Comedy Central program to be led by the 'Flab 4'

LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) --Cable network Comedy Central is planning to turn the make-over hit "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" upside down with a new show called "Straight Plan for the Gay Man."

It's not like it's hard to make fun of them. They're nerdy and boring. Liberals have to force themselves to tolerate them. But then there are the liberals who are nerdy and boring, including 'metrosexual' Howard Dean.

I always thought Edwards was more a metrosexual than Dean...

[GulliverSwift]

Well, as you know, Dean already admitted it.

Speaking of Howard Dean, I just about puked on my morning commute when I saw a Howard Dean bumpersticker on a van. As I passed, I looked at the driver of the van and he could have passed for Tommy Chongs long lost twin brother!

[TheMom]

This line, will try to get a job as a meatpacker, almost made me spew Dr. Pepper all over the monitor.

[GulliverSwift]

It'd be hypocritical for the perverts to decry this show and try and boycott it. They're the ones who started a show criticizing other's lifestyles.

[HEY4QDEMS]

I can't help but notice that CS lacked the stones to use the word "Queer".

[cardinal4]

I know he admitted it, by Ill bet Edwards is one of those people who pays 75.00 for a haircut. My wife does me and my boys' hair at the same time, she plugs in a shaver and gives us all boot camps cuts...Edwards looks like the guy who would get shampoo, and conditioner, along with his heat reatments while reading People magazine.

Man its funny to watch the nine candidates take themselves so seriously!

Something tells me this show will never see the light of day.

who has always wanted to play a round of pickup basketball,

I bet there are going to be a lot of "touch fouls" in this game.

Getting slammed to the floor will be romantic for him.

[Tribune7]

The make-overs include lessons in such areas as spartan home decorating, oafish manners, less-than-fashionable wardrobes, and an overdeveloped ego to mask all personal failings,

That pretty much describes Hollywood's view of male hetrosexuals. I think I'll pass on watching it.

[JoJo Gunn]

"Forced themselves"??? Don't give them any credit for having a molecule of morality or taste.

[GulliverSwift]

No, because some liberals think they're so boring. Others liberals, obviously, like the boring NPR-type stuff. But all are bound by the rules of political correctness.

[Trampled by Lambs]

What ticks me off is the notion (held by many, including the makers of this show) that to be straight/hetro is to be oafish, crude, boorish, sloppy, fat and ignorant. As if homosexuals are the enlightened ones. This show would make me blow up my television even faster than the queer one.

[GulliverSwift]

What ticks me off is the notion (held by many, including the makers of this show) that to be straight/hetro is to be oafish, crude, boorish, sloppy, fat and ignorant.

That's because they are that way themselves. Almost all of the left-wing Hollyweird male stars are sex-crazed oafs who obssess over money while at the same time supporting socialism.

Rule #1.

No, no, posters of naked women are NOT to be pulled down.

Rule #2.

Whatever.

Something tells me this show will never see the light of day.

I think it sounds pretty funny. Did you ever see the movie, "The Bird Cage"? :)

[Eaker]

almost made me spew Dr. Pepper all over the monitor.

Sweet tea here!!!!!!

[XRdsRev]

I think the reason behind adopting ridiculous heterosexual male stereotypes for this show is that it is a paraody of the gay show.

The gay guys on the gay show are super FLAMING gay, they are not really representative of most gay people. It's schtick man, everybody on all these shows is a silly sterotype. That is what makes it funny.
