FOX's Moment Of Truth Is Basically A Hate Crime

FOX's Moment of Truth returns to television tonight, and if this preview clip is any indication, it's another victory for fans of homophobia.

"Oh man, I am so nervous. I hope my best friend isn't a homo. That would be such horrible news. He probably has a huge crush on me and it's only his respect for the boundaries of our friendship, which probably means a lot to him because he's so gay, that has kept him from anally raping me, which is what all the gays do, I know it. I hate him. I hate him no matter what the answer is. Look at his girlfriend. She's so nervous too because she's about to be made to look like someone who loves gay people. She is gay. I hate her for helping him to fool me into thinking he wasn't gay, which he is, which is so gross. The real question now is not whether or not my former-best-friend has lived in fear of my close-minded hatred towards homosexuals for decades to the point of keeping his true self hidden from me, but whether or not through my careless friendships I have unwittingly supported the idea that homosexuals were equals in our society and should not be judged by their sexual orientation, which they should. My only hope at this point is that the FOX broadcasting network will have the courage to use this homophobic clip to promote the show so that more people can see this and understand how horrible gay people are when they tell you they are gay for the first time."

Ugh. I hate people who hate gays for no reason. Not that anyone has a reason.

The President of Showbusiness paid me money to watch this entire episode tonight. At one point they ask "Have you ever watched more than one minute of a gay porn?" (Edgy.) The guy answers "Yes" (no big deal, probably just seeing if he knew anybody in it) but then the show (un)suspensefully drags out revealing whether he's lying or not. While they show his nervous friend, girlfriend and mother anxiously awaiting the truth. Why are they nervous? He has already said yes. Are they nervous he might be lying about watching a minute of gay porn? Because that'd be really weird to give up 10,000 dollars just to pretend you are gay for 10 seconds? I was really confused. I guess that'd be a funny joke though.
