razorjakLast 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.

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?
