If only Ophelia had a sassy gay friend...

And here's how Romeo and Juliet would have ended.

Misogyny much ? According to this video it's ok to call women B-word, but are they also gonna use the F-word to identify homosexuals ?

@4: Actually, in the context you use it, "homosexual" is considered a slur. You've also used slurs of all sorts and frequently stoop to direct insults.

Of course, seeing that you lie about everything else, this is par for course.

Hands up anyone who's ever heard a black comic use the n-word.

Of course, if there's one thing we can say for certain about Loveschild, it's that comedy isn't something she's likely to get. Any kind of comedy.

"I can't believe you were going to get it WET!"

@ 4
Ho, hum,
The feeble minded, shifless Loves... er I mean Hateschild, always twisting things around in her/it's said feeble, shifless brain to justify her/it's hatred of FAG's... There! I said the F word! Happy now?

@4 the hatred that constantly oozes out of you is so despicable. The only reason you post here is to satisfy your lust for demeaning others.

@8 - She/he is in love with Dan, so you rarely see her on anyone else's posts. Unless you're "promoting the gay agenda" as you so obviously are here.

That is absolutely hilarious. I hope all the kids reading "Hamlet" and "Romeo and Juliet" see these.

Mary, these days we commenters are happy to help LC hijack any thread he/she/it chooses.

@13, @15, it's oh-so-painfully obvious. She's crushed to the max. Dan is all she thinks about. She has spend hundreds of hours concocting her elaborate scenarios as to how Dan got to be gay, how that could have come out differently if she'd been there to influence him, how he should respond to this that or the other thing -- she's obsessed. She hates the gay for the simple reason that it deprives her of the one key element to her fantasy -- and yet, she also craves the gay because her fantasy is about redemption and conversion back to straight. With her.

Your average stalker, in other words. Only with a forum.

Believe me, I cannot believe that I am about to write this, but I have to agree with LC (I know I KNOW!) about the misogyny. The clips were funny but the "Stupid Bitch" stuff kinda ruined them for me. I have no problem with a member of an oppressed group appropriating a slur against themselves for comic effect, (gays using the word "fag" for example) but that's not what's going on in these clips. Hell, it wouldn't have bothered me if they had just stuck with him calling the gals that to their faces in that joshing manner, but repeating "she's a stupid bitch" as an aside to the camera was creepy, and ugly. He didn't sound like a sassy friend. He sounded like he wanted to sew their skins into a coat.

Maybe we should promote the Jesus was gay agenda for LC

What if Jesus had a sassy gay friend? Or maybe he is a sassy gay friend.

you're about a month behind everyone i know on facebook with the Sassy Gay Friend love.

but I am in theatre, so that probably explains it. I played Juliet, and she pretty much IS a stupid bitch.

@26: Fact: Homosexuals enjoy words that are french or made to sound french.

For example:
-Tar-zhey (or Targét if you've managed to learn how to operate a keyboard)
-Entourage
-Frottage
-Beyoncé
-Amphetamine

I do believe you may be up to the job of leading a coterie* of gays.

*Also french-sounding

Mary P. Traverse 31
@30 Honey, I already lead a coterie of gays! (hiya G, B, T, R et al! [et al: not French, but fancy-sounding])

I am fond of referring to Value Village as the Villagio, although I got that from a sassy black girlfriend.

That second, 'she's a stupid bitch' cinched it for me. Ophelia was a stupid bitch.

I could watch the sassy gay throw that scarf over his shoulder at least 10 times and not get sick of it.

Hello, where are the English majors? Ophelia wasn't stupid, she was mentally ill. She would need a mental health professional, not sass. Also, in a prior scene she takes the herb 'rue,' an abortifacient, suggesting she was carrying Hamlet's child, which goes a long way in explaining some of Hamlet's inexplicable behavior. Finally, she doesn't jump into a brook; she climbs out on a willow tree's branch until it breaks.
