyed getting to know you during our brief time on this thread and I wish you all the best in life and with your plumbing situation.

Hopefully we all can grow and learn from each other through our trials, grievances, tribulations and triumphs in life.

Thank you.

Ok, then. Well. I kinda agree with TV - EXCEPT that, in the States, they DO make you fight for it. Fight for the right to be gay. And that bleeds to the rest of the world just becuz of the media - cuz Canadian gays do that too...not all, mind, but a percentage, fersure. And that's just the insecurity that's passed down by the "majority" (the ruling class). It's the act of trying to get past the insecurity and I think it's just fine - my opinion.

And COME ON! You're telling me there's not ONE heterosexual guy that's not going to think that's funny. It's not cramming and idea down people's throat, it's playing on a COMMON joke. ESPECIALLY big burly guys love to chide each other about being gay and/or being homophobic. It's a running joke. This is not a fucking campaign to make people love gays. It's selling mancrunch and making jokes. That's it. So sensitive y'all are!

Oh yeah...he had em' all right. But he worked his ass off for them. Did beautiful forge work too.

Re:Bisexuals. Haven't a clue there. I don't think I ever met a true bisexual but how the hell do you tell? Some people are sexually omnivorent and as they say, any port in a storm. I've had two very nice liasions in my life with women and enjoyed all of it. Women are great, I think.

"What's your motto?" "Kill everyone NOW"

"I remember James because he lived, not because he died."

That's a wonderful way to keep him alive in your heart instead of dead in buried memories and it sounds like he must have had some 'guns' being a blacksmith and all.

Rock Hudson definitely broke 'type' too.

I'm curious and this is off-topic a bit but how do gays feel about bi-sexuals? Where do they fit into the gay/straight thing? Homosexuality I can 'get' but bi-sexuality throws me for a loop I guess. Not that people need to be 'boxed in' and there are many variables in sexuality for sure but I have a hard time thinking a man would want a woman if he has strong urges for other men. But maybe that's just because I get a strong vibe from gay men that women are sexually a total gross-out factor.

My condolences, Mr. Mercury. How do you manage to go on after losing someone who has become such an integral part of your heart, spirit and life?

Thanks Schlong, appreciate the kind words. How do you go on? Well, you learn to because there's no other option. Grief is a kind of madness, but like all things, it eventually subsides but will never really go away. I remember James because he lived, not because he died. Great memories! Here's a good one for you that really kicks sterotypes in the pants...he was a blacksmith. LOL I loved telling people that.

"What's your motto?" "Kill everyone NOW"

My first major award! Thanks!

Actually, quite a few females ('football widows' as they are known) watch football as do teens and even young kids with their dads and moms.

My condolences, Mr. Mercury. How do you manage to go on after losing someone who has become such an integral part of your heart, spirit and life? I can't even fathom your loss. I truly empathize. Maybe your experience and grief will one day help others.

@Schlong:

Hey, my plumbing job is coming along beautifully, I know you were worried about it LOL. It'll be nice to turn on the faucet without getting a faceful of water, although not nearly as exciting.

I WON'T DO THAT

The anti-abortion ad is targeted towards the right audience because only heterosexuals can make an actual human baby or abort it and as already mentioned the majority of football viewers are hetero so the target audience makes sense at least.

Religion divides people more than it unites from what I've seen.

Just wanted to say I have appreciated your posts and your committments. You might be interested to know that I am also philanthropic, teach at a major university where I am the advisor for the Gay and Lesbian student organization. I regularly counsel students on coming out and try to set a good example of holding your head up while surviving. My students look at me as if I were right out of Jurassic Park since I am the oldest living gay man they've ever met. This always make me laugh because they want to know things about "back in the day", meaning the 70s.

However, I've had my moments of utter gayness, partied with the Village People, Divine, and count John Waters as a friend. I know all the words to "Love to Love You", but owe it to my students to know about Lady GaGa. So I'm not a total stick-in-the-mud either, look an awful lot like Sam Elliot (although I have a bigger mustache) and serve a mean brunch.

I lost my partner two years ago to cancer after 17 years of the best part of my life. We had a good life and I miss him every day. All our friends said we had the best marriage they'd ever seen even though of course, we could not be legally wed. They all mourn his loss. You hold on tight to that man of yours and never let a day go by that you don't tell him you love him...that's the best activism. People learn by example, and love between any two people that's true and deep speaks for itself.

