Gaydar - Show Info

How good is your “gaydar?" With today’s lipstick lesbians, Hip Hop straight girls, primping hetero guys and pumped up queens, it’s hard to guess what team anyone plays on anymore. So, what if you had magic pixie dust for those “need to know” times?

Welcome to Gaydar, the new half-hour, in-studio game show for VH1 where two players try to determine the sexual orientation of three challengers based purely on pop culture quizzing. Think every guy who knows all the words to “Grease” is suspect? Guess again on Gaydar!

[summer]

No, I did not make this up! I was visiting that production company's web site to find other info, and I thought this was quite the new concept for a game show! "How is your Gaydar?" is something I suppose kids who watch VH-1 will now learn to ask each other at school as they wait on line at the water fountain. Maybe it will become a "water cooler" show as well. And, no, I do not know what this country is coming to!

[Paul Atreides]

Believe me, you do NOT have to tell me that you didn't make this up. Just when you think that television cannot get any worse, it does.

[summer]

FYI.

[Texas_Jarhead]

I don't watch VH1. They make special commercials "celebrating" gay pride week but nothing for any real American holidays. They can KMA!

[clee1]

VH-1 and MYV are permanently banned at my house, and have been for decades.

[rlmorel]

Just another reason why I do not watch television...

[Ciexyz]

I haven't had cable TV for almost a year, thank goodness.

[Mr. Blonde]

It appears I'm in the minority, but this show does have a point. There are some people it is impossible to tell. Some people I would swear are gay are not, and can pick up more women than anyone I have ever seen.

[hattend]

My gaydar is so sensitive, so selective, so right-on, that I will avoid this show completely.

VH-1? What's that?

[summer]

this show does have a point. There are some people it is impossible to tell. Some people I would swear are gay are not

I think that IS the point of this show.

But, then I was thinking: What if you had a new game show where a contestant had to guess which one of three ordinary American citizens was from a Red State or a Blue State? Or from FR or a Dem site? Something like that. Because I don't believe that's always so easy to tell by looks, for instance, despite what stereotypes constantly get reinforced by the media.

Television... I have heard of that ancient relic, but thought nobody used that obsolete technology anymore (except for football season).

[Keith in Iowa]

Yet another example of why "reality TV" is an oxymoron.

[RunningJoke]

Homosexuals using the word gay to describe themselves. Nothing could be further from the truth. They are far from happy. Actually the opposite is true they are usually sad and angry and they crave acceptance.

Here's a list that more appropriately describes them: angered, apoplectic, enraged, foaming, fuming, furious, incensed, indignant, inflamed, infuriated, irate, ireful, mad, outraged, rabid, riled, roiled, shirty [chiefly British], sore, steaming, wrathful, wroth

I'm leaning towards "irates."

"That which corrodes the souls of the persecuted is the monstrous inner agreement with the prevailing prejudice against them."

[Allegra]

Oh, dear.

[PJ-Comix]

This show needs to put celebs on so the contestants can guess if they are gay are not. For example, if the contestants see Tom Cruise jumping up and down on a couch loudly proclaiming his love for Katie Holmes, then it is easy to guess that he is gay. It's a giveaway.

Homosexual Agenda Ping.

More crap on TV - what a shocking surprise.

Letting children watch unlimited or unmonitored TV is child abuse. What people - especially children - watch, read or hear affects them very deeply. People make excuses, but if what we take in with our eyes and ears did not have effects, advertising would not be working, and billions would be spent on it.

I used to see bumper stickers, usually on old Volvos with vegan bearded types driving, but I still like the sentiment:

KILL YOUR TV!

Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist.

Yup. If in doubt, block it. And no TVs in the kids' bedrooms!

You should ban all of the Viacommie channels including Logo (their Gay & Lesbian channel), Spike (with the new gay Ren & Stimpy), Nick, and SeeBS.
