		<description>Isn&#039;t it about time that Connick Jr fesses up to the facts: 1.)He&#039;s not a native of New Orleans.  He&#039;s a native of Weston, Connecticut, where he attended public school from 1970-1982.  His picture is in all the yearbooks for those years. 2.) His father isn&#039;t the DA of New Orleans.  Connick Sr is or was one of the presidents of Sony Music and a stockholder in Sony Pictures. Hence we have his son on our television sets.  Connick Sr himself had a career in show business and even appeared in the film &#039;Let&#039;s Make Love&#039; with Y. Montand and M. Monroe.  
In such facts, Connick Jr&#039;s attention-getting antic on Australian television should be viewed as just another of his stunts to gather interest in his lackluster music and otherwise less-than entertaining show business career.  Ask yourself: After twenty odd albums, what&#039;s your favorite Harry Connick Jr song?</description>

		<description>Josh - They were being made up as African-American men. They were impersonating a specific group of people, the Jackson 5. They were not doing &quot;black face&quot; to portray themselves as African-Americans in general.</description>

		<description>Nikko: You keep saying I&#039;m a homophobic, which implies I fear homosexuals which cannot be further from the truth. Two males sexually pleasing each other cannot, by an stretch of the imagination, be considered either normal or natural. It is not normal becuase sex was designed (again either by creation or evoloution) to be between a male and female. As for nature I believe the same to be true. If it was normal and natural the species would have died out long ago.

What has caused SELF destructive behaviour and pain and suffering of gay men and women is the realization of how unnatural and abnormal they are. Those that seek help are often quite happy with the rest of their lives. To live in shame is the problem.

Having said that I also want to say that what you do in the privacy of your home is your business, not mine. It is when you bring it out into the world that I and others will get involved.</description>

		<description>MICHAEL, stop flying off the handle with your shrill homophobia. Two males sexually pleasing each other is perfectly normal and natural. To demonize this is what has caused all the pain, suffering, and  self destructive behaviour of many gay men. Enough already!</description>

		<description>Nikko: You poor pathetic faggot, I have no idea what kind of skanky unhygienic women you know, but no woman I&#039;ve ever been with had a yeast infection or urine in her vagina during sex, as for the menstrual fluid (what you&#039;re mistaking for blood) it is a natural and beautiful reminder of what sex is really all about, namely, the continuation of the human race.

I kindly suggest you get those women you refer to immediately to an OB/Gyn and have them learn about hygiene.</description>

		<description>Nikko: I have no idea what your talking about I&#039;ve had sex with women my whole adult life and have never worried about urine, yeast or blood none of which will affect a health male organ. 

Gays however are fairly limited to use of their mouths and anus&#039; as sexual receptacles and trust me swapping from the anus to the mouth will cause you more problems then any vagina I&#039;ve had the pleasure of enjoying. 

Now I understand how you may not understand how clean and healthy men and women have sex but there is nothing natural about a man sticking his penis into another man&#039;s ass/mouth. Might even be the reason there are two distinct sexes and not three or five.</description>

		<description>MICHAEL, let&#039;s see now, you &quot;natural&quot; act of sticking your penis in a vagina runs the risk of getting urine, yeast secretions, and blood discharges from the the double duty of a vagina&#039;s functions. In other words, an anus needs to be clean and prepared just as a vagina for safe, healthy sex straight or gay. So your perversion insult is nonsense.</description>

		<description>I think this post should have been pulled.  Harry Connick Jr. was not playing a Black minister in the &quot;Mad-TV&quot; Sketch.  As any Southerner could tell you -- white preachers have made fortunes for years incorporating African-American worship styles into their services.

Also -- Stuart Smalley&#039;s sexuality has never been defined.  Like another SNL character, Pat, the audience has to fill in the blanks.  To label him &quot;flaming&quot; is a bit disingenuous.  Stuart is clearly a serial consumer of self-help (and other) therapy.  He is a wee bit fey, but he would never do anything that would let his slip show. 

I&#039;m disappointed that you would take a 30+ year-old quote from a second-hand source posted on a right wing-nut site as evidence of Franken&#039;s homophobia.</description>

		<description>Rudy: You have sex with men and for all I know you had sex with boys, not claiming you have but also not saying you haven&#039;t. And you have the audacity to call a clean cut upstanding member of society like me a sick pervert. 

