Da Ali G Show
HBO has a show by Sascha Baron Cohen who is a british comedian who does different characters. Bhorat from Kazakstan, Bruno the German homosexual, and his "normal" character of Ali G, who's kind of like a british rapper sort of.
Anyway, Bruno was in Daytona for Spring Break. He was talking with a group of college wrestlers. He was asking some standard questions. Then he got them to scream and act crazy, you know, the typical "Spring Break WooHoo" stuff, but he had them do it 4 times and each time he asked for "more energy" Very amusing, but at the end he was doing a station promo for the fake TV station that he was a reporter for, so he is telling the kid what to say,"This is Bruno and John coming to you from Daytona Beach. This has been a presentation for Gay TV." Not a quote but the general idea. The kid is like "gay? gay? I'm not gay" and kind of walks away.
Why are the people who are around sweaty guys touching each other all day (college wrestlers) the most homophobic? I realize this is a harsh generalization but more often than not, it's accurate. Just a thought. Now I return to my regularly scheduled work day.
