    If I were CBS, I'd be trying to get the flyover states to watch my show - thus putting the adverts in mags going there. They're the people actually sitting at home, not NYCers and Los Angelenos.

    Industry people already know their shows suck.

    So $11 to $15 per copy? Wow indeed. (I see on Wired that the video will be "only in some subscriptions delivered to New York and LA," but still. Big Bucks for Big Bang Theory! (I admit it, I really like that show.)

    If I open a magazine and more than two subscriber cards fall out (and usually land under the subway seat of the stinky homeless guy and I don't retrieve them and get the evil eye from fucking transplants who don't remember when you had to worry about your LIFE on the subway and not some random piece of litter), I never buy that rag again.

    Now this.

    Subway patrons beware. The whole damn magazine is coming your way the first time I come across one of these things.

    Surprise: worst fucking advert for worst fucking television show.

    Is it possible to reach 100% commercial saturation? At a certain point, can I just have some fucking ad exec garnish my wages and leave me the fuck alone?

    Darn! and he's the one writer that I found attractive in the whole group on Gawker - nice, nonchalant, cajun and totally my type - except that he's str8

    ;)


    but hey, now the rules say we can be friends and share a room and watch movies and spoon and stuff.. no-homo.

    I live down in the deep South, and nearly all of my best friends are totally accepting straight dudes. I am talking dudes so straight they HUNT. It's a whole new era, fellas.

    @SeeingI: My husband is from the Deep South too and when he was growing up in the 1970s and early 80s, his city was so square you HAD to go to a gay bar to find your people. So it's not totally new, but hoorah nonetheless.

    @SeeingI: Maybe this story would have made sense if it were in the Huntsville, AL Times, but here in NY this story is a historical recap rather than a trend piece. When I first saw the story, I was thinking the Times might be telling us about straight guys (and I don't mean closet cases) being so post-modern that they're cool having sex with their gay friends.

    Gay male friends kiss each other and sometimes hold hands.
    One has to remember not to do this when one is with a straight male friend.
    I am not sure what to do when I'm with the bisexual ones.
    However one of my straight friends recently kissed me so that was very confusing.

    Although male friends of opposite orientations can face formidable obstacles - sexuality, language, peer pressure, inequality ...


    Wait, what? Language? Do they mean how straight men don't know the difference between ecru and taupe, and gay men don't know the difference between a home run and a grand slam? WTF?