I&#039;ve been happily married to the same woman for close to 30 years. How many of you gays have had a partner for that long? I thought so. 

But perhaps your standards are impossibly high and to you I am a sick pervert frankly Rudy dear boy your opinion is hardly relavent. So the next time you wipe some man&#039;s shit off your cock remember heterosexuality is the norm and homosexuality is an act of perversion by the very definition of the word.</description>

		<description>LOL!  Why are so many here trying to argue with a guy who&#039;s so perverted he needs to spend hours each day on gay websites getting his rocks off then bashing non-closeted gays to assuage his guilt?  Let the sick fuck spit his bile at the wall.  The best way to hurt his kind is to leave them alone with their guilt and frustration.</description>

		<description>Merv: Let me understand correctly your saying the U.S. Military doesn&#039;t agree with moi?

The U.S. Military actually does agree with me we both hold homosexuality at the same level we hold all perversions, bestiality, pedophilia, etc. all of which will get you kicked out of the U.S. Military faster than a sniper hit.

Going on the national sexuality reference database less than 1 in 10 youths are virgins (either male or female) by the age of 13 so your claim of &quot;many 18 year old recruits&quot; are virgins the statistics, while far from perfect, don&#039;t bear out.

It is also untrue that if your heterosexual, they don&#039;t care about your past behavior, they don&#039;t care how much heterosexual encounters you&#039;ve had, but they do frown on rapists and practitioners of other &quot;non-normal&quot; sexual behaviour.

Happy to clear that all up for you.</description>

		<description>You know who disagrees with you Michael?  The US military. 

Under Don&#039;t Ask Don&#039;t Tell, the military will kick you out if you have a homosexual orientation.  It doesn&#039;t matter if you ever had gay sex, or even play to have gay sex while in the military.  Believe it or not, many 18 year old recruits, gay and straight, are virgins.

Conversely, if you have a heterosexual orientation, they don&#039;t care about your past behavior.  You could have experimented with gay sex many times (summer camp?) and they don&#039;t care.

If the gay-hating US military accepts that being gay is about orientation and not behavioral &quot;choice,&quot; why can&#039;t you?</description>

		<description>Ryan: No not like on a gay website... I was referring to my neighborhood, my schools, my workplaces and my shopping stores in other words IN PUBLIC.

I return here to correct comments made that are emailed to me. If you want me to stop returning then stop making stupid comments. Somehow I think that is beyond some of you.</description>

You mean like on a gay website with pictures of half naked men?  Is that where you &quot;have&quot; to see our &quot;perversions&quot;?  Yeah, it must be so horribly *HARD* for you to keep coming back here.  HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!</description>

		<description>You gays are really funny and not just in the funny strange way. I&#039;m the hateful one? Who exactly did I threaten? Was I the one who brought mothers into the conversation?

I go to websites that show news stories that are of interest to me if they happen to be on a gay website then that&#039;s where they are and if I think some wrong thinking needs correcting then that is what I&#039;ll do. You don&#039;t have to agree with me my goal isn&#039;t to upset you or to insult you. I only hope you keep your perversions to yourselves and not flaunt them where I or my family have to see it.

As for threatening someone I don&#039;t threaten I inform people of my intended actions I find that is always better than a threat which is often never intended to be carried out.

You truly are a pathetic bunch of cry babies and if you&#039;re going to make the choice to commit acts of perversion then you should be adult enough to take the ridicule such acts will come as a result of your choices.

You can cry about what I say you can hurl pathetic attempts to insult me and you can make outlandish claims about what I do in my personal life, these are all the actions of a weak argument and while Pugnut97 at least makes a valid and interesting statement he too resorts to insults which invalidate his point.

