the current TV rss feeds seem to have a small flash file that links to the video. It doesn't work with my podcatcher. al gore if you are reading this you lost a viewer.

Sometimes, celebrity rag

Sometimes, celebrity rag tabloids and pathetic excuses for journalists like to print rumors that aren't true, like the Eddie Murphy dead rumor. The Eddie Murphy dead thing was a rumor that there was a special effects accident on set of a movie version of the video game Left 4 Dead. The rumor is over a year old, but as with so many stupid rumors, it keeps getting spread. For the record, Paul McCartney was never dead either, and reports of Mark Twain's death (at one point, anyway) were greatly exaggerated. (He did, however, die later.) When rumors like Eddie Murphy dead start making their rounds, that's when it's time to get a cash advance and find something to do.

That was fantastic. I thought

That was fantastic. I thought BET was a mild form of self segregation, but those are just downright offensive lengths to go to to sell ad space and products, in both the fact that it patronizes LGBT consumers, and because they feel the need to "protect" heterosexual America from the scurge of homos.

But still not as offensive as the ad that says drugs are so bad they will make you incestuous and gay. Why not have a brother and a sister kiss? Probably because the imbecilic Americans that would actually listen to that ad are so backwards that they'd probably think it was sexy. And they'd think the same thing if it featured two sisters, because everyone loves hot lesbian makeouts!

So why wasn't the yogurt commercial allowed to have lesbian overtones? Oh, because the women in that ad weren't "young and hot". Great, now we've offended the homosexual AND female community!

Now, were those "subliminally" gay friendly ads real? If so, good lookin' to the people that made them. It would seem that some people still like to keep "human" and "humane" on the same page.

Me again. I should note that

Me again.

I should note that I know the REAL reason the yogurt ad was edited, which is not because it suggests that two women could be sexual partners, but because it suggests that two people of the same gender can have a "normal", loving relationship and not just be sexual deviants. As soon as you start letting them think they can do that they'll want to get married, and God forbid--literally--if that ever happens.
