When I was in college , I listened to a lot of talk radio. I would draw my little comic to the Kevin and Trudy show on CJAD, and after that , I’d listen to some Dr. Laura.  I always found her hilariously assbackwards and thought her advice was coming from some kind of space-time vaccuum.  The’s not an idiot, but she’s is by no means in touch with the world. This was made no more evident than last week when the good Doctor went apeshit on an african american caller who was upset that her husbands friends would refer to her as the N word.  Dr. Laura then went on to talk about how we’re all too sensitive about that word, and that HBO and Bla0ck comedians use it all the time, and then went on this crazy rant dropping the N-bomb not one, but ELEVEN times. When she was called on her bigotry, her response was fucking classic:

“Why don’t you let me finish a sentence? Don’t take things out of context. Don’t NAACP me, leave them in context. If you’re that hypersensitive about color and don’t have a sense of humor, don’t marry outside of your race,”

She later apologized for her comment, but let’s face it she (annndd the whole reason she’s being mentioned in my GLBT blog) was also the one who refered to homosexuals as ‘biological errors’ so you’ll excuse me if I accept  your apology under protest.

She later announced that she would be canceling her show  at the end of the year to help reclaim some of her first amendment rights that she felt were taken away from her by special interests groups.  Ummm… translation: I want to be a bigot with impunity?

With the iPhone and iPad more and more people are able to post their own applications, cartoons and games. Anyone who spent five minutes on the Apple App store knows just how diverse content gets, so it should come as no surprise that there would be LGBT applications showing up left and right. In fact, there’s not a single gay man I know that doesn’t know what Grindr is. Having said that, it seems a little odd that Apple would start censoring something as benign as a comic re imagining of an Oscar Wilde Play as a comic involving two gay men. After Apple realized how basackwards their decision was, they uncensored the comic and issued a somewhat generic apology.  Now if they could just apologize for the MacMini’s incredibly shitty wireless networking.

If you’re just tuning in to the whole Catholic Church is full of pedophiles thing, this beautiful (if hard to hear) video perfectly illustrates their pathetic defense.  Here’s a thought churchy – take some fucking responsibility for your flock. Even if some of the pederasts were homosexual (which in all fairness is likely), that doesn’t get you off the hook for trafficking them from church to church.
