Re: Genre-crossover nightmares

 

I so wish you had not reminded me that Leonard' date=' Part 6[/i'] had ever existed. Off to find the brain bleach!

 

Thanks for mentioning bleach.

 

Thanks to well-timed product placement last night I thought of a good fight.

 

Thor vs. Kenpachi Zaraki (Bleach anime)

 

All the Thor fanboys shouldnt count Kenpachi out so quickly. That dude is crazy. And a couple shots from Mjolnir is liable just to get him laughing with the excitement of it all. :doi:

For the record' date=' Oscar Wilde did a tour of the U.S., including Denver and San Fransisco. He created the modern gay male stereotype that trip (lisp, limp wrist, overly delicate, liked 'girly' things...)[/quote']

 

What, single handedly?

The story goes...

Oscar Wilde goes to the U.S., does his 'act' on stage with those elements as part of the 'act'.

Oscar Wilde gets accused in England of being a homosexual in a newspaper.

Oscar Wilde sues for libel.

At trial, newspaper proves that yes, Oscar Wilde is a homosexual.

Chain of logic follows...

Oscar Wilde acts like (X)

Oscar Wilde is known to be a homosexual.

Therefore, homosexuals act like (X).

 

But actually, Oscar Wilde's act was a exageration of a Victorian Era wealthy upper class Englishman, intended to amuse the crude Americans.

And Hilarity Ensues. Imagine a meeting between Her Majesty's Secret Service Agent Oscar Wilde (on loan to the U.S. Secret Service) and Dr. Miguelito Loveless (not that southern hack in a steampunk wheelchair).

That's not a nightmare. I would read that.[/quote

 

However, given the recent turn towards Oscar Wilde, here's one that would be both "gay" and a disaster.

 

"The Importance of Being Superman."

 

That pretty much says it all. My eyes burn just thinking about it.

That actually makes sense.

 

I'd long noticed there's a lot of overlap between those stereotypes.
