The champion today for unfunny fag jokes in the first degree has to be this gem from Brian Dunkleman, the guy who for about a second co-hosted American Idol:
"If wishes came true Ryan Seacrest would have AIDS," TMZ reports Dunkleman "joked" at the Laugh Factory last week. (That was also the home of Seinfeld's Michael Richards and his racist rant. Is there something in their drinks that brings a man's secret asshole tendencies to the fore?) Then he said that Seacrest "probably already has AIDS."
I usually don't bother repeating on Popnography the truly awful things people blurt out, but sometimes it goes a long way in illustrating the difference between totally not cool behavior and those who look askance at a ridiculous situation with a queer eye and don't bother mincing words.
For example, here's a funny gay-by-association joke that actually did make me laugh, from today's Gawker: U2 spokesperson Bono and Penelope Cruz were spotted strolling down a beach hand in hand. Wait ... Bono's gay? Seriously, I never wonder about a guy until he's spotted with her.
