I'll be on Red Eye tonight with one of those people who comments on Ashlee Simpson's outfits in US Weekly and Greg Plitt. I encourage you to google the latter. The show starts at 3am on Fox News.

    I encourage you to google the latter.

    Thanks, Kerry--now I feel uncomfortably gay.

  2. Hasty pudding   17 years ago

    I overlooked the black typeface at the end of your first sentence and expected to see Ashlee Simpson's outfits. Maybe I did?

    I suggest switching to boxer-briefs, and using the occasional shot of baby powder.

    Then you can feel comfortably gay.

  4. GILMORE   17 years ago

    Ok, I clicked the link and I now understand why you felt gay.

    Me, he's not my type. Too queeny.

  5. TLB   17 years ago

    Odd how this site hasn't discussed attempts to shut down Fox. I guess RG's a friendly or something.

  6. GILMORE   17 years ago

    TLB | March 31, 2008, 4:16pm | #

    Maybe because everything you find interesting, everyone else thinks is fucking stupid.

    Food for thought.

  7. Episiarch   17 years ago

    "Let's go watch some gay porn so we can get our hate back."

  8. Female lurker   17 years ago

    Thanks Kerry

  9. Santorum   17 years ago

    "I encourage you to google the latter"

    What a fuckin' capon!

  10. smacky   17 years ago

    meh.

  11. Frank N Stein   17 years ago

    I feel a little guilty; I used to watch the show when it first aired, and even sent them emails begging them to get rid of lunatic Rachel Marsden (which they did!). But then they went the typical neocon route, bashing Ron Paul, and I stopped watching. But maybe I'll let Tivo make an exception tonight.

    When you are on, see if you can explain to them that not wanting to invade every country in the Middle East is not equivalent to isolationism.

  12. Rimfax   17 years ago

    Kerry, you gotta warn a fella about links like that! Like a "(kind of NSFW)" tag or something.

    Episiarch, are you sure you didn't accidentally drink some Gay Powerthirst?

  13. Warren   17 years ago

  14. Episiarch   17 years ago

    Rimfax, I can't be watching a video at work but I'll assume it's funny.

  15. Variation on 7-year locust,   17 years ago

    Y'know, I don't have to accept every invitation to watch something...

  16. Rimfax   17 years ago

    I get the impression that part of the Red Eye formula is the hot and funny, female conservative. Marsden covered that until, it appears, she showed her true colors (personality, not politics) and they had to escort her out. (See the refs detailing her history on her Wikipedia page.) Kerry appears to be her replacement in the formula, even though she's about as conservative as Boortz is libertarian.

  17. Rimfax   17 years ago

    Episiarch,

    I can't either. I did a site search, so I'm going on faith (hail, Google) that this is the right video.

    They use the phrase "uncomfortably gay" prominently, so I thought that you might have seen it. It is best viewed as a followup to the "Powerthirst" video. Both are exceptionally funny.

  18. BarnicleBoy   17 years ago

    Kerry is certainly more charming than Rachel Marsden, as is, well, almost everybody. The Aynrandian hairdo is very cute. Red Eye, however, is completely unwatchable. (Thanks, Rimfax, for the tip to Marsden's Wikipedia page. Looks like every guy she dates ends up regretting ever having met her.)

  19. Orange Line Special   17 years ago

    Episiarch: if that link above makes you uncomfortable, this NSFW one will straighten things out for you.

  20. the critic   17 years ago

    Once again, I must remind everyone: Red Eye is the best show on television. Miss it at your expense.

  21. GILMORE   17 years ago

    the critic | March 31, 2008, 5:58pm | #

    Once again, I must remind everyone: Red Eye is the best show on television. Miss it at your expense.

    Editors Note: "The critic" has access to only one channel, and is only able to watch television at 3AM on weeknights, due to requirements related to his job as a garbage collector, and his epilepsy, which is provoked by extended exposure to anything other than trite soundbytes

    Orange Line Special | March 31, 2008, 5:44pm | #

    You know, normally I'd have to go out of my way to inform people that Lonewacko has a special place in his pea-sized heart for Chicks With Dicks; he fortunately saves me the effort on this and many other occasions.

    It really doesnt surprise anyone

  22. Zach   17 years ago

    Why Red Eye hasn't been canceled yet is something science cannot fully explain.

  23. emerson   17 years ago

    Zach,
    Maybe because it costs less to make than a Hot Pocket.

    Red Eye isn't the best show on TV, but it's the best show on that channel.

  24. Rimfax   17 years ago

    ...who comments on Ashlee Simpson's outfits....

    ...and Patricia Arquette's. Please someone tell me why Patricia and her sister keep getting cast with major roles. They are awful. Patricia actually made "Little Nicky" even worse than it already was. On the rare instances that they get into decent movies, they all but ruin them single-handedly. "The Big Blue" ("Le Grand bleu" on imdb) is one example of an excellent movie almost ruined by Rosanna.

  25. Rimfax   17 years ago

    Lonewacko, you are a dick (without a chick). And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

  26. the critic   17 years ago

    Please someone tell me why Patricia and her sister keep getting cast with major roles.

    They have big tits and exude sexuality.

    Okay, emerson, your statement is more accurate than my hyperbole. But you gotta admit, Red Eye occupies a special niche.

  27. johncjackson 3rd   17 years ago

    Ok, Now Im trying to explain to my wife that Im not gay.

  28. GILMORE   17 years ago

    johncjackson 3rd | April 1, 2008, 11:43am | #

    I know of one 'explanation' that works pretty well.

    requisite = "bow chicka wow-wow"

    for reference purposes =
