Queerty ReBUTTal
Reliving The Week That Was...

rebuttalsmall2.jpg
Another week, another barrage of comments from you, our most favoritest of readers. We're still reeling from that last post, so we'll keep this brief.

After the jump, see what we had to say about what some of you had to say about what we had to say earlier in the week. Phew, we're spent!

Have a good weekend, sexy beasts. Grrrr..

Imelda Marcos Is More Than Just A Drag Queen's Muse: Reader Ronald noted, "I think Imeldific has been in use since the 80s, but mostly in the Philippines. Now she's importing her tackiness to borders unknown." We took a little lookie-loo and what do you know, Ronnie's right. Word Spy defines it as: "Ostentatiously extravagant to the point of vulgarity (from Imelda Marcos, shoe collector extraordinaire)." Meanwhile, purveyors of all things knowledgable, Wikipedia says, "Imeldific is a term for excessive vanity... It also pertained to a glamorous woman with social lifestyle." We prefer our definition, "...An ostentatious drag queen wearing tawdry jewelry while flaunting their most incredulous political tackiness. For an illustration, please refer to original post.

• Speaking of illustrations, you may recall our post There's Only One Word To Describe This Picture in which we asked you to provide one word for a picture of Perez Hilton, Joan Rivers and Michael Musto. Most of you kids obviously can't count. Sorry, Alan, while "The Whores Of Babble-On" made us giggle, that's four words. We must give a round of applause to young Matt Nasser, who offered "myopia". (Some one cue clap track, our wrists hurt.)

• We were pleased with the commentator turn-out for Mitt Romney Makes Bank! Although, it's not much of a surprise, you guys love ragging on Romney as much as we do. So, "Poodle", that's the answer to most of your comment:

you would think that romney is the only douche worth reporting on. the douche gets coverage daily here. can we take a break?

i mean you can't douche everyday can you? [sic, obviously]

As for douching everyday - we suppose it's possible, but we wouldn't recommend it. As for you, "Sweetpea", you're right:
Mitt Romney can't be an "Evangelical" if he's a Mormon, which ain't Christian. "Fundamentalist" maybe.
Our mistake. You know what they say: they all look alike.

Now, for the more consumer-minded folk, if you're offended by eBay CEO Meg Whitman's Romney love, perhaps you'd like to take "Trader"'s advice:

If eBay tolerates a homophobe at the top of its executive team, would that provoke a backlash that hurts shareholders? I think so. You can tell them what you think:

meg@ebay.com

To cancel your account call the main number and ask for member services: 408-376-7400.

We would call, but we had our membership cancelled years ago. We were trying to sell our soul, but were forced to renege after we realized we don't have one.

• We were a bit disappointed over the dearth of comments on Peru Po-Po Accused of Homophobic Attacks. Seriously, coppers are accused of beating own gays and all we get is this erroneous response from Beni:

Fyi...in reference to your article about Peru. Prostitution is NOT legal in Peru.
regards
We'll let the Department of Labor counter:
Prostitution is legal in Peru, but laws prohibit individuals from profiting by prostituting others.
So, you can be a whore, but no pimping. Regards, indeed.

• Finally, who could forget the rousing post Danny Pintauro Totally Uses Manhunt in which we chatted about the former Who's The Boss star's penchant for Manhunt-solicited sex. A few of you thought it was in bad taste to post it and, yes, perhaps it was, but, then again, we're totally tasteless fucks. Of the comments, though, a shout-out to Wolf, who wrote:

Queerty:

I'd also just like to ad that in all sincerity I think that maybe you should remove this story from your website. Mostly for the respect of Mr. Pitauro's privacy and also this really makes your site seem as sleazy as www.perezhilton.com

PLEASE show some integrity.

Thank you

Wolf

Oh, please, we and Perez are on entirely different levels of sleaziness. For the rest of our response, please refer to Jack E. Jett's:
With all due respect, the homo's at queerty think "integrity" is a techno band from Berlin.
Actually, we thought Israel, but same difference.

xoxo,
Queerty

As for Mitt Romney not being a Christian because of his Mormonism, I think your reader is wrong. It is the "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints." Mormons acknowledge Jesus Christ as the son of God and Messiah. As if that's not weird enough, they throw in a post-resurrection vacay in North American where he partied it up with natives. And, we know all this because the angel Moroni gave Joseph Smith some rad shades and stones to translate these Golden tablets written in some unknown angelly language.

See. Jesus. Right there. Mormons are Christians. Because the faith heavenly focuses on evangelism, you could easily call them evangelical. Because they rarely sway from texts written hundreds if not thousands of years ago and have little patience for interpretation and discernment, you could call them fundamentalists, too.

Or, you can call them what I do: whack jobs! That's some crazy sh--.

If anyone is really interested about learning the history of Mormonism, it is the background story about a real murder in Utah in John Krackauer's non-fiction bestseller "Under The Banner Of Heaven." Great book. Fascinating, frightening stuff.

..And your fascination for your loudmouth chunky peer/rival Perez Hilton never fails.