"What's your motto?" "Kill everyone NOW"

Hey. Hold up a minute. I don't want gays to be closeted OR in my face. How about that? Why does it have to be all or nothing? I'm just one person though. Sure, there are assholes who hate people because of the amount of melanin in their skin or how they were born into this world as a gay person.

The president himself isn't for gay marriage. How do you feel about that? Are you disappointed? I would be if I were you.

Schlong, it certainly is...and truth be told, I didn't think you had the forsight or tact to realize just how offensive and belittling it is to label a whole group of people (many of which you haven't met so much know a lick about) as abnormal, some people are a lost cause with a lack of social skills and I figure you were just that. The fact that you did and even verbalize your epiphany makes me realize I was wrong in my preconcieved notions of the type of person you are, but was RIGHT in engaging you to bridge your world in to ours.

Just because you're foriegn to something does not make it wrong, a threat or 'abnormal'...it simply means you are not inherently drawn to that, which is fine, and neither party (gay nor straight) has to be in the wrong, or an outcast in society or lesser than (which is the sole backbone of the anti gay movement..."be like us, or be non existent"). Our differences should not be viewed as a threat, but be embraced knowing this world is big enough for different prefrences, cultures, and ways to lead YOUR OWN life...to request people to supress that *is* saying in so many words that one persons way of living life is better than another.

You view gays being gay, holding hands, speaking about what it means to not have our relationships recognized by the same government we pay so much money in taxes to as...over bearing activism. If you truly stepped back to evaulate the situation you'd realize it's not about pushing, ramming converting or barking...it's about fairness.

I did't feel so 'comfortable' having a former neighbor have a sign outside their home reading "Got Jesus? It's Hell with out him" (or religious folks that constantly harpoon about Jesus in every conversation) but I could never imagine my discomfort for their actions demanding the government to take away their rights to do that under the law. The 'comfort level' of a majority (who are NOT in any tangible way effected by my loving relationship with my partner of nearly 15 years) should have no place in politics or policy. Otherwise we'd all have to sit home and twirl our thumbs hoping not to make anyone uncomfortable.

With all that said, you repeatedly mention this commercial being the tempalte to why gays are 'ramming' gay rights down everyone's throat...I happen to agree this commercial is completely wasted on a population that has no interest in seeing it during that venue; and could result in an adverse effect down the line. Fully agree there. Where you lost me, and I am up in arms cornering you is your refusal to see gay members of society as nothing more than freak shows on a mission to destruct.

You'd like gays to strictly be gay in the bedroom (behind closed doors hovering over thick walls...and keep it there)then pretend to be straight when they walk out their doors. I'm telling you being gay is so much more than being sexual with the same sex and most gay folks have no intentions of finding acceptance via sexual inuendos but through love.

Good points all. I just like considering myself different than what most people would consider normal (in more ways than one) and even a little on the weird side. Maybe seeing myself as abnormal is more my rebellious spirit and pride in all things different and unusual than my sexual preference. :)

Submitted by Provolone on Sun, 01/31/2010 - 3:53pm.

I already beat you to the hot lesbian comment. :P

After re-reading some comments here, I will cease using the word 'normal' when referring to heterosexuals (not just here on dlisted but elsewhere as well) as I see that it has the inflammatory and hurtful implication that homosexuals are 'abnormal' in a derogatory tone which was not my intent.

See? You guys are making headway already.

Baby steps.

