Yesterday, I was watch the "Perform this Way" parody video by Weird Al on youtube, which led me to the original version by Lady Gaga, which led me to her other song "Telephone" which led me to the Army guys, doing their version of of the video while in Iraq or Afghanistan, which lead me to the Australian Navy making a video for "I'm on a Boat" (which is really funny, though I had never heard the song before,) which led me to the video above which got me reading the comments, that started this whole post.
The comment in question reads; "Am the only one who thinks maybe one these guys is hiding something? ;) Not that there is anything wrong with that! love whatchin them shake it."
I'm just as guilty as the person who posted the comment, that when you see a group of guys doing things that we as a society deem as un-masculine, then there must be a gay element there. This is where, I wish, the word gay would go from meaning "a homosexual male or female," back to "jovial or happy, good spirited." cause the guys by the later definition are very gay.
And now for a little "white man's overbite"
"one of these guys is hiding something?" I doubt it. When I see shit like this, I automatically think these dudes blowin off steam, and messin around, just havin fun. Ain't nuthin wrong at all w/ what they are doing. I don't resd shit into it, and people who do are dicks. Why do some people assume that guys acting silly and having fun is a gay thing? What, do gays have a monopoly on fun?
ReplyDeleteI am completely with you. Gay needs to go back to meaning, well, gay. I prefer homosexual; I'm also okay with 'mo. Let's retire straight, too.
ReplyDeleteHaha. I really enjoyed And totally agree about the old school definition of "gay". Thanks.
