Do any other heterosexual DUers sometimes watch LOGO?
I'll sometimes watch the music countdown just to see what's on, and I discovered some bands I didn't know about. They will also sometimes have shows about gay rights and that sort of a thing. There was one show about gay rappers and another reality show about two gay singers who came out to their very religious parents. What reminded me of this is that I saw another post about "Girls Gone Wild" and I remembered seeing something that looked like it may have been from the same company (using the GGW initials) called "Guys Gone Wild" featuring homosexual men. Has anybody else seen that?

Yes, I know I ask weird questions sometimes!

1. What's a "LOGO?" I'm being serious, here.

5. Figured that. I miss a lot of stuff by not watching TV. I really should start.

6. Actually, you don't.

Unless you count having your brain rotted from the inside out by endless pablum and rightist crap, leavened by advertisements for products no sane person could every want to buy as a desirable outcome.

Believe me, there's nothing on there you can't easily live without. I think my blood pressure would be 20 points lower if I just tossed the set out the window.

8. Well, good, then, I don't have to start watching TV after all. Nothing against TV, just
that I've been out of the habit of watching it most of my life.

7. As a gay DUer, may I chime in?
If I ever need to see a Madonna video, I know that the music countdown on LOGO will always fulfill my need.

9. I tune in occasionally
But I also eat tofu. I may be unwittingly making myself gay.

10. It's almost as though the RW and neo-cons constantly give us material.
To make jokes of them and also poke fun of ourselves. Their material, recently, has been endless.

13. Those I once feared are now my greatest source of scorn and ridicule
And it feels good.

11. I have watched a couple of fantastic documentaries on there
One was called "The Revolution will be Televised" and I can't remember what the other one was.

12. I really enjoyed that documentary.
And since you did, I would recommend "The Celluloid Closet".

mostly for curiosity's sake, I think.

On Halloween, I was flipping around, and "Rocky Horror" was on. That's the only time I've ever really watched it, though.

15. Yeah, LOGO is great
Their reality shows grate, but that's true of every channel. Overall, they do a good job of programming gay documentaries, gay-themed movies, and gay public-affairs programming (no more waiting up for the timid PBS affiliate to run In The Life at 2 a.m. on a Saturday), plus gay-themed shows from across the pond, like BBC2's excellent The Line of Beauty.
