NC watched out for the giant flying co*k just as Blade did when it came to Hordak's Di**ocopter.
That Star Wars Christmas Special is going to be a trial to do.

Ok I love most of Doug's work but I have to say a couple of things about this... How are gay jokes funny? Did I grow up in a different generation because to me it's not politically correct to make fun of some one's sexual preference. Now I'm not denying there might be some symbolism in He-Man or the premise of the character (a bit like Xena and lesbianism) but how exactly is it comedic gold? It's funny to be gay so any symbolism towards that preference is hilarious? Yet in every other review he feels inclined to mention how hot actresses get (Full House review) or how it helps movies to have hot chicks in them? Finally who gives a s*** if a character has underlying gay overtones, it's not evil or going to corrupt the minds of little idiots. Doug himself pointed this out when mentioning Ren and Stimpy and their interaction with each other, it didn't matter and the creator himself said it wouldn't matter either way. A lot of internet critics have made PC f*** ups like this especially Spoony, British accents = Gay, and I'm really tired of it. Unless you have a sense of humor I can't possibly understand, there isn't anything about sexual preference to ridicule or belittle. Ok so may be I'm going over the top here about an internet comedy review and I do apologize if I have taken some of his comments out of context but this review and to a lesser extent the Masters Of The Universe review are really offensive to me. The thing is, I don't take it as him ragging on homosexuality as a whole, he's ragging on unintentional (or possibly intentional, who knows) homo-eroticism in supposedly hetero-based media. I look at it this way, there's gay:  And then there's Hollywood stereotype gay:  And, atleast to me, he's poking fun at the later of the 2 EDIT: Hell, most of the time it's just a gay version of Michael Scott's "That's What She Said..." joke |

As a huge fan of Masters of the Universe, I was ready for non-stop political humor as well as the tired old gay jokes. I was ready to hate and despise this review and tear Doug a new one. However, I'm actually very surprised and happy with it! I think it was rather well done, and I actually felt the gay jokes were kind of kept to a minimum. I totally see your point, but I'm not angered nor offended by the review. It was well done and very funny in my opinion. |

No need to apologize sir, it's an internet forum. You gave your opinion, we gave ours. No flaming ensued so I'd call this mini-debate a success!!!  EDIT: Upon review, a mild amount of flaming ensued, but it was more rubbing 2 sticks together then holding a lighter to a gas can so I'm still gonna call it a success  |
