This is about as gay as "Dollhouse" will get for now

Hmm, perhaps his wife should check his browser history... 

For some bizarre reason I'm still hanging in there watching Fox's rather lame Dollhouse from Joss Whedon. I'd originally been excited about the show since it came from the man who gave us Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But I was also intrigued by the possibilities of a gay episode involving the dolls, especially after the Television Critics Association tour where Joss told me something in the first half of the season would include a gay storyline — something the less-than-gay-friendly Fox needs.

Alas, in our recent live chat with writer Jane Espenson, a consulting producer for Dollhouse, we were told that we would have to wait until the second season for a gay storyline. Insert huge exasperated sigh here.

Which brings me to last Friday night's episode, which included man-on-the-street interviews about the concept of the Dollhouse. Included was the above Average Joe who had this to say about the intriguing possibilities of hiring a doll:

Hey, everyone’s got their fantasies, right? Guy wants to know what, you know, it’s like to be with another man. Just once. Nothing queeny. Two guys checking it out and then the other forgets. That could be sweet for some guys.

Hmm, I wonder which guys he's talking about. And judging from the look on her face, so does his wife!

Sadly, this actually marks an uptick for Fox when it comes to gay visibility. Insert extra big exasperated sigh here.

You can watch the clip here (after the Glee promo) as Fox rather annoyingly doesn't make their programming embeddable.
