08.21.09 A STRAIGHT MAN DEFENDS ‘PROJECT RUNWAY’

You lose a bet or something?

“It’s the closed-minded simpletons dismissing the show as “gay” who owe an apology.”

I’m confused – who do we owe an apology to? The gays? Our televisions? Marines? Rottweilers? This post is confusing.

No dude, you’re totally right! I love cock too!

Wait…fuck.

Whatever, closet case.

I feel like Tim Gunn could shame the opposition and finalize the push for gay marriage in one 30 second commercial:

“So, you’re against gay marriage? (followed by 27 seconds of frowning and silence)”

Now, if you’ll excuse me, there are some Wham! records I need to go listen to.

hopefully, Careless Whisper

I’d watch the show if all the contestants were there to make friends

Uff, allow me a few words to shoot down your entire case:

The show is on fucking Lifetime. Faggot.

I don’t know how being a Marine at war is a sign of you NOT being gay. The American military features the randiest bunch of queers I’ve ever met.

We need a GIF of Tim Gunn holding his chin in his hand, looking over his glasses with a withering look of disdain for a good 10 seconds, then pointing derisively at some hideous creation. There are so many instances this GIF would come in handy, but I have zero computer skills. Hopefully someone else can pull this off.

You are so gay! I would never catch more of than a glimpse of this show if I wasn’t married.

Enrico, I know you’re trying to be funny, but I think that crosses the line.

Bravo used to be the all-gay channel, and now it’s branched out into other programming. Same with Lifetime and women. Same with Cartoon Network. Same with Syfy.

Lifetime is a great channel if you like to see women used and abused. Yeah there’s that empowerment stuff in the end, but first they have to get the shit beaten out of them or raped or left at the roadside when the guy who is banging them learns they’re pregnant. Great channel.

As a general rule, if you’re in an argument over whether something’s gay or not, just think “what would my grandfather think?”

annnnnnnnnd I’m pretty sure he’d think you were a “poofter” for liking this show.

GRRR FOOTBALL!

Awesome. Ignore the dolts.

I love shows where people make shit. Project Runway and Top Chef kick ass because people with actual hard-earned skills are trying to make real things, often for real people.

It is also awesome to see arrogant, low-talent snots get humbled once in a while, but that’s just gravy. The meat of this show is makers making. As long as we’re trying to stave off economic collapse, it’d be nice to see more of that.

I was in a fraternity in college.

I think it’s funny that you used this as an example of your heterosexual credibility.

@Zack, I was merely using things that are stereotypes of masculinity. And I don’t think your assertion that frats aren’t heterosexual is off, as most men in fraternities are straight. There’s a great divide between what people view as homoerotic (fraternities, the military) and what is actually homosexual.

This here post be for intelligent discussion.

Rather, I DO think your assertion is off.

A quick word of advice, Uff: Don’t use “I was on the wrestling team” as heterosexual cred, OK?

Uff, based on your link, Irina kinda looks like a man, baby.

im with you. i really like the show. but its very gay.

You can be straight in a fraternity, so long as your dad owns a dealership.

Ufford’s Quote:
“I was in a fraternity in college. I served in the Marines. I went to war. I have, on occasion, kissed girls. I own a Rottweiler. My favorite drink is whiskey.”

Esera Tuaolo Quote:
My family lived in a hut with a dirt floor. I’d gone from that poverty to the fortunes of the NFL. Football gave me a college scholarship, the chance to buy a house for my mother, the opportunity to travel, and much more. My NFL career lasted nine years with five teams — the Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, Jacksonville Jaguars, Atlanta Falcons, and Carolina Panthers. I’ll go down in history as the first player to sing the national anthem and then start an NFL game, the first rookie nose guard to start all sixteen games, and the last guy to “tackle” John Elway in his storied Hall of Fame career.

The dream to succeed in the NFL and achieve all that football had to offer was at times a nightmare.

This is the story of how I dared to dream, not only of surviving professional football, but of living openly for who I am, a gay man.

Take the trench Ufford. Grab the nob and open up that closet door. You’re so close.

Gay? Straight? Does it matter? We’re all good liberals here. I love my wife and child, you love the feeling of a burly man slipping his tube steak past your prostate. It’s just another part of the human experience.

Matt, I fully support your heterosexual interest in Project Runway. My husband watches it with me for the sole reason of making fun of everyone and everything on it. Speaking of that, I can’t believe you didn’t mention Ari’s spectacularly fashionable unitard or whatever that was she was meditating in.
And no mention of the see thru nightgown/dress? Now I’m questioning your masculinity.

I’m with ya, Uff.

I watch that show with my girlfriend every fucking week. She’s a fashion designer, so it’s nice to have someone in the know when people design things that I could swear are a practical joke. Tim Gunn is awesome. Straightforward with his critiques, but doesn’t cut people down like an asshole. Heidi Klum is a goddess. Still. And along the lines of what William said, this show has people with actual talent, striving to make it in a cutthroat industry. Not Megan Wants An Amateur Dentist and Finger Remover.

Are we really resorting to homophobia on the internet now? Where nobody even knows who you really are if you don’t want them to?

Bring it.

And I don’t think your assertion that frats aren’t heterosexual is off, as most men in fraternities are straight.

The sheer number of negatives (don’t, aren’t, off) in this sentence are too confusing, so I’ll just point out that I was just trying to push your buttons and leave it at that. Personally, I quite enjoy Project Runway. Plus, Christopher is actually the cousin of one of my college roommates, so this season I’ve got someone specific to root for.

Good Lord, people, it’s the 21st century. Haven’t we moved past inaccurate, ignorance-based stereotypes?

I was in a fraternity in college. I served in the Marines. I went to war. I have, on occasion, kissed girls. I own a Rottweiler.

You’re obviously not gay. You just have a small penis.
