You want morning breath? I'll give you morning breath!

  • John Barrowman isn't just a time traveler, he's a world traveler and, in this case, it's for charity. To help raise money for "Children in Need" John's going to participate in a relay recreating Jules Vernes Around the World in Eighty Days. No word if Gareth David-Lloyd will make an appearance. 
  • Did you watch HBO's Hung and think, "Hey, why not do a version of this about a teenage boy!" Me either, but someone at MTV did
  • It wasn't a good week for gay men kissing in public. Two gay men in El Paso were thrown of Chico's Tacos for "lewd" conduct after they kissed in the resaurant. A police officer called to the scene told the men it was illegal for two men to kiss in public in Texas. Fortunately for him, it's not illegal for cops to be stupid. Meanwhile, over in Utah, another gay couple were cited and handcuffed by security for sharing a kiss on the cheek on Mormon church property. Church officials claimed all couples, regardless of gender, are treated the same way. When Jesus Christ heard that, he threw up a little.
  • When Harry Met Linda and Dumped his Same-Sex Partner. In other bad news for same-sex couples, Harry and Pepper, two gay penguins living at the San Francisco Zoo, have been split apart by a hussy named Linda. Linda's already got a reputation as a gal who moves fast, once waiting only hours to pair up again when her current mate died.
Harry and Pepper in happier times
  • Bruno started the weekend off with a box office bang, coming in number one for the weekend with $30.4 million, but things actually aren't that rosy as the "gay" flick dropped 40% Friday to Saturday indicating hard core fans turned out the first day and that word-of-mouth is not good. 
  • A Milwaukee post office removed a gay pride display even after it was approved by the post office's diversity manager. Marge Oehlke, a spokesperson for the U.S. Postal Service, said the display "...did not fit our qualifications." Apparently one of those qualifications is to be straight.
  • Here is your sports pics of the week!

And now the work week begins!

Who's Still Watching "Hung"?

Seriously? The show is completely devoid of charisma.

Friend of mine told me to watch the opening credits

Found 'em on YouTube:

Clever and sexy--unfortunately, heard the show doesn't measure up to them.

A whole lot of us are still watching

according to the ratings - thanks to "True Blood." BTW, is it considered 'still watching' when this was only the second episode? Most people probably haven't even heard of "Hung." The new numbers actually surprised me- I was expecing a drop-off rather than a 29% increase in viewers from the pilot.
