(Ed. note: I apologize in advance for posting this. And a shout-out to Peter LaBarbera, because I'm sure he's reading.)
Mal-confidant Kevin points us to this little gem on craigslist and suggests that it isn't too late for all of us to join the "ex-gay" movement. And by "movement," I mean — ugh, never mind ...
[WARNING: No pics, but the verbiage is a bit, umm ... fetid.]
Fetid pretty much says it all...

Do you take requests for removing posts? Yeesh! That's alomost as bad as:
"Who is Ethan Gray?
The story of a guy trying to find his way around love and life in New York City, not always successfully, but funny and eloquent without fail.
Get lost in the tales a young gay man in search of romance."

To each his own. But certainly not under my roof.

Dearest Mal, thanks for raising this stink in your cyber reading room here. I guess it technically belongs in CL's M4M because he want a male human to perform these acts upon him. But seriously -- can I cancel my subscription to Gay over being associated with something this unspeakable?
To quote Samantha Jones: "Is that the dirtiest thing you've ever heard??"
(ps Tommy: aww leave Eeth alone, he's just a girl trying to find his way...)
Posted by: Kevin | May 11, 2006 at 07:32 PM
Scratch that -- I just read it again (like staring at the sun really) and saw he wants to be the one performing these acts (talk about a nasty top..) and apparently doesn't necessarily mind if its a male who is the lucky recipient of his bundle of joy...

Yah, I don't see any Homo aspect to it. Nonetheless, it is still almost as bad as:

Memo to Ethan:
First, I apologize. I was not criticizing you per se. I actually thought that quote was ad copy for a book and that Ethan was a fictional character. It was not until I later clicked on the link that I realized you are a blogging personae (and perhaps a real person). But dude, come on, IMO unless your intended audience is tweenage girls, lose the purple prose in the ad.
Sincerely,
Tommy - Athens, Greece

Here is a great little one I found on Clist yesterday too

Sorry, Red, I'm not about to cut 'n' paste it either. I'd probably be arrested within minutes! :-)

I work in Bethesda, and I find it hard to believe that it's suddenly become the scat capital of Maryland. Or anywhere. In fact, I find it hard to imagine that anything either sexual or obscene of any sort goes on here. Bethesda is remarkable only for its high concentrations of restaurants.
Anyway, as others have stated, there's nothing particularly gay about that ad. If you think that the gays are any nastier than the straights, there's a particularly unpleasant passage of Gravity's Rainbow that I'd suggest you read that deals with the same practice from a heterosexual perspective.

lol. sorry, anapestic, didn't mean to malign your hood. but Maryland can get pretty ghetto, you have to admit... ;)
and yes, straight people are just as nasty as gay people.
