Slog - Comments on Donnie "God Hates a Fag" Davies: This Just In! http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/01/donnie_davies_this_just_in Donnie Davies has posted a new video on his website—and in it he thanks Andrew Sullivan. He calls Andrew a "great Christian man," which is an odd thing for an ex-gay fundy to call an openly gay Catholic and the nation's most prominent supporter of same-sex marriage. Donnie also thanks Andrew for taking time out to condemn YouTube for pulling his video, which I don't believe Andrew actually did. Hm... And Donnie has lost his mustache. Here's his latest video on YouTube... Hmmm.... But Donnie maintains that he's for real, CHOPS is for real, and that we should keep checking...

And how I was on my knees in worship, blowing on the trumpet of the Lord! I told Donnie how I could feel his love fill me up as I listened to Jesus talking to me through his wonderful music. Then that bitch never e-mailed me back. I got news for him, I was the best damn looking alter boy at St. Mary's Church.... wait I said too much......

The reason I ask this is because they keep popping up in the news regarding the Isaiah Washington use the 'f' word (rhyms with maggot) and the "national groups" that are (??) representing LBGTs keep meeting with him to offer help in educating the public about the cruelty of such words. Any word if they are interested in anything else???

My point is that, words only have the power we give them, otherwise they are just a grouping of letters. Maybe I am just too relaxed about terms, but it seems better to me then getting angry or hurt by them...

Amazing, isn't it?

Your average Fundamentalist wouldn't know an innuendo from an intimation, or an allusion from an aspersion. These people take the word of God, the word of man, literally. Mention 'end zone' 'tight end' 'full back' to these folks, and you can ONLY be talkin' football...

You've discovered a magical land where it's forever 1995 and the AOLers are groping around endlessly with terms like "satire" and "parody" and "hoax" because they don't believe in trolls.


Who would have guessed The Gays would be so completely oblivious to such a long-standing subcultural phenomenon? And post-Borat, too!


Well played, sir. Very well-played indeed.

I was also somewhat directing it to silverttail's comment.

I mean, there's NO way that it can be real... but he sure has gone to a lot of trouble to prove that it's not.

If it IS real.. which I highly doubt, he's the most clueless guy I've ever met. If it's fake.. he seems to be taking the joke a bit too far to the point that it's stopped being funny and started to be kinda creepy.

Either way, I'm sure he'll be famous for as long as Borat, and by 2010 he'll just be another Trivial Pursuit question.

In some cases he says "Davies," but other times, he pronounces it more like "Davis." Leads me to believe that he's playing a character, or at least not using his own last name.

I really, really want to know if it's a joke or not. If it were real, why wouldn't he address all the YouTube comments left by people who were certain it was a joke?

The most recent video posting that Jim mentions starts with a pan (giving us a shot of Donnie's crotch no less)- a pan with a CRANE, no less.

This is way beyond your wacky Pentecostal preacher on your local access channel - this is someone who knows (or who has hired someone who knows) how to make a movie.
