"Hollywood Pulls 'Anti-Gay' 'Bill and Ted' Halloween Show"

Universal Studios Hollywood announced it was shelving its Bill & Ted Halloween Horror Nights show, which critics had charged with being homophobic.

The show featured Superman, who was "turned gay" by being sprinkled with "fairy dust," according to reports. The Superman character then displayed a series of gay stereotypes meant to be played for laughs.

"After thoughtful consideration, Universal Studios Hollywood has made the decision to discontinue production of the Halloween Horror Nights' "Bill & Ted" show for the remainder of its limited run," Universal Studios Hollywood said in a statement.

They rejected my suggestion to use pansy petals, instead of fairy dust.

How 'bout pixie dust?

Or you can clap if you love fairies.

How did it even get this far without the velvet mafia butting in. The fact that entertainment and H'wood still views gays as a punch line is ever amusing.

Eric the Fruit Bat said...

Speaking of butting in, my guess is that Superman would give a guy one hell of an enema.

Nobody is as critical and intolerant of flamboyant gayness as gays themselves. Most just hate that shit. The gays I know hate people like Titus, the same as Christians generally can't stand church lady types. But they reasonable ones in both groups want them ridiculed for their foolishness, not protected from criticism.

This controlling bullshit is something completely outside of gayness that is just an innate character flaw of the left. If they are anything, they are totalitarian, in even the smallest things. That's why the solution to every problem for them is a law, a regulation, submission, and control.

And no, I'm not equating gayness with being a zombie. Zombies have no sense of style, but that's not a choice. They are often stuck in the clothes that someone else put on them, and they are never welcome in the laundromat or public showers. During this month where zombies are high profile, let's think about how we treat them, and let's try to become better people.

Did they make fun of Super Man being a splooge stooge?

The Caped Cod Crusader could also work as a character.

I assume the search is on for the gene that makes a homo all mincy.

Not bad pollo, not bad at all...

America is not ready for a gay Superman. GLADD is the first to say they are sad about that.

Everybody knows that it is Batman that is gay not Superman.

Batman is a rich confirmed bachelor who never had a lasting relationship with a woman. Lives with his teenage "ward" who he makes slide down the Bat Pole.

And he owns a beagle.

Superman has been schtupping goyisher chicks since he was in High School.

NBCUniversal has taken quick and strong action regarding this matter and also started a productive dialogue around future 'Bill & Ted' programming to ensure that all park visitors can have an enjoyable experience..

The gay mafia controls just about every aspect of entertainment these days. That's why everything sucks. So to speak.

If the Crack Emcee could get away from his chiropractor he would say that is racist.

I don't know what I think, really about this, (truth is I don't care enough to think about it) but the question occurred to me that if something can't be laughed at it isn't mainstream, and I thought everyone wanted all the diversity celebrated to be just "normal" like everyone else.

When we stop laughing at each other ...

We'll be a sick boring bunch.

You see, being offended trumps the First Amendment every single minute. (Unless you are sexually and intellectually insulting Sarah, Trig, and Bristol Palin -- with a little Michelle Bachmann thrown in the mix.)

BTW -- Did you hear the one about the priest, the minister and the rabbi ...?

This is stupid. I love laughing at fags...but I don't want to actually speak or hang out with them.

tits.

Well except for the Boston Red Sox.