Mr. Mercury...I've donated a percentage of my paycheck for the past 2 years to gay youth homeless shelters in my city, have fought tirelessly (WITH SUCCESS) to showcase to my family that my unwavering, solid and loyal love for my partner of 14 years is as pure, unconditional and "normal" as theirs...my circle of gay friends and I started a teen suicide hotline for the many gay kids in our country who see nothing but negative associations attached to being gay on mass media and turn to a last resort; as we reached out to teach them that there is no better satisfaction in life than self acceptance. So if ANYONE would come to your rescue (with fire in their eyes)...it would be my friends and I in that instance. In fact, those closeted hetro hood rats wouldn't have the ability TO run away after we were done with them. I'm truly sorry about your personal account, but don't let it taint your preception and bond with your fellow gay brothers & sisters, knowing there are many of us who treat one another in this community with a respect and kinship that comes with knowing the journey we all traveled to get to where we are. I've dealt with some truly pitiful, venemous straight inidviduals throughout my life but I refuse to see the broad hetrosexual community in that light. In my opinion, you should always role model for the gay community (not fight) but when cornered to engaged regarding this topic....engage (and yes, even challenge) not for yourself...but for the gay kid getting picked on a daily basis at school in middle America who called our hotline in college and had no safety net. We're responsible for the progress not made today, but the fruition we'll see the next generation benefit from. (Hence us even having this exchange by way of Stonewall and the HELL our predecessors went through)

Equality WILL prevail in in future generations to come, people will see my relationship with my partner and applaud that marriage instead of bashing it.

"The bottom line here is no one group in society can monopolize every media outlet to serve their comfort levels, considering the millions in the counter group who should and will have a reflection of their population represented on television."

Yes, and a gay commercial for gay dating on a "Queer eye for the straight guy" show would make much more sense and less about an 'agenda' that cuts one's nose off to spite their face.

Edited to add: The above commercial didn't gross me out personally in the least. I just thought it was idiotic and not clever at all. The MadTV skit, now that was hilarious.

This was the info I was referencing...

Exit Poll Shows Blacks, Hispanics Overwhelmingly Backed Prop. 8

Actually Schlong....52% of the hispanic community voted for prop 8 (against gay marriage) HARDLY an 'overwhelming majority' but your personal agenda trumps factual stats. Also important to note, in the black community 56% of non church going black folks were in FAVOR of gay marriage...so what does that tell you? it's not the skin color but religion that is the common denominator between the spectrum of the population in favor of gay marriage and those against it. FURTHERMORE, also worth noting, of those hispanic voters you and your ilk love quoting in this debate ...63% of hispanic youth in CA between ages 18-25 are in favor of gay marriage, and 66% of voters in CA between ages of 18-25 are in favor of gay marriage...and guess what bud, THAT'S the demographic that matters. Also if we're using Prop 8 as our point of refrence in normalcy and progress...there was a near 10 % increase of support in gay marriage from voters in a ballot measure that was posed at them less than 8 years earlier. Seems like normlacy looks promising for the plight of equality. "Like it or not" (as you love to word it)
Just putting your own agenda in context with reality.

The bottom line here is no one group in society can monopolize every media outlet to serve their comfort levels, considering the millions in the counter group who should and will have a reflection of their population represented on television.

Don't like that? Find it uncomfortable? "abnormal" and "ick"...well, I hear Iran is beautiful this time of year and according to their Presiden...ALmahadjenghishanrdouche...they have absolutely no gays residing there, or the kind you like ...closeted ones.

_________________________________________________

Hey Wa-wa-wi-wa...I can see where you have determined that I "gave up", which is not the case at all in my mind. At no time in that discourse did I concede that gays are "not normal". By attempting to not lose my temper and keep things civil, Schlong did finally put forward some cogent thought that I could find some agreement with. Heteros aren't always right, and neither are gays. Sometimes we actually are our own worst enemy, a bitter pill to swallow but hey, that's my opinion and I'm entitled to it. I'd be lying if I claimed to embrace all things gay, and jump over the cliff with the rest of the rainbow lemmings. While I appreciate hearing your thoughts, I could ask "where were you" earlier in the thread? I called Schlong out but saw precious little support. Frankly, it reminded me of the night I got jummped by two straight guys in a gay neighborhood. Being bashed in word or deed is the same experience. That night, after I broke the nose of one of the attackers and they fled, I realized the fight drew a crowd. Most onlookers were gay but not a single one stepped forward to help me. Some queen had the nerve to approach me afterwards with this: "Oh Honey, you are just a mess! You better go wash that blood off". There's solidarity for you.

I have no wish to argue with one of my tribe. I appreciate your candor and wish good things for you.

"What's your motto?" "Kill everyone NOW"

The Mancrunch commercial itself is cheap looking and absolutely idiotic. But fuck the pro-life commercial that WILL be allowed to air. I hope CBS gets tons and tons of shit for that. Pro-life is so disgusting in an era where the world is absolutely overflowing with retards...because the future of the Earth depends on that trailer mom successfully popping out her 9th baby that she can't in any way afford.

