"Did You Know What You Were Sitting On?"

Meredith Vieira needs to keep her mind out of the gutter - and the anus. The Today show host hosted Jake Gyllenhaal this morning to hype his new movie, Rendition.

Naturally, a conversation about torture slid into a queer exchange about Brokeback Mountain:

MV: Talk about movies with a heart: Brokeback Mountain. Did you have any idea when you were making that what you were sitting on, so to speak? So to speak - I probably shouldn't use that term, actually. I apologize.

JG: Wow! Uh -

MV: You make this movie and - wow - I'm sorry…

JG: Very well put, Meredith.

Huh? We don't get it…Oh, because he gets fucked in the butt in Brokeback…sitting on…oh, Vieira, you clever, nasty bird!

Maybe because the movie took place in the early '60?

Well, to be fair, it did take place from 1963 to 1983. I think most people with half a brain cell to spare can understand that there weren't the same precedents back then.

But why do you care, Ms. AIDS Denialist? Oh, wait, you don't. I'll leave you to your baiting.

'New Diseases' that have become goldmines:
Alzheimers, "HIV/AID$", "Bird Flu", what can be the next scam they come up with?

Ugh - isn't there another Queerty post about gay people not being able to take a joke? It was a sex joke, that's all. Viera is not homophobic and neither is Jake.

Honestly, I thought it was funny. Nothing wrong with sex jokes.
