Well, folks, they've managed to do it: With the help of Russell Brand, Cobra Starship, Taylor Swift, and Ne-Yo in this VMA Awards promo, MTV has finally managed to make West Side Story wholly unattractive to gay American audiences.

De gayed? This has a glossy new sheen of gay all over it!
Another level of gay is added by the fact that this promo is heavily inspired by (read, plagiarizes) the famous closing number at the Tonys by Neil Patrick Harris…
That was great!! (:
This is horrible
Pretty hideous. Russell Brand is grotesque, and I don't see the appeal at all. And probably none of them know anything about the actual musical they're spoofing.
I love it! Gayer than ever, and Russell Brand is beautiful!
Call me old-fashioned, but I will take the original Broadway production of this MTV bastardization of a classic anytime.
Next, I suspect, they will be re-writing Beethovens's Fifth?
Well, I rather enjoyed it. I actually wouldn't be averse to seeing a feature-length version of this.
As far as the "de-gaying" allegations…nope. Still gay as ever, and not nearly as tired as the original.
Obviously, Queerty thinks it is Wonkette now, hence the complete over-use of irony and sarcasm on here lately …
As for the video, I too loved it!
I didnt plan on watching this but this commertial was just awesome, they had all my favorite artists and who dont love a musical lol
My view is that MTV is not a gay-friendly organization as far as men are concerned. It will occasionally have a gay male or gay male relationship but it's largely a token gesture. Most of its gay male-related items are stunts designed to make people laugh.
However, if you're a "hot lesbian" or "hot bi chick", you get lots of air-time. Interesting double standard, isn't it.
It's time that we in the gay community told MTV where to go.
Russell Brand makes me laugh
Russell Brand totally bombed last year during the VMAs. Is he doing a do-over or something?
To folks living in manhattan i guess this is considered "straight" but i bet, for the resyt of the country, every high skool drama club fag is swooning over this shit.
