Dan Savage vents a little

Some gay guys are Web-surfin', crystal-abusin', load-takin', slow-motion suicides, completely beyond help. Even so, gay guys who aren't suicides and/or sociopaths have to open their mouths and confront stupidity when and where we encounter it.

I gotta say, I don't know how much that's going to help, Dan. I don't know if people will actually listen when you yell at them. But at least you're trying to keep people talking about it... that's more than a lot of other people are doing.

Another menlovian related post

(I guess this is what happens when Menlove cuts me off from commenting on his blog)


But I'm glad to admit I'm wrong, menlove. You did in fact raise the money and for that I'm amazed.

We need to find out though if we can actually use the school's name in the donation... If not, I suggest we use "Brooklyn Law School Menlovian Society", or "The BLS Menloves"

I only hope that with my nihilistic trolling that I somehow helped motivate people. I know I certainly motivated you :)

Kudos.

Menlovian thins the fratmosphere

I have to say, I definitely appreciate that he finally took a stand against the sometimes puerile personas of the menlovian comments boards. I only got a second hand synopsis of what actually went down, but after some of the shit that happened in January/february, I'm not at all surprised that some people started thinking with their dicks again.

God knows I'm certainly guilty of objectifying people every now and then... but I certainly don't lay into people like some of the people I'm sad to say I attend law school with. Again, though, it's another one of the reasons I'm glad I'm a gay man.

Gays just don't pull that kind of shit, saying that there are "only three hot guys" in their class... and even if they did... they'd almost certainly be excluding themselves... I don't know.. It'd very upsettting to me that (a) guys do this at all, (b) guys do this in law school, and (c) that it's quite possibly guys that I know.

All I know is, guys who talk that way about girls aren't very likely to find happiness (sexual or otherwise), because there'll always be a hotter girl than the one you're with... and more importantly... there'll always be a guy that she could be sleeping with who isn't a dickhead.

Wherever there's porn...

You'll find a Bard alum.

In typical blog fashion, it takes three clicks before you get anywhere... but:

Gawker hipped me to the news that they are making porn in my neighborhood.(By the way, that is a NYT article that links directly to porn).

I guess it's no surprise that they're filming porn in billyburg. you put enough 'artists' in the same area, and some of them are bound to realize that 'art' and 'masturbation' go hand in hand, as it were.

So, as a friend once said of Williamsburg: "You can't swing a dead cat in Williamsburg without hitting another Bard student ... who's also swinging a dead cat."

I guess now you can say: "without hitting another Bardian Pornographer". And maybe substituting more colorful language for the feline.
