My favorite t-shirt of the week

Man, I had a good chuckle when I saw this.

I’m not a fan of Scientology, not a fan of Tom Cruise, but I love a good moral, pointed t-shirt.

Did you see that episode of South Park about Scientology? Tom Cruise ends up in one of the kid’s closets and everyone ends up chanting “Come out of the closet, Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise, come out of the clost! Come out now!” etc. Hysterical.

Then, John Travolta decides to go into the closet to get Tom and everyone starts shouting for HIM to come out of the closet too.

And some rap star who I forget. If you know, leave me a comment, I hate not knowing this stuff.

Anyway, this shirt is great, I wish I had one. Anybody know where to buy one online? I’d almost pay good money for it, just for the humor factor.

I love that Tom’s face is distorted (because the guy is turning) but it adds to the whole effect I think.

I’m easily amused right now. Here’s the blog it originally came from: http://dlisted.blogspot.com/2006/06/jenna-elfman-is-crazy.html

Nick Lachey: "I’m Not Gay"

Nick Lachey: “I’m Not Gay”: “Nick Lachey was ‘shocked’, according to reports, when a ‘cheeky’ fan suggested he give up on women and try dating men.

Said Lachey: ‘I was asked if I’d ever consider playing for the other team, which was a ‘Ooh, I’m not expecting that one.’ I answered it, ‘While I respect the other team and recognise that there is another team and they too play ball, I am not interested in playing for the other team.”

Sure, but will you practice with them? Throw a few passes?

All I can say is that if you know the answer, explaining which team you play for shouldn’t be as complex a ritual as attending the NFL draft.

Gay Rugby Icon Ian Roberts in Superman Returns

Gay Rugby Icon Ian Roberts in Superman Returns: “

Kudos to Bryan Singer for offering gay rugby icon-turned actor Ian Roberts a Hollywood break, though his casting in Superman Returns does little to quash the movie’s gay vibe. Roberts, who has been in the news recently for his appearance at a recent inquest in the murder of Arron Light, says he’s thrilled about his stint as a henchman to Kevin Spacey’s Lex Luthor.

He’ll head to L.A. for the movie’s June 21 premiere: ‘I’m just getting so excited about the trip [to LA] now, it’s going to be the absolute highlight of my career.’

And just for the record, here’s one of the most well-known pin-ups of the hunky Ian Roberts.

And a particularly relevant shot follows after the jump…

The Fabulous Adventures of Captain Queer

The Fabulous Adventures of Captain Queer: “

Gay superheroes are really hot right now. The SF Chronicle profiles Prince Gomolvilas, whose new play, The Fabulous Adventures of Captain Queer, takes no prisoners in that area.

In Gomolvilas’ play, Captain Queer must contend with Reginald Screamingbottom, the leader of an ex-gay ministry, and Screamingbottom’s sidekicks, Dr. Octopussy and Nazi war criminal Gustav Lederhosen.

Gomolvilas won’t give up all the play’s secrets, however, particularly the ones surrounding his hero’s special powers: ‘You just have to mull over, what kind of powers could a radioactive ladybug pass on to somebody?’

Gomolvilas recently adapted Scott Heim’s Mysterious Skin for the stage. The Captain Queer play evolved from a suggestion he got from New Conservatory Theatre Center’s artistic director Ed Decker. With Superman Returns on the summer docket, the idea couldn’t be more prescient:

‘Gomolvilas thinks the idea of a secret identity also takes on a particular resonance in the gay community, in which so many people have at one time or another felt they had”

Des Moines, Iowa: Flood Control or Anatomy Lesson?

Des Moines, Iowa: Flood Control or Anatomy Lesson?: “

You’ve gotta think the engineers had a good laugh about this one.

‘The nearly four-acre basin was constructed about two years ago and ‘took some of the load off of the pipe downstream’ and helps prevent flooding, according to Des Moines City Engineer Jeb Brewer.

Brewer swears that consultants who work for the city did not design the $5.7 million detention basin to resemble anything, but recent e-mails to City Hall from area residents seem to have found ‘art’ in the not-so-subtle phallic design.’