Commercials aimed at heteros by gays to intentionally gross out the hetero population towards homosexuals rather than teach some empathy and understanding aren't going to help get gay marriage laws passed any time soon. Gays will always be the minority in the human populace (after all, you didn't get to be a human being without something from both a male and female) and being heard by the majority can be done in a way that gets your message out without turning people off to the point where the negative stereotypes are emboldened instead of rationally understood as a caricature.

Heterosexual Black and Hispanic Democrats overwhelmingly voted down gay marriage in Cali and there are a lot of heterosexual blacks who play football as well as watch it.

Sure, it's not fair to feel like the underdog but a lot of people root for the underdog!

Choose your battles wisely and THINK IT THROUGH.

By the way, I could care less if Michael K. talks his gayness on his own website. I thought this thread was supposed to be about the commercial he posted about.

Lesbionic: you certainly have that right, but I can assure you the greater part of the LGBT community would not refer to themselves, their innate feelings, emotions, attractions of relationships as 'abnormal'...there is a connoation of "wrong" attached to that word that (again, for the most part) the gay community will not adopt.

We've been made to feel 'abnormal' by insecure, bored Teg Haggard ilk who fixate more on our livelihood than working out their own issues...but 9 out of 10 times, gays are far more well adjusted and NORMAL than the straight person protesting and attacking them.

Till I'm proven the same people speaking ill toward being gay (yet take no issue with premarital sex, oral sex, or divorce) are not hyocritical with an agenda....gay> bigots.

> = more "normal"

Actually, I consider myself 'abnormal' because I'll never be like the majority. Big deal?

Mr. Mercury...it's sad you basically just conceded defeat and essentially said you agreed with a guy who said gays are not normal. You think our "movement" is hurting the cause?...your "civil dialogue" did nothing but reaffirm his bigoted viewpoints, not challenge or stimulate them. Discrimination and intolerance should NEVER be tolerated even if it's a vieled disguise under "opinions"....If my opinion is I think people in wheelchairs should not be allowed to adopt children, that's certainly my right to think so but others obviously have the equal right to disagree and subsequently think less of me and challenge that misguided 'opinion' that lacks compassion. If we all let "opinions" coupled with hatred and ignorance slide by, while we shake hands and move along...no one's mind is being changed and no progress is being made. It's rather lazy is not irresponsible.

I'm saddened you gave up so easily and didn't go toe to to with someone who clearly has had very little exposure in their lives.

You know when gay people will stop ramming gayness down your throat? When you don't make comments like "we straights are more normal than you gays, like it or not"...make comments like that and expect us to keep on RAMMING that gayness down your throat time and time again. The
gay "movement" is not the offense. We're simply the defense to vile commentary like that one, so long as statments like that are made, the gay community will DEFEND ourselves in a galvanized and unified manner with numbers...you want to call it a movement, go to town!

Gay people were born gay and therefor will LIVE gay and that includes being just as comfortable as being gay as hetros are about being hetro ...and if you ever want to know how comfortable hetros are with their sexuality: turn on the television or open the door and step outside.

"Normal"...HAH!...there's been plenty of societal aspects that have been 'normal' only to be proven barbaric later. If one is born gay, they are normal and deserve to be extremely proud of who they were, just as anyone born with any inherent trait should pride themselves in who they are. If you don't believe you're born gay...case closed, move on, I'm sure there's an Amish Bible Study session you're running late to.

No one person's comfort levels should be put a head of others and whether straight people like it or not, there are millions of gay citizens amongst us who will speak of being gay.

It is a funny commercial, but it should have aired in the 80's. Showing it now would set the gay cause back in time, because the underlying message is that it's weird to see two guys kissing. Given the omnipresence of gays and lesbians in the world of entertainment, sports and politics even the most thickheaded straight guys must be aware by now - accepting or not - that love comes in all forms and shapes.
*********************************************

Gays do more than enough to set back their own cause, every time they have a parade float that features a guy in assless leather pants and a mesh shirt writhing all over another dude dressed like the Damon Wayans movie review guy from In Living Color. Know why straight people have a hard time accepting them? We don't need to ram our sexual preferences down someone else's throat (figuratively), and don't care for someone else doing it to us. I post as many words a day here as MK, and I don't feel the need to tell you that I'd rather be balls deep in Jessica Alba, but MK has to bring up his sexual preference every single day, in just about every single post. Okay, you're gay, we get it. Now could you move on? We could, if you gave us a chance.

