Glaad to be Stupid

No sooner had I praised GLAAD for their touching and moving awards show last week, they turned around and acted like a bunch of assholes by issuing a PRE-EMPTIVE fatwa against Mmmmorgan Spurlock for his 30 DAYS episode about same-sex adoptions and foster-parenting. Here's what GLAAD had to say, "New York, NY, June 23, 2008 - The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) today urged community members to contact FX Networks to express their concerns about a defamatory claim by an anti-gay activist that will appear, unchallenged, in the June 24 episode of 30 Days."

GLAAD, you are a big bunch of dumbasses!! I watched your whole self-promoting 2 hour patting-yourself-on-the-back awards show with all the glitz, glamour, and Candace Cane. And then you turn around and get something so simple SO wrong. The whole episode was a mess because the un-human Republican-robot-woman who agreed (for reasons still unclear) to participate was SUCH an ignorant religiopath that it was difficult to present ANY other viewpoints because hers was so overpoweringly "right" (according to Jesus). The episode turned out to be LESS about same-sex adoption and MORE about ignorant Christian right wing nut jobs and how out of touch they are with the rest of the world. GLAAD's "beef" with the show was just the TIP of the ignorance iceberg. I don't think they got her to say it on camera, but the Republican-robot-woman inferred repeatedly that it would be BETTER for young parent-less children to languish in the foster parenting system in group homes without ever knowing a warm, caring family than to live with two gay men or two lesbian women. The Republican-robot-woman was a terrorist of Biblical Cleansing at every LGBT event she attended, and then she wondered why everyone hated her and treated her like a raving BITCH. Well, honey, you ARE a raving BITCH, and you need to read a book OTHER than the Bible for a change. And, GLAAD, you need to spend your time working on the "people" who taught crazy bitches like RRW to hate. In their fatwa, GLAAD asks you to write and/or call FX and chastise them for blah blah blah... I'm emailing FX to thank them for airing shows like 30 DAYS.

Mmmmmorgan Spurlock

I have the HUGEST crush on documentarian Morgan Spurlock, director of SUPER SIZE ME and creator and occasional star of the kick-ass FX series 30 DAYS. Even if you don't watch it for the sexy hunk of pale fleshy man flesh, Mmmmorgan, 30 DAYS is one of the BEST documentary hours on TV. The premise is that Mmmmmorgan or someone else lives a life completely outside their comfort zone for --you guessed it-- 30 days. In this season's premiere episode (which I think was this week --I'm waaay behind on my TiVo!), Mmmmorgan was a coal miner for 30 DAYS. Next week an NFL star will live for 30 DAYS in a wheelchair. Previous episodes have had right-wing Christian nutjobs living with gays in The Castro. A "patriot" living with a Muslim family. 30 days is a looong time when you're thrown into completely upside down circumstances. I could go on and on about Mmmmorgan in jail for 30 days. He was hardcore sexy behind bars. Maybe it's his super-gay leather-daddy moustache? [Sorry, guys, he's married.] Maybe it's his pale, fleshy bod? Whatever it is, Mr. Morgan is the sexiest documentarian since... hmmm, ever? Ok, enough about me. Definitely set your TiVo for 30 DAYS and catch as many episodes as you can. The show is also available on DVD for you Netflixters.
