Last rant before I sit down to play Monster Rancher 3 for a few hours.

I DESPISE "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy". It'd be a great show if it wasn't for that walking fucking stereotype. Every time he comes onto the screen I want to punch his smarmy swishing lights out. If I wanted to see Buddy Cole, I'd watch "Kids in the Hall". Scott Thompson plays him better anyway.

I'm serious. It's as if the network producers said, "Yes, it's a good concept. But can't you find someone more ... gay acting?" The man is so flaming he's in danger of spontaneously combusting.

Thing is, It's not his level of "fagtabulous" flamery that upsets me. It's the fact that he forces it. He goes out of his way to be every bad stereotype that Middle America has about homosexuals.

Again, if they wanted Buddy Cole on the show then they should have hired Scott Thompson.

Carson annoys me the most too. He's too gay..and some of his fashion tips and advice are questionable.

The whole concept of "get chicks by spending too much money" is fucked.

Exactly. I am all for guys learning how to actually friggin clean up their pigsties. But spending a load on changing yourself drastically usually ends in utter failure. Once the novelty wears off, old habits crawl back quickly.

Besides, if a woman wants you to completely change in order to keep her happy then what's the point of her being with you?

my objection to those shows isn't the flagrant pussy-boy personas, my objection is that, just as women are subconsciously (and sometimes consciously) told that they need to look a certain way, shows like that just try to make us men feel bad about ourselves, like we are somehow inherently inadequate as we are, like we can't dress ourselves and don't know how to live our lives.

expensive pants, hair gel and a fruity, bright coloured drink with an umbrella aren't going to help me solve my problems.

piss off, colon cowboy, i'll stick to my fatigues and old, ratty shirts.
