It's Friday, reader. You know what that means - it's Queerty ReBUTTal time! Yay!

You guys did super with the comments. Really. Just super - lisp and all. While we have plenty of thoughts on your thoughts on our thoughts, we're switching it up these week. As you're well aware, we've just kicked off The Style Issue.

Before things go too far, however, we'd like to have a brief look back on some of our other issues and some of the bits that didn't make it. Take a look at some unpublished excerpts, after the jump.

Another week complete, readers! To those of you who survived intact, well done. To those of you who didn't...well, we're sorry to hear that. We'll keep things rockin' down here until we see you on the flip side.

Now, for those of you launching into a weekend, already on your weekend and even those of you who have to work through the weekend (poor saps), we'd like you to take a second to read our comments on your comments on our earlier comments. That's right! It's Queerty ReBUTTal time!!!

And, as always, we have some surprises for you, including a random movie reference and a very special message from a celebrity who puts the fun in fundamentalism!

We've had our fill of Queerty ReBUTTal today, so rather than commenting on your comments on our comments, we've decided to post some scenes from Nighty Night.

The dark (very dark) British comedy centers around a woman named Jill Tyrrell (Julia Davis)struggling with her husband's cancer struggle. How does this crass hairdresser cope? She tells everyone he's dead and hits the dating scene. We told you it was dark. And hilarious.

(This is especially dedicated to those of you who have questioned our sense of humor.)

Despite our tagline (a catchy slogan at best, a marketing gimmick at worst), Queerty does not have an agenda beyond "entertain and inform our readers." That's true for Queerty, and the three other sites under the Jossip Initiatives umbrella.

Most of our readers understand as much. That's why they continue coming back. Michael Lucas, of porn company Lucas Entertainment, doesn't understand our appeal or our mission, which is made evident by his column in this week's New York Blade, where he goes on the attack against this site, myself, and Queerty's editor Andrew Belonsky.

It was a welcome surprise.

Despite the numerous emails and marketing materials we regularly receive from Michael, his business associates, and his company – evidence of a courtship, it might seem, or at least hopes of a marketing relationship – Michael claims he doesn't like this site.

That we regularly discuss Michael on the blog is evidence of his mark on gay culture. As he'll be the first to tell you (as he does with us, so I'm paraphrasing here), he started his business from the ground up, leveraged his porn career into a level of status among mainstream media, and speaks three languages. (Perhaps building my business from the ground up and leveraging my media rants into a level of status among mainstream media will forever be overshadowed by my only speaking 1.5 languages.)

Alas, his accomplishments deserve recognition.

They also make him a public figure.

And like Rosie, Lance, Reichen, and Ellen, gay public figures draw Queerty's attention — our praise, and our criticism. If we disallow the mainstream media from poking fun at or criticizing members of our own – they'd receive a stern letter from any number of gay rights organizations – who should have that right but the gay community itself? And while Queerty does not, by any measure, attempt to speak for the entire gay community, we're certainly a part of it, and command our say.

Alright, you guys know what's up - it's Friday, which means that we've gone through each and every comment and picked a few of the brightest gems.

Experience our top five faves, after the jump. (It's worth mentioning that the last one's by far our favorite favorite.)

There were so many comments this week that we don't even know where to begin with this week's Queerty ReBUTTal. So, rather than offending someone by not picking their comment - they were really all lovely, thank you - we're using this space to feature an electronic exchange between ourselves and a reader.

The topic? Alexis Arquette. We won't give away the details, but we will say the reader blows up Arquette's spot, if you know what we mean...

Lack of time and an abundance of server problems prevent me from doing a point-by-point rundown and recap of the week's posts and all of the insightful commentary that resulted, but that kind of closure was always more Andrew's style, anyway (fear not, Queerty readers—he'll be back from Argentina tomorrow). A general mea culpa seems more appropriate...

It's Friday, kids. You know what that means? Well, yes, you're free to do as you please until your slave driver of a boss whips you Monday morning. But it also meants that it's time for Queerty ReBUTTal time. Hoorah!

You know the drill - dive into that there jump to read some our comments on some of your comments on some of our comments from this past week. Preemptive [sic], as usual.

We sort of blew our load on that BUTT post - sort of pun intended - so rather than doing our typical Queerty ReBUTTal (no relation), we've decided to post a few demented videos some of our straight male friends recommended.

Yeah, we have straight male friends. Astounding. Of course, they're not just any straight men. As you'll see by the collection, they're totally dope. Or is it doped up?

If Queerty ReBUTTal had a theme song, what do you think it would be? For some reason we always hum The Price is Right ditty. Probably because it's the most catchy of all game show tunes. And, of course, because Jeopardy's hardly appropriate.

Anyway, it's Friday, which means we've compiled a few comments on a few of your comments on our comments on some of the comment-worthy events of the week that was...

Read our fabulous remarks, after the jump...

Gee whiz, kids! We've had such a busy week here at Queerty! All that Peter Pace trash-talking, ACT-UP's revival, HRC's membership scandal and the possibility that Shane West and Ashton Holmes do dudes, to name a few.

So, we're just going to get straight to it. You know the drill, we comment on your comments on our comments on other people's comments on things that are comment worthy....

It's that time again - Queerty ReBUTTal time! Hoo-ray!

You guys know the drill - we pick through all your heartfelt (and not so heartfelt) comments, select a few (but not necessarily the best) and respond accordingly.

Admire this week's selection, after the jump.
