Bryan doesn't watch tv. And being a technophile, I think if he did watch tv he would want HDTV. I think that's the back story to the decision to get cable. All or nothing.
Bryan?

Re: George Takei's Message to Tim Hardaway
by "get cable" i suppose i mean make my TV receive live television and display it in real time so I dont have to wait for the m&c version.
HD is cool, but not worth the price. All the latest TV tech stuff sometimes seems to be a distraction from the quality of the content, which is what really holds up over time as evidenced by things like the three stooges getting stoned headline today.
Arguably its why things like m&c need to exist, we have to filter out so much more crap to find the good stuff as time goes on. I'd rather spend an hour a day going through the best m&c links than taking my chances on the latest friday night lineup any day.

Did Tim Hardaway really say anything about gay people? Sorry I'm in Australia and not up with all the NBL news.

Re: George Takei's Message to Tim Hardaway
I'm not really sure how I feel about this. In some ways, Takei is perpetuating the stereotype that all gay men have uncontrollable libidos and want to have sex with every straight man they come in contact with, including but not limited to little boys.
I guess, though, that we all know he's fucking around and just trying to rattle some cages. Unfortunately, though, there are a lot of people who might take him seriously, or at least believe in what he's saying as true.

Good point, though that's the risk of the long pass downfield (football analogy here). IMHO, Takei scored big with the comedy at the risk of frightening the intolerant.

Re: George Takei's Message to Tim Hardaway
i think the sarcasm was pretty obvious. if someone didnt get it and believes he was being completely serious they probably arent worth worrying about.

Re: George Takei's Message to Tim Hardaway
Whoa, whoa, whoa! What in this perpetuated the totally inaccurate concept that gay men are pedophiles? Most child molesters are heterosexual, and even those who molest boys identify as straight.
I get what you were saying about perpetuating negative stereotypes, but Jesus! Where the hell did the child molesting come from?

Re: George Takei's Message to Tim Hardaway
He didn't say that he believed in it, but sadly, it is one of the stereotypes out there. As for it having any basis in the truth, well, any group that's made out to be "the enemy" will often have all kinds of bad rumors attached to them. Doesn't mean there's any basis in reality, just that haters will hate.

Re: George Takei's Message to Tim Hardaway
Little boys? I don't remember that part of the video. Besides, all men are portrayed as having a bottomless libido. The only difference is that a "straight" version of the video would be unfunny.

Its totally borat style, making fun of those who dont get it.

Re: George Takei's Message to Tim Hardaway
But that's the beauty of it... he's saying the things that homophobics must be scared of... I mean what else can a gay man do to them? The only thing can can rationally be afraid of is that they will be fucked by one of them... hence Takei suggesting that it is indeed what will happen.
But anyone with half a brain will then go... 'erm... how exactly will he just 'have sex' with him?'
Homophobia is just fear and horrendous narrow mindedness.

I feel like this was the perfect response to Hardaway, for reasons that don't need to be explained to people who have a fully functional brain.

Re: George Takei's Message to Tim Hardaway
The people who won't find the irony are those who already dislike gays, who have their iron-clad ignorance and Sunday-morning "morals" to keep them company. Neither of which is the same gender as the user, of course.
Fortunately, there are fewer and fewer people afflicted with ignorance. Good thing--it's like a disease, and it needs to stop. Willful ignorance is unhealthy for everyone.

Re: George Takei's Message to Tim Hardaway
I think you may be a bit off with the comments about the gay stereotypes concerning uncontrollable libidos and pedophilia. Frankly I would suggest there is more chance of the creepy loner guy of touching children than a confident, successful gay man.
True this kind of humor can often be used too quickly by the small minded among us. But those with little real ammunition will often hurl whatever they can find in place of anything substantially factual.

Rock on.
Ever since George Takei came out publicly, he's just been getting funnier and funnier.
I hope he'll be around for a long, long time.
