Homo / Hetero The Photo That's Confusing Straight Men Across Seattle
Posted by Brendan Kiley on Thu, Jul 16, 2009 at 9:58 AM
Writes (reportedly straight) Slog tipper Ben:
pitter patter, omg, blush, me likey!
From the White House Flickr photostream: "President Barack Obama talks with Seattle Mariner Ichiro Suzuki in the American League locker room before the start of the MLB All-Star Game, July 14, 2009."

I know Obama's a lanky guy,but he's the Prez -- he should be able to get some clothes that fit. And NO MORE PLEATED PANTS. Or mom jeans.

Ben, I hate to be the one to break it to you, but if that photo gets you all hot and bothered, you're not straight.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ppb0libuN… - Ichiro meeting his hero Ken Griffey, Jr for the first time, around 7:00

I'm straight and the only thing I find confusing about this photo is why anyone - gay or straight - would be confused by it.

Ichiro said he wanted to start by saying "What's Up" to the pres but got so nervous he couldn't do it. He also visited the grave of George Sisler while in St. Louis. ESPN has the details. Great guy.

You know what else was cool that day? Ichiro greeting Jeter on the field before the game with, "What up, Baby Boy!" Priceless. In many ways, we are living in a golden age of baseball. Enjoy it.
10
seriously, how is it that the Obama ladies are always decked out in good looking threads, but the prez is allowed to ran around in those fucking barrel-legged dork jeans. please, whoever is the white house fashion consultant, the man clearly needs a little guidance.
11
I love the sportsman's ability to make otherwise heterosexual men question things. (Like what the men of Liverpool think of Fernando Torres.)
12
It's part of his cleverly honed strategy (developed in his '04 Senate run) to appeal to suburban white men.
15
Reported by whom? Ben? Just like the "reportedly straight" guys on craigslist looking for dick. PS, Ichiro Rules!!! See picture at left.

Abby, most straight men in Liverpool would bend over for Torres in a heartbeat if he promised to score a goal for them. Alas, most Scousers are unlikely to attract the attention of even gay Spaniards, let alone straight ones.
17
@16: yes, exactly. That's why he's the example. Hell, he wouldn't have to promise any of them anything. He'd just have to look at them.

Who know which two men get this straight man confused? The Keano brothers from Find! They are too fucking adorable for me to have gay sex with them. But I have a crush on them.
21
The only picture confusing straight men is the one to the right for DejaVu's Little Darlings wet tee shirt contest where the young lass doesn't have a shirt on at all. Ichiro and Barack slash fiction? Seriously? *yawn*
