Okay. So here's my thing about Andy Cohen.
First of all, you need to know that I think he's hot.
However! He's all over everything. Look, dude. You're an executive. Do your job. Make shows. I don't need to see you on TV. I don't care how hot you are.
And the fact that he wears all of his shirts open? Showing every last chest hair?
Like I said, I think the man is attractive. I welcome seeing his chest hair. I LOVE chest hair. But he just throws that shit around like it's the second coming of Christ. And I believe that if Jesus really exists and is coming back, he's not going to flash his chsesticles like that. I'm just sayin'.
So, Andy Cohen, call me. We'll have dinner. Maybe a little slap and tickle. But don't promote your shows like a fucking "Price Is Right" showgirl.

How Gay Is That?
For this, my inaugural post, I've decided to discuss my favorite topic: The Gays.
I recently came upon a post on Past Deadline* about gay-friendly companies. (Here's the full report, if you're interested.) Bravo is, apparently, the gay-friendliest. You won't hear any arguments from me on that one. And I'll save my rant about programming veep Andy Cohen for a later date.
What did surprise me, however, was the absence of ABC/Disney. From daytime to primetime, ABC is chock full of gay, lesbian and transgender characters. And Disney, evil corporation though it may be, is the most overtly homo-happy company there is. If I were to have taken that poll, Disney would have been the first name to trip from my tongue.
So, really, it seems to me that Bravo has been promoting itself pretty hard. (As opposed to Disney stepping back a bit.) No doubt, Andy "Chest Hair Forward" Cohen had something to do with that. But, again, that's another post for another time.
*If you don't know about Past Deadline, I suggest you familiarize yourself with it right quick. Unfortunately, Ray Richmond doesn't post as much as he used to, but when he does, it's hilarious and insightful. Barry Garron is pretty entertaining, as well, but Ray really is the king.