Why do religious wack jobs come on a gay mans gossip site? Didnt that fairy tale book you read about unicorns in the clouds make mention of gossiping/trash talking as a not so virtuous trait...Oh! I forgot....you have to cherry pick what doesnt apply to you from that fantasy book and then have a common denominator to trash. That's how you religious POS unite, by having one group to hate (and every generation, that group changes)

To the general Hetro population...seriuously...dont you all have better things to do than fixate on us gays? Are we THAT interesting?

Sh8 you don't see us voting on your relationships, protesting at your funerals, getting you banished from serving in the military, do we have a ballot making mention that over 55% of your marriages end in a hairy divorce, having conversion programs called "pray the straight away" kicking family members out of our household, or worse, beating and bashing straights out & about for being straight (no matter how much we may be tempted to, especially the backward, ignorant ilk with straws for brains)

The idea of hetros (ESPECIALLY "hetrosexual" males) on a gay man's gossip/pop culture blog requesting to "hetro up" the joint is just............a glorious thing and sadly not something I would put past the average (vaccant) straight male in America.

But...How did TV get pulled into all this? LOL!

I've seen your ignorant rants toward gays and Micahel on here too often and wonder why you even bother coming on a GAY MANS gossip site, and making ignorant, homophobic remarks toward gay issues...gays have pride in being gay because you backward hetros think you have to convert us to live like you do. WON'T HAPPEN. We won't stop being gay...and buddy, gays are CONSTANTLY bombarded by hetro images on commercials, billboards, movies, and even the freakin' park...I can't walk my dog @ the park without seeing some douchebag trying to suck face with some random chick.

i have never wanted to go cheer at the sydney mardi gras more before in my life, since there's only one month to go i think i should start applying my glitter now.

I appreciated the dialogue with you and your level-headed expression of opinions as well as your personal observations. We're all more alike than different in the end.

Tools? Love 'em. Home Improvement's 'Tool Time' was definitely gay.

Have a good Sunday, Mr. Mercury (Cowboy). ;)

@Schlong:
Now that last post is something I can support in many ways. I agree with many of the points you made, which often makes me unpopular with my tribe.

1. People will be tacky and crude when you add alcohol and partying no matter what the sexual proclivity.

Absolutely true, pointing out that some basic human behaviors transcend orientation of whatever kind.

2.The in your face "I'm here and I'm queer" crap just turns more people off to that type of gay propaganda.

Again, true. I have never supported that kind of mindset because it ensures that no dialog will ever occur. Marginalized people act out though, always have, always will. By the way, I thought the commercial was not only a bad idea, but badly done amd out of place for where it was intended.

3.I don't care if you're gay and I don't need or want to know.

I don't care that you're straight and I don't need or want to know. Some of my best friends are straight. I avoid the kind of conversation and flamboyancy that Michael K embraces since it makes me uncomfortable and gets tiresome. We're not all hairdressers or drag queens. I enjoy having a private life as I am sure you do. If you saw me on the street, you'd never guess in a million years (that was where you got points for the "cowboy" remark).

4. My being gay or not shouldn't mean I have to support certain gay agendas either for that matter.

No, you have that right. I do not support many gay agendas simply because they are bad ideas to begin with. We are all free to make up our own minds. I'm sure that you do not support every straight agenda either. Sometime logic trumps bad ideas.

Anyway, I thank you for following through and not hurling a brick and running away. I respect that. Now my break is over and I have to get back to plumbing the kitchen sink. Some hot Saturday night, huh? Sounds gay, doesn't it? Well, there are "tools" involved LOL.

"What's your motto?" "Kill everyone NOW"

"If you've never been to Mardi Gras then you have no real experience of what goes on there. Plenty of heteros going at it flagrantly on Bourbon Street. I didn't say the event was primarily a gay one at any time. Of course you find my analogy lacking because it doesn't fit your template for how you want things to be."

