as a follow up to my post about sexual orientation and categorization and such

i wanted to say that for the few minutes that i accidentally landed on this show on vh1 -- i was appalled by the tone and implications presented. i'm emphasizing heavily that i only watched the show for about 5 minutes and so i don't really know what went on the whole time -- but the portion that i did see talked about the "gaying" of straight boys -- using such devious and unnatural evidence such as attention to personal grooming (gasp). the "gaying" also seemed to be presented as a very negative trend in current society.

i find it also curious that this description of the show mentions that the show will look at how these, supposed, changes impact ordinary people's lives. it was clear to me from the portion that i viewed, at least, that by ordinary they meant straight. and, probably, male.
