First Time Censorship

Celebs and Media

I was asked to change my latest Torontoist article from a request to an “observation”

Here’s the Torontoist article.

Here’s what I originally wrote:

Hey there George Stroupo… George Stoppogrop… George Stroumboulopoulis (lordy, there’s a candidate for taking your partner’s name in marriage), in shocking us with your return to the Ceeb, you proudly boast getting a Prince Albert this summer. What? The L.A. producers didn’t think you were edgy enough? In keeping with journalistic integrity, this Torontoist (and most of the queer community) wants proof! You can’t just ‘say’ you got it done, you have to back up what you say on TV. Especially if it’s the CBC and some of our tax money went into poking holes in Lil’ Georgie. Especially if you’re going to make that awful “I’m a widdle stinka” face at the camera.

Send us a JPG! We promise not to laugh

Does that make me an established writer yet?

    bah. better some dick-talk than observing the same sad alpha male read what passes for news while the fembots and emasculated backup males grin like idiots and tell us all about the weather and what steroid-addled lab experiments have excreted lately.

    “established” maybe, “put upon and stiffled” definitely.

    While the thought of men popping holes in their penises is not appealing to me, I’ve gotta say that ad worked for me. (feel free to shake your head in dissapointment)

    I’m loving the last comment on that post, accusing me of being in grade 1. Sure potshots at people’s names is easy. I actually respect George for keeping his name in the face of celebrity, but as soon as news journalists starts talking about their dicks, then I lose that respect.

    hmm…checking your blog at 10:00pm on a saturday night eh? seems like i’m not the only one without a life… 😉

    It’s measley. And I’m kidding around. I couldn’t care less if George S staples his ears together, I just hated the look he gave the camera at the end of the commercial.
