Obviously Bryan Batt is being written out of "mad Men." Weinerdude can't afford to associate himself with so "limited" an actor. With friends like Matthew Weiner who needs enemies?

Obviously Bryan Batt is being written out of “mad Men.” Weinerdude can’t afford to associate himself with so “limited” an actor.

It's one of the most racist and homophobic industries in America... If you're gay, you're the female lead's lisping, mincing, celibate BFFL who only shows up to gossip about the mens and throw out catchphrases like "you go guuuurl!" to get a chuckle out of the audience. If you're Asian, you're a near-silent ninja, a wise old kung-fu master, or the nerdy comic relief. Unless you're an Asian female, then you can be a bitchy assassin or an exotic trophy for the white hero to win and lay claim to by the end of the movie. If you're Hispanic, you're a gangbanger or a maid. If you're black, you're the token comic relief, or the magical negro, there to guide the white hero on his journey. If you're Middle-Eastern, you're a terrorist. If you're a white heterosexual, you can be anything you want to be. Hollywood’s alleged liberalism is all a big P.R. stunt.

Middle America doesn't seem to have a problem watching "How I met your Mother", Ellen's show, or "Better off Ted". But all the publicists in Hollywood etc... are telling their clients to stay closeted because casting directors, studios etc... won't hire them.
