I keep trying to get someone who was at Sex, Wales & Anarchy, and got a good shot of Gareth David-Lloyd doing his gangsta thing with three inches of his boxers exposed above his jeans, to share some of those shots with you so he can be in the Briefs. I don't know if that's how it works. I just want Gareth's underpants to gain further exposure (ba-dum! Thank you, I'll be here all week!).

My god, Jennifer Tilly makes a sexy redhead.

Seriously CONTENT IS REPULSIVE?!?!?

That people can seriously write those words and mean them, thats the truly repulsive thing. Repulsive?!?! Maybe uncomfortable, but hey when I watch straight people kiss sometimes i feel uncomfortable too, but guess what I LIVE WITH IT... After all its not like I don't have to live with it being crammed down my gullet in the media all the time anyways...

"View a scene from the April 23, 2008 episode by P&G. WARNING – content is repulsive!"

Sick. Pure, plain, simply sick. I just can't believe there are still people out there who are SO disgusted by homosexuality that it not only gives them a distaste for it, but that it even gives them a motivation high enough to actively fight it. While I'm not saying kudos to P&G for last week's kisses (I still believe they did it just to string us on for another couple months), good for them for not letting retarded "traditional family value" organizations completely control their output.

After watching both episodes of "Carrier" tonight, I feel the "don't ask, don't tell" treatment was just a little disappointing. To the producers' credit, the main impression was that the vast majority of Navy personnel really don't care if some of their shipmates are gay or lesbian. In that respect, the documentary shows that DADT is unneccesary in regards to protecting straight servicemembers' supposedly fragile sexual identity and comfort.

Where the documentary fell a little short was in showing the real damage that DADT does to LGBT servicemembers and their units. They did try, showing several pixelated sailors commenting on the issue. The weirdness of those segments perhaps reflects the effects of the policy. The closeness that people develop when living and working together was one of the main themes, and the lying and hiding implicit in DADT obviously works against that.

Only one gay crew member, Brian Downey, was shown unpixellated, of course only because he is now out of the Navy. He spoke eloquently about his desire to serve and the extra sacrifices he was willing to make to do that, but I couldn't help notice that he could never actually say the word "gay" on camera.  Given that he grew up on the Navajo res (something I know a little about) and then joined the Navy, he really can't be expected to be a glib gay-rights spokesman. It would have been nice to hear some perspective from a more senior gay crewmember, but of course that's currently impossible.

...at least until the next Commander-in-Chief.

Anyway, "Carrier" is a great documentary and I plan to watch the rest of the non-gay episodes. My only real quibble is with the music, which is terribly ham-fisted, heavy-handed, singer-songwriter angst thrown at the viewer over emo montages. Talk about being knocked right out of the film.  Oi.
