"So that's why electric cars can't marry or join the armed forces." - Opie, 2010

Dandy slipped me some strange candy this weekend, and I’m still hungover [Don’t look at me, beeyotch, I ate all my candy – el Mascot]. That and we’ve had a heavy flow of bad news lately. Plus, there’s an election. Go make your own news. In the meanwhile, let’s keep this one short and light, huh?

Ron Howard has refused to take out an anti-gay joke in his new film, the Vince Vaughn comedy The Dilemma. Apparently it’s causing a tizzy in gayworld. To this I got to say, lighten up. One of the most important aspects of art is its ability to highlight the truth. It’s a sad truth that people speak this way, but they do, and all the censorship in the world won’t change that. If you don’t like it, don’t watch the movie. That’s some balls you got, Ron.
