True Blood... why have I not heard about this? Hilarious clip!

Oh, and as for the British flexer? Over-developed and WAY too self-absorbed.
Anyone who looks at himself that much doesn't have enough time to appreciate someone else.

True Blood is a riot. But I'm sad about Lafayette.

Poor wittle mormons. People don't seem to wike them vewy much these days, do they?
I, for one, am very proud of GLBT people and our allies for standing up for ourselves. I hope the good fight continues, and that the mormons and catholics look back on their actions during the prop 8 debacle with profound regret. They deserve to suffer years of debilitating backlash at the very least.
Keep up the fight.

Watching Tricia is like watching a car wreck, you just know it's wrong but you can't help yourself. Man what a whack job. I'm sure that's why the old man married her, so she could give him some good spankings.

I agree muscle head has done too many steroids, and looks into too many mirrors, shame because he has a pretty face.

And CRISPY, hang in there, I don't think we've seen the last of Lafayette. My guess is it was not a vampire killing, maybe a shape shifter attack, so he could be around season 2.

Why the muscle obsession? It makes me think that this blog is not at all dissimilar to most run-of-the-mill gay sites that perpetuate the hyper-masculinized ideal that 99% of us can't even quite come close to achieving. Believe me, I understand the onanist imnpulses behind it, but really now, ENOUGH OF THE GYM QUEENS!!!

I cannot believe that Brook is 35. It just doesn't make sense.
Posted by: Nick | Dec 4, 2008 5:51:02 PM
I, for one, love watching the British flexer, and this video especially because he spoke. I don't think he is on steroids because he isn't carry much (any) water weight. Clearly he might be too self-absorbed to be boyfriend material, but he is nice to look at!
Posted by: Dan B | Dec 4, 2008 5:52:31 PM
Adam does not do steroids, if he did he'd be twice the size. We're just too used to seeing people with big bellies or the form of a 13 year old (shapeless) to know what a body looks like when it's trained hard and regularly. Plus he's what 25.

Re: flexer
More gluteus work, and show the results...

I just don't get why people are claiming Prop 8 will be bad for the Mormons. Lots and lots of Americans hate us just as much as the LDS, and more than a few of them are willing to vote in such ways as to take away or refuse to extend rights to us. We live in an anti-gay nation, and the LDS is just one facet of that.

Brook would have been fine acting-wise, but her accent is weak. She keeps saying things correctly!
And Lafayette is not pronounced dead yet! All we saw was a foot!
Posted by: Joseph Nobles | Dec 4, 2008 11:01:49 PM
Speaking wholly for myself, I think TPTB made the correct choice in recasting Tara, even as hilarious as Brook is in that particular scene.
Posted by: Jerry | Dec 5, 2008 12:08:19 AM
I've watched all True Blood episodes online from the begining and I didn't know this was an unaired pilot. It took me a while to get use to the new tara who I like but I really liked Brook

MAJEFF, you seem to be confusing America with another country. We are a country founded on the principles of life, liberty, and justice for all.
I don't see room for an "anti-gay" America in that.
Posted by: Steve | Dec 5, 2008 5:02:03 AM
No, Steve, I'm not confusing America with another country. We live in an anti-gay nation.
Posted by: MAJeff | Dec 5, 2008 6:34:44 AM
Yep, you're definitely confused. As assigned reading you should read the declaration of independence and the constitution again.
Posted by: Steve | Dec 5, 2008 8:39:38 AM
You're funny, Steve.
Posted by: MAJeff | Dec 5, 2008 8:50:49 AM
You've forgotten what this country stands for, Majeff.
Posted by: Steve | Dec 5, 2008 9:27:48 AM
True Blood is going to be as big if not bigger than Six Feet Under. I cannot wait for next season and I will repeat, we only saw Lafayette's foot in the car. He is too dynamic of a character for us to be seeing his exit this early. My guess is that he has been made or just bled a little...he will be back in season II no doubt.

I love Tricia Walsh-Smith!!! What else can I say?? What a great video!