Of course I don't have any real experience of what goes on at a Mardi Gras, I just told you I've never attended one. What I was saying was I've never heard of a Mardi Gras being akin to a predominantly gay activity whereby heteros would be an unusual/minority attendance. People will be tacky and crude when you add alcohol and partying no matter what the sexual proclivity.

It's intellectually dishonest to pretend for a hot minute that the above, cheesy, humorless commercial for a gay dating website was targeted for the handful of gays who watch a football game viewed primarily by heterosexuals and their families. The in your face "I'm here and I'm queer" crap just turns more people off to that type of gay propaganda.

I don't care if you're gay and I don't need or want to know. Why some gays want it 'out' there for everyone and their brother to know is beyond my comprehension. My being gay or not shouldn't mean I have to support certain gay agendas either for that matter.

Manimal...Are you by any chance acquaited with my neighbors down the block? Fat, drunk and speeding is their credo. Still, they have a bunch of kids, which makes them "normal" according to some so I demand that you immediately take sensitivity training.

All kidding aside, your research was excellent and I agree with your findings.

Nope. As of today it's still being aired.

No, now go away before I taunt you a second time.

Copied from somewhere:

Target The Audience

Have you noticed an abundance of fast car, junk food, and beverage commercials during the Super Bowl? A major reason for this is targeting. Smart marketers try to get their products seen in places where their target audience hangs out.

It is not too much of a stretch to imagine that folks attracted to testosterone-laden football may also like speedy cars. And if you watch football, you most certainly like to snack during the game. Hence, we see an abundance of junk food, beer, and soda commercials.

Fat, drunk and speeding is no way to go through life!!

************************************************

According to Adage.com ESPN Research, shows last year’s Super Bowl audience was 56% male and 44% female, 40% of whom had kids 18 and under in the house.

I couldn't find what percentage of viewers were gay, bisexual, straight, bi-curious, transgender or just fender benders but it safe to say(ooh boy) that most viewers are hetero sexual.
The most successful ads are going to be that target audience.

Hey Schlong...thought you'd be back to see how the pot was boiling.

Couple of things:
If you've never been to Mardi Gras then you have no real experience of what goes on there. Plenty of heteros going at it flagrantly on Bourbon Street. I didn't say the event was primarily a gay one at any time. Of course you find my analogy lacking because it doesn't fit your template for how you want things to be.

It's always nice to hear the "heteros are normal and keep the world going" bit one more time. Disengenuous in the extreme, but as funny as it was the first time I heard it. Pushing normal down my throat? Yep, but unlike some heterosexuals I don't go throwing bricks because I don't like what I see. To each his own.

Points for getting the "cowboy" part right, but the "try again" part is the usual attempt at dismissal. Didn't work. Nice to see your breakstick again.

"What's your motto?" "Kill everyone NOW"

Larray easy down boy,
I didn't say gay men don't enjoy sports it's just that the percentage is smaller than with str8 guys.
so trying to advertise a gay dating site during super bowl is like somewhat pointless unless you wanna raise some eyebrows or like in this case free advertisement by strategically "provoking" behavior.

"Have you ever been to Mardi Gras? I always get that same feeling in reverse when I see hoardes of drunken women swinging their droopy boobs in public to get beads. It's possible for a person like myself feel that heterosexual behavior is being forced down my throat."

No, I've never been to a Mardi Gras but your analogy is a bit lacking since I've never heard of mardi gras being referred to or known as a predominantly homosexual activity. If heteros did the floppy tits for beads at a 'gay parade' I wouldn't know if those tits were homo tits or hetero tits anyhow...

Being heterosexual is the norm (like it or no, humans would cease to exist if not). Pushing 'normal' down your throat? Come on now. Try again, cowboy.

LOL!

Ahh, I love when religious nut jobs try to force that pro-life bullshit down the public's throats. I especially love when men, who can never experience pregnancy, btw, try to tell women what they can do with their body.

Welcome to Costco. I love you.

M.K. can rail about anything he wants because...

IT'S HIS FUCKING WEBSITE. HE IS DLISTED, HELLO!

So, if he wants to talk about his no-no hole, peen, etc., he can, and many of us will read it. We don't care about you wanting to be balls deep in Jessica Alba. (Maybe you need some balls jammed down your throat...)
