God, as a horribly closeted gay kid in high school, I empathize so much with PC (AT SOME POINTS. I WAS NOT SO VAIN AND HORRIBLE AT OTHER POINTS)
Like, when Jessie said "you're not even a girl!". :( So only females can be enraptured in this disgusting, pathetic vanity-fest called fashion? And if he had that seat first, just give the poor kid what'll make him happy. He probably didn't want to seem TOO gay (whoops, good try!) but at the same time his excitement for the show gave him frustration beyond belief at those girls' cruel antics. God, I'm loving this case study. I think PC is too far gone to grow up to be a well-adjusted, good homosexual man. But he will be a homosexual man, let us not doubt that, but Bravo producers, seriously fuck you. If I had someone filming my embarassingly kind-of gay-but-I-wasn't-totally-aware moments as a kid, I would probably want to full-barrel-russian-roulette myself. Sigh.
I feel like as a homosexual (male type), I'm supposed to love a cabaret style dance act featuring a JUDY GARLAND song, but no, Katie actually reversed my genetic trait of being lit up with delight at this song and dance number.
(I don't actually watch Judy Garland, ever.)
Gabe, you are on FIRE today. (no AnAmericanPatriot-capsmo)
Seriously getting back to where you were before the Lindsay leaving kind of dampened things for a couple days.
But only a couple days!
Love this.
Still miss Lindsay.
and I was totally right, too.
watched the "comedy actors" youtube (because the female comedians are just "women of comedy"?? ugh) and the men were terribly boring, only really liked John Krasinski. Shut up, Jon Cryer.

Ah! All of those women do (or have, or do in reruns (julia) or never do (weeds girl) make me laugh and smile so much.
I realize that was the least well-communicated sentence possible, but I think you understand. So much love.
Throw me some Tina and we're happy. Who needs men in comedy?
Why do I feel like Danielle is the best?
For some reason I feel she is the best. I could watch her give that disgusting, icy glare to Caroline a dead horse.
I wasn't grossed out. I just said "well, would you look at that" to no one.
Oh.
Also, seriously, look at how much power that shark has! And then imagine it grabbin hold of you. :(
I wanna cry.
I seriously felt like it when I read that dreaded comment this week.
I felt so helpless, I felt like SOMETHING could've been done to stop this.
But I guess we all must move on, move on to lindsayism.com, and wherever you go. PLEASE keep us informed on where you go, because I'm pretty sure I speak for a lot of people when I say that I want to follow you wherever you will go (on the internet).
Or even in print!
But seriously, this blog actually was a huge bright spot in some dark times, and an augmenter of happiness in happy times. I've never felt so attached to a website before. :('s
I already followed you on twitter for months (found it by finding amrit somehow, and then finding one of his followers that seemed to be named lindsay (lindsayism). That sounds really creepy. But it's just to show how much I cared!)
Okay, almost done. But this is not (totally) goodbye. I will be @ your blog right away. Blog, and blog, and blog again.
Oh, and even as a gay boy, you are super cute. My friend also said he totally wanted to be your friend when I showed him your survivor audition tape. So if you are ever running out of friends, just send me a...blog post?
Personally I think the internet is the greatest thing ever (actually. not just saying that phrase in its typical. over-exaggerating way.) And Gabe and Lindsay (or, Videogum) is the penultimate of my internet experience for the past year or so.
Yeah, the internet can be shitty, but what it's done for communication and also, for those people who don't really fit the mold, but can find others like them only through the internet, that's pretty beautiful (and I'm not just talking about nerds!)
as a gay male, I know within 2 seconds of looking at his 11-year-old interests that he is, in fact, gay.
sigh. with this gaydar power comes great responsibility. (I'm pretty sure everyone else also realized this).
sorry, 11 yr old boys who are in love with Lady Gaga are the same as 11 yr old me who is secretly in love with Britney Spears. except I wasn't brave enough to announce that...
I'm just sad Lindsay is going. Can't even enjoy the snark no more. :'(
You're going to take awhile filling the Lindsay-sized hole in my heart, Videogum! I can hardly bear to read THFTWMOAT, this is bad.
The preparation was pretty funny. I know that scared, bathroom-before-anal (gay)-sex frantic experience. Why females (who have no prostate) do it makes nooo sense to me.
Is it always on rollercoasters?
This kid seemed to have a genuinely frightening experience on that one, and it was incredible. THE OVERALL SOMETHING!!!!!!!
I would whine for things all the time as a kid, when I didn't REALLY need them, so I almost kind of understand.
but my mom would never have gotten a bottle for herself, ever. that's terrible.
Sadly, I live in somewhere other than the USA (people outside america have internet???!!!) and cannot watch these motherfucking NBC videos.
And I always get downvoted for complaining about that. Can someone explain why this upsets people? What if you didn't have access to these hilarious videos. :(
also, what gay jokes was he making? :(
To people like K-Mo, and those who agree with him, I would have to say that you owe a lot of what you have in terms of rights today because of those "in-your-face gays" and what they did to become noticed. I'm a very masculine-seeming gay male, so I hardly have to worry at all about being singled out for my sexuality. Those gay men who fit stereotypes in more obvious ways have to deal with that shit everyday, and they are far more brave than I will ever be. So please, show some respect for them and what they've done for all of us. I hate when gay people turn their back on their own community and lash out at the feminine gay men, or the overly-masculine gay women. We are supposed to be the first to practice (and preach) tolerance, yet we throw these people under the bus.
And go read a wikipedia posting on the origins of gay pride. Guess what, EVERY day is straight pride day. I can't believe how oblivious you are to all of this!
gabe, I agree with you and I too worry about what I'll be hearing from teenagers in the coming years. because we heard those Borat lines for months. the issue is, so many people still dont know gay people, and dont know the huge range of personalities, or "traits" that a gay person can have (hey, its all the same as straight people!), so they'll continue believing that most gays are like this.
but like some said, you can't help this, and if Bruno does make people aware of bigotry, I'm fine with it. Also it looks fucking hilarious. So I'm excited!
My god, stereogum readers are the cattiest jerks when they lash onto a certain band.
Hi, I still love Vivian Girls. I''m assuming all of you hate every punk band from the 70s onwards, as well? Since when has "extreme musical talent" = "great music"?
Go listen to some Santana/Michelle Branch duets and breath a little.
