Leno and the Gayest Look
I saw this story and immediately went to Jester’s site to see if he had posted about this. Apparently Leno had Ryan Phillippe on his show and made some cracks about his gig when he was younger on “One Life To Live” as a gay teenager. He asked Ryan to “Say that camera is your gay lover,” Leno prompted: “Can you give me your gayest look? Say that camera is Billy Bob [Thornton]—Billy Bob has just ridden in shirtless from Wyoming.” Phillippe declined to participate. If you want to see more on this story check out E News.
This has caused some understandable anger in the gay community and a couple of bloggers started a website called mygayestlook.com, it is pretty amusing. It is slightly slow in loading all the pics. Most are just normal, but there are a few good ones thrown in. One of my favorite is a lady in a field surrounded by Llamas and she is flipping off the camera with mittens on. That one seemed pretty bizarre.
I will admit to not being a very big Jay Leno fan to begin with, so I like this idea even more.

My name is Kelsea and I am an associate casting producer for MTV. I am currently working on casting a new docu-series and we’re looking for young adults who have really stepped up to the plate and are helping their mom out who’s going through a hard time, whether it be going back to school, full-time job or even partying too much. We really want to congratulate these teens and document what they’ve been going through on a daily basis, as well as see if we can help in some way.
MTV NETWORK is currently seeking people that…

Really I appreciate you for beginning this up. This web site is one area that’s needed online, somebody after a little bit originality. Helpful job for bringing a new challenge to the web!

Travesti ankaradakitravestiler.com Thanks much for this vital
I didn’t post about it because I gave up caring what Jay Leno has to say about 15 years ago. He’s had a history of homophobic jokes and stupid instances of opening his trap.
Also, nearly every other blogger who has anything to do with the gay community was already talking about it. I want to be a LEADER, ya know.

Jay Leno is just WAY behind the times anyway. I think he’s trying to sound hip, but he just comes off as an old guy with a disproportionately large chin.

I submitted this picture of my gayest look to the website.

Maybe it’s me, but I didn’t see it as a big deal.

I agree with Absurdist. It showed some insensitivity, but the comment doesn’t seem to be one worthy of backlash. But then again, I’m a pretty insensitive chick myself.
And I love Churlita’s comment!

Ok. I went to the mygayestlook website and I’m confused. Because I flip people off regularly, am I gay?
By liz on 2008 04 02
@ Liz I’ve been meaning to talk to you about this for awhile now… I’m afraid you may have contracted the Gay while talking to Jester over the phone last year. You need to go get tested.

Jester:
I knew I was probably going to be behind on this one. I should never rely on E News to keep me ahead of the game.
Churlita:
Yeah, I don’t care much for Leno, and really am also tired of Letterman. I am a Conan fan.
Othurme:
Wait...now you’ve offended my Catholicness. Oh wait, I’m not catholic. You’ve offended my old dudeness.
Absurdist:
It must be you...actually I don’t see it as offensive, and I am definitely not a very culturally sensitive person. I just liked the idea of the website and the lady flipping the bird with the Llamas.
Liz:
I forgot to mention that Churlita offended my large body partness. I have a protruding brow and feel a kindred spirit to Leno’s huge chin.
Liz:
I have always said you a gay man trapped in a woman’s body.
Othurme:
Personally I take large doses of Vitamin C and Chewing Tobacco whenever I am going to be talking to Jester. You can never be too careful.

Has Leno started making “Brokeback Mountain” jokes yet? With his patterns of being late to the game and giggling at homosexuality, we should be right on time!