I&#039;m immune to your insults because to give any credence to your diatribe would be to validate your opinions in general and so far I&#039;ve seen nothing that justifies that.</description>

		<description>Hi all.  Long time lurker here.  Haven&#039;t posted in a very long time.  First of all as an Aussie I&#039;m embarrassed to see Daryl Somers back on TV full stop.  He was as a cringe inducing stale piece of toast 20 years ago.  Who the hell decided it was fit to pull him out of the bin?
And what is this Michael Letterman&#039;s  obsession with anal sex?  I mean seriously, there is more to being a gay male than anal sex.  You are such a miserable human being Michael.  And no I&#039;m not taking your bullshit personally.  I&#039;d just like to point out there is such a thing as existing in a relationship with the love of your life (as I have for the past 14 years.)  We both work very hard in our occupations, we have our home, our mortgage, our beagles, our loving families &amp; our happiness.  We support charities, we lend a hand where we can, we do our best for the environment... and we are happy.  We look forward to the future.  Will we see cars leave the ground and take to the sky?  Who knows, but one thing is certain.. We will grow old and we&#039;ll be together.  You can post all the hateful bullshit you like Michael Letterman, but unfortunately for you some of us are too busy enjoying this one stab at life we get to give a flying fuck.  Have a nice day.</description>

		<description>Michael Letterman enjoys going to gay websites with pictures of half naked men, and then he tries (successfully, unfortunately) to trick gay men into verbally abusing him. Michael has serious issues with sexuality and his ability to relate to other human beings. He obviously gets off on having gay dudes flame him. Don&#039;t give him the satisfaction. Let him go to the airport restrooms like the rest of the pathetic closet cases.</description>

		<description>Will Clemens: Brave words and ones I assure you, you would not have spoken to my face. I may not agree with voilence toward someone for their sexual choices but I would have taught you the manners you sorely lack.

Where I come from speaking out of turn about someone&#039;s mother was an act of the lowest of the low and worthy of a sound and through beating which I would be more than happy to adminsiter to you. I will be sure to run your name through Lexis/Nexis and see if I can zero in on you. If I can I will make you my personal manners project.</description>

		<description>You fags are so funny, insulting people and their mothers, do I need more proof your worthless human beings?

You choose your sexuality with your actions. If you choose to stick your penis in another man that was your choice. Just as I choose to sleep with a woman. You can prevent yourselves from having gay sex there is no imperative for you to do so. 

Why can you not accept that you choose the lifestyle you live. Who is forcing you to commit acts of perversion? Some of you may blame some childhood incident or perhaps your upbringing. I don&#039;t know but it is still your choice each and every time you commit the act.

I can understand the venom you must feel, if I was like you and someone was pointing out to me that I was doing so of my own free will I&#039;d be pissed too.</description>

		<description>I realise there is a lot already said on the topic, but please try to temper your offence and understand that this wasn&#039;t intended for American audiences.
Please don&#039;t apply your American values to this performance.
Believe it or not, Australia&#039;s cultural perspective is quite different from yours, 
despite us both being majority white, first world countries.

Red Faces is a segment from a long dead Australian variety show called Hey Hey! It&#039;s Saturday. It was designed to showcase odd, weird and wonderful Australian talent.
As such it&#039;s not supposed to be Al Franken, it&#039;s supposed to be amateur acts on par with the weird pan flute band you&#039;d see performing in malls, or that guy who can light his farts on fire - yes, it&#039;s strange, but we&#039;re Australia, we&#039;re different.

When you watch the video, you see something racially offensive, a reflection on decades of American racial tensions. 
As Australians, we just see some guys dressed up as the Jackson 5. They&#039;re not mocking them, it&#039;s just as offensive as a guy in a fat suit doing an Elvis routine. 
It&#039;s NOT intended to be racist.  It&#039;s nice to see the majority of you understand, minus the typically offended 24/7 news types. Please don&#039;t take their out of context, reactionary remarks as anything more than, for want of a better word, shitstirring.

The joke wasn&#039;t that they were Jackson 5, it was the context - it was a 20 odd year old act, being re-performed as part of a reunion show. It wasn&#039;t supposed to be cutting edge social satire. Everyone is, unfortunately, overreacting.</description>

		<description>Michael, I hope some one rapes your mother in an alley and your homeless because your mother is no longer there to keep you living in the basement that you have become so very used to.</description>

		<description>Michael... your comments are littered with ignorance. You CAN&#039;T CHOOSE YOUR SEXUALITY. Get it through your thick skull. 

What gay person have you spoken too that gives you this nonsense of an idea? 

When did you wake up and decide that you&#039;ll choose being attracted to women over men?

Educate yourself.</description>

		<description>Why is Al Franken&#039;s growth and maturity around the issue of homosexuality and equal rights painted as a bad thing? The term &quot;glass houses&quot; doesn&#039;t even apply here. SMH</description>
