    I am sure glad Wiegel landed on his feet with scoring a job at such a classy news outlet.

  9. Clich? Bandit   15 years ago

    What kind of an asshole assumes this out of the context:

    "I've fallen," he tells them, referring to the ice, not sin.

    Seriously, if you are writing this article then YOU SHOULD KNOW HE IS AN ICE SKATER!!!!

    p.s. yes I know of him, yes I have seen him, yes i gave my testicles to my wife 5 years ago, WTF is your point.

    1. Irresponsible Hater   15 years ago

      Thank you. I read this post, and the comments until here, thinking the article was about the actor that played Mr. Roeper, on Three's Company. And as I read this, yes, I realize he's long dead but still, how the hell am I supposed to know who some ice skater is?

    Correction, Aug. 2, 2010: The original version of this piece said that Johnny Weir is openly gay. He is not.

    Because he's in The Nile.

    The original version of this piece said that Johnny Weir is openly gay. He is not.

    1. The Art-P.O.G.   15 years ago

      *props*

    2. Tulpa   15 years ago

      Clenched.

  13. Ken Shultz   15 years ago

    He may not be openly gay, but he has done extremely well in an openly gay sport.

  14. Seinfeld   15 years ago

    The original version of this piece said that Johnny Weir is openly gay. He is not.
    Not that there's anything wrong with that.

  15. Episiarch   15 years ago

    Meatwad: It's OK, Shake, because whoever you decide that you are, I still gonna love you. But just not in a gay way, because God makes all people in different sizes and shapes and problems, but he only makes the people he hates gay. That's you. You it, boy. You gay!

    Master Shake: No, I'm not! You don't know me! (runs off upset)

    Meatwad: Hey Frylock, what does that gay mean?

    1. Kant feel Pietzsche   15 years ago

      Your encyclopedic knowledge of sophomoric comedy dialogue concerns me at times...

      1. Kant feel Pietzsche   15 years ago

        He said, as he prepared to watch the Philadelphia marathon on CS this evening...LOL

        1. Episiarch   15 years ago

          Charlie: All right, uh, later, dudes. "S" you in your "A"s. Don't wear a "C," and "J" all over your "B"s. (he leaves)

          Mac: Why would he not wanna "C"...

          Dennis: I don't even know what he's talking about half the time, bro.
