Now John Mayer Chimes in on Isaiah Washington
Everybody's offering their $.02 on what should be done about Isaiah Washington, including John Mayer, who suggests on a blog entry today that rather than fire Washington, the show's writers should out his character Preston Burke as a gay man.
He even offers up a few possible scenes. Here's one of them:
CUT TO:
STAGE
(The band plays the final exciting beats of "Kiss You Off". Jake Shears, The SCISSOR SISTERS lead singer [himself] takes the mic.)
JAKE:
Thank you very muuuuuuch Seattle!!! This next song is called "I Don't Feel Like Dancing"and tonight, we want to send this song off to a very special man in the crowd, Preston Burke, webmaster of the biggest SISTERS fan site, idontfeellikedancing.com!!! Thanks Preston! The tea cookies you left backstage were deeelish!!!
(CROWD APPLAUDS WILDLY WHILE THE BAND LAUNCHES INTO THEIR HIT SINGLE. PRESTON, now downright sheepish, grabs his coat and small pleather DKNY bag, fumbling towards the exit.)
BURKE:
I think I left a scalpel in that mime today. See ya!!!
And....scene.
Wow, that was mental masturbation if I ever read it. I feel sorry for you. If I am so vapid why am I a PhD student at Columbia in social organizational psych? (Hint: I have a valid Columbia U email address and Columbia does not accept part-time students without full acceptance) Sadly, I do not read People, but I am certain the millions of subscribers with college educations and masters and doctorates would be flattered to know you stereotype all people who do into a category of insipid morons. I find it interesting that you have chosen to single my post out of all the previous posts as "vapid" even though there was nothing legitimately "vapid" about it. In fact, nothing I wrote referenced People magazine or any analogous publication. You know nothing of my "heroes", or of me as you have stated, yet you find it appropriate to make sweeping generalizations regarding my character and intellect based on a silly response to a pop-culture news item posted by Andy Towel. I am greatly bewildered as to why you read this "vapid" article and its subsequent comments if this news is so beneath you. I also might add that your insults regarding the "vapid" nature of this news indirectly extend to Mr. Towle, as it is his posting we are commenting on.
Your pseudo intellect doesn't impress me and I am hardly insulted by your flippant, misguided commentary. If anything, you seem to be a very sad little person with a great deal of insecurity and passive-aggressive behavior. Your trite comments are amusing, as is your pathetic ersatz intellect, thank for the laugh. In all sincerity, if you ever need professional help (and it is painfully apparent you do), I can recommend colleagues and professionals who may be more than able to help you with your personal problems. Just say the word. As it appears you are looking for an argument to get your rocks off, I’m not wasting my time on you again. If we did meet in person, something tells me I could snap you in half, and don’t try to grandstand by stating you would say it to my face, you’re still not even using your real name. Go back to your parents’ basement and mental masturbate with someone who cares. Now if only I could get the five minutes back it took me to educate you on human decency and respect...
PS: “I have always found that those who are vapid tend to be attracted to same. Should I be accused of being hateful for recognizing this oh so prevelent distinction within the gay community, then so be it.”
For starters, it’s prevalent. Secondly, nice insult to the gay community, do you even know what you wrote? Lol

Cory, threatening violence is probably not a treatment your colleagues at Columbia would recommend.

JMG: Not a threat, just a promise. =) Besides, something tells me psychological treatment is beyond this individual, and a good old fashioned whooping wouldn't hurt...
