American Idol homophobic?
According to entertainment and celebrity website TMZ.com, officials at the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) are fuming about the Fox show's attitude toward gay people.
GLAAD is mad about the acerbic comments that Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson made to contestants on the show's debut a few days ago.
"Shave off your beard and wear a dress," Cowell told one would-be contestant, while Jackson asked another male reject, "Are you a girl?".
GLAAD also notes that Ryan Seacrest and Cowell regularly exchange on-air insults, each implying that the other is gay.
That's going in the collection :)
That's the way it works. There are books out there that tell potential Idol auditioners how to "stand out" from the crowd, because that's the only way they'll get noticed by the show's producers.
The best stand out because they are talented singers.
The worst stand out because they're freaks.
If you're neither talented nor a freak, you'll be ignored. Rightfully so.
And I've saved the video link, too! :)
I agree....but still funny.
Au contraire! Fox no longer refers to them as sniveling, whiney, limp-wristed, liberal faggots. They are now Homo-Americans, and are protected under every affirmative action law known to Gloria Alred.
Aren't fruits are plants?
I'm still on the fence if that's not realllly Dad. :-D
LOL, I was thinking the same thing. His mom definitely has a "drag queen" look (((skin crawling)))
Here's where homosexuality frequently leads:
Death from AIDs abandoned by all one's dilletante pals. My wife and I are currently managing the affairs of one of Nahsville's formerly most famous dandies struck down by this. It's very very ugly and the AIDs dementia makes Alzheimers look tame. A rough way to go.
That movie Philadelphia is a sad fantasy. Healthy queers move on scared to be bothered with dying lovers more often than not. They can't be bothered.
First thing his pals ask when they call...."How does he look?"
Vain pricks....I loathe most of them
Its about time the rest of America stood up and told the fags to sit down and shutup or we'll toss em back in the closet where they belong.
I don't see anything posted in red.
Do you have the poster's nickname so I can just do a search on the page?
Yes they are vain.
Homosexual behavior is the most vain act one can undertake.
Hollywood homophobes? Oxymoron alert!
FReepmail me and little jeremiah if you want on/off the ping list.
I've never had any interest in watching this show, but I find it very difficult to believe that they are anti-homosexual.
Antbodoy that doesn't give the gaystoppo nazis special treatment are labled homophobes. They'll even bite the hand that feeds em' ;^)
I saw one of the American Idol finalists on TV a few years back, he certainly looked like he could be a homosexual to me.
I am still confused....was that a guy or a girl?? It said it was a boy...then why the GIRL SHIRT??? It was a setup...
If this is a GUY---why wear a GIRLS SHIRT???
Even if they're not homosexuals they are subject to claim they are, publicity stunt gets their names out there and special treatment as a bonus. If their star fails to rise they can always file a discrimination lawsuit. Perhaps the ACLU will sue them all into the poorhouse and the cycle will end. We can only hope.
Look for "Contactmusic News on your Desktop". it's right above that. I'd give you a link but it's scripted in the page.
