These people truly are pathetic. Steve Doocy, Gretchen Carlson and Brian Kilmeade are having a discussion about, oh my gah you guys, gender neutral housing at Grinnell College in Iowa. Instead of actually reporting the story — it has to do with special facilities that transgender students, or any students for that matter, can specifically request — they start giggling amongst themselves that ewwwww, this is weird, etc. When Brian Kilmeade says that being transgender is “in vogue, like bell bottoms!,” you are all free to slam your heads on whatever furniture happens to be nearby. Morons, all of them.
I found this video over at Videogum, where one of my favorite writers, Gabe Delahaye, had a lot to say:
Stop! Stop! Gretchen Carlson is going to break a rib! Oh, it’s too hilarious. Apparently? I mean, it’s true that these shiny pieces of human garbage can’t stop laughing, and at one point they have to stop the “reporting” because one of the cameramen is laughing? Cool cameraman. I feel like at this point in my life I know a thing or two about jokes, and I definitely don’t get it. Let’s go back over it: a group of marginalized college students, during their transition into adulthood after an entire life of self-doubt, discomfort, and social ostracization, decided that they would like to create an area on campus in which they could live in peace and feel safe and accepted in their own living quarters? No, that is f*cking hilarious. Of course, after covering the facts of this story between coughs (COUGHfaggotsCOUGH), the gang at FOX and Friends gets serious for a second to engage in what has to be the most complicated performance of facetious, fear-mongering AND hate-mongering, anti-logical rhetoric that I’ve ever seen.
And later:
What’s next? GENDER NEUTRAL DOGS MARRYING SNAKES IN THE SHOWER?
Adore him. Read it all.
The sweet thing here is that Fox, in its own backwards way, is doing a fantastic job of promoting Iowa, Grinnell, and gender-neutral housing options. Closeted kids of Fox watchers can hear that accepting environments are out there, and not just in the big cities, or just on the coasts… Iowa is even a wedding destination!
Why can’t we slam THEIR heads against a piece of furniture instead? Just askin’.
Also, what Bose said. Maybe Faux & Fiends will follow up with a report on Bloomington, IN. Eee! Homos in the <3Land!
Gender neutral housing? ZOUNDS! That never happens in real life? Only a liberal pustule like a college would propose that.
It’s not like I don’t currently share an apartment with a roomate who is a girl or anything.
(note, I am a guy. I wonder if F&F would take offence to my gender neutral name.)
I just figured it out — they’re channeling Stanley Roper circa 1976!
piece of s**t reporters. Gabe seems like a good writer though. Reminds me of Lewis Black
I’m currently working on a proposal for gender neutral housing at my university. I think some of the squeamish at the institution are afraid that parents will act like this.
