Last night I was feeling pretty damned bored. I was in one of those moods where my usual entertainments felt very ‘been there/done that’. Since I can’t afford (and/or have sworn off of) any unusual entertainments at the moment, I turned in desperation to the television (Gaspers!). Of course, the few programs on that I liked were all repeats I’d seen at least a half dozen times, but then, as I delved far from my usual click pattern, I saw a show listed on the Logo channel featuring “the best in gay, lesbian, and trans gendered music videos”. I wasn’t even aware that this was a music category, so of course, I clicked in. I only caught a half hour of the show, but I enjoyed it far more than any other music television I’ve happened upon in recent memory. My favorite was an artist by the name of Josh Zuckerman and his music video for “Be Real” :

I’d never heard of this guy, but he’s really good and it turns out he’s a Jersey boy. If I had a spare $8.99, I’d download his CD from Amazon.com.

Another show Logo had on that caught my attention was ‘Alien Boot Camp‘ which is an eclectic collection of short films, animation, etc. It’s very bizarre and highly entertaining, if a bit heavy on the propaganda side. I also got a lot of entertainment from some of the commercials. There was one for a “Male Enhancement” product which had me rolling on the floor. One of the spokesmen comes on with the line, “My girlfriend gave me some (of the product) as a gift and now I’m a BIG fan”. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! The mental image I get of a guy opening that particular gift (from his girlfriend, no less!) is just priceless. If he wasn’t suffering from erectile dysfunction and/or performance anxiety before that, he sure would be afterwards. Hehehe, I can see the set up for it too. The girlfriend comes up to the guy, “Hey honey, you know how Miss Manners says that instead of telling someone they have bad breath, you should just offer them some gum? Well, in that spirit, I have something for you…..”

Oh yeah, most fun I’ve had watching television in a looong time
