Business industry eyebrows (think: thick, bushy) raised this week after it was announced that mega-corporations Disney and Fox would merger. Fans, on the other hand, wonder what the move could mean for content.
Will Disney continue on with envelope-pushing franchises like the R-rated superhero films Logan and Deadpool?

We suspect that if the money is right, they’ll do whatever it takes to appease their shareholders.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
And either way, it’s far too late for the deal to affect the hotly anticipated Deadpool 2, which doesn’t hit theaters until June 2018.
Star Ryan Reynolds is wasting no time hyping up the film, and we give him bonus points for managing to work in a solid d-joke in a recent share:
Some might call this creation a masterpiece, but to me it’s just well hung art to be shared with the world. pic.twitter.com/O7ezRdGXX2

“Some might call this creation a masterpiece,” Reynolds wrote of the Michelangelo-inspired poster. “But to me,” he added, “it’s just well hung art to be shared with the world.”

Miraculously, this led to a back-and-forth with the prestigious British Museum:
Not bad, Ryan, although we still enjoy Michelangelo's original… https://t.co/Gs8blaqEYZ pic.twitter.com/2ZVm8hwykq

Then the Getty Museum weighed in — sure, why not:
We can’t match this perfect response!???

That’s when the official Deadpool Twitter account hopped into the thread:
Speaking of originals, how about we send ours to one of you? Mom won't let us hang it on the fridge…

Then, naturally, mediocre Italian restaurant Bucca di Beppo had something to share:
Ciao @vancityreynolds That would look amazing hanging on our ceiling—the perfect piece of art to gaze at while enjoying some of our oversized (meat)balls ??

Leading to just one more joke about the male anatomy. It’s a good day:
You got the bolognese to hang it in the Pope Room? ?

Some fans took the news of the Disney/Fox merger to heart and revised the poster:
Fixed. #Deadpool #Disney #Marvel pic.twitter.com/A9cIfCF6MP

Talk about f*cking click bait!!!

It’s Queerty. It’s what I’ve come to expect.

click bait or 3 year old news, those are your chances. I read it for the pictures.

Ryan has a doe-eyed melancholic quality. Very wholesome. Remember him on TV: Two Guys, A Girl And A Pizza Parlour? I remember my gaydar was bleeping when I first noticed him. I think he might have experimented.

I first encountered Ryan when he was in a show with Amanda Bynes called “Fifteen.” An age he wasn’t yet and my gaydar went off immediately.

Nice looking guy with a great body but as a connoisseur of monumental objects that have both scale and value this is not what I would call “well hung”.
Now there was that Australian I meet one night in…..I digress and will save that story for another time.

He has the perfect chest hair, though. He has everything any gay man, maybe any man, would like. Don’t mean I would want to be him (although I wouldn’t turn down the offer) but meaning I want Ryan Reynolds because he’s an almost perfect example of the male species.

Reynolds and co is just hyping his brand. Anyone who wants to see his minuscule member can rent “Buying the Cow”; it’s absolutely nothing anyone could mistake for being remotely impressive. It’s actually on the laughable side, which worked, since the scene he showed it in was supposed to be funny (it really wasn’t…but the sight of his nub was).
spacecadet
Don’t like your life, huh?

Well, I can certainly understand your perspective. I would imagine it takes quite a bit to impress a hungry bottom like yourself.

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO over this obsession with large dicks being a prerequisite. The average penis is less than 6″ hard. Maybe I’ve just lived this life long enough that I came to the conclusion, a long long time ago, that the size of your penis has absolutely nothing to do with how open your mind is, how compassionate and empathetic a person you are. Are you a cat lover? Those are just some of the things that negate a “small” penis. I’m marrying the man, not the penis. They have stores that you can purchase items larger than life, if that’s what you need to be happy.
