Well this is certainly interesting. I don't think I could sit through Jay's painful shtick long enough to watch this, but it's revealing that NBC is pulling out their big guns to promote the show. (It's also getting a second half-hour airing after Will & Grace on Aug 14).

NBC owns Bravo and it's already Bravo's most popular show ever, so they're hoping to finally put the network on the map with it, what SouthPark did for Comedy Central.

Meanwhile, the homos venture further and further into the mainstream.

Newsweek's new issue does much better on capturing Queer Eye For the Straight Guy than it does Howard Dean. Really nice story, hit's all the right notes:

Queen for a Day

Bravo’s ‘Queer Eye for the Straight Guy’ has exploded. It’s a makeover takeover.

It also answers a few questions I had been wondering about:

• In fact, they take about three days, chiefly because of the home redesigns. After day one, producers put the guy up in a hotel, and he returns only when his place is finished. The Fab Five, however, genuinely don’t know what they’re up against until they arrive at their patient’s door. They receive a brief dossier during the car ride over and then have to form a game plan on the spot.
• “Queer Eye” pays for the entire makeover, and the final price tag ranges from $2,500 to nearly $10,000, Collins says, depending on how much the subject could realistically afford. The idea is to fashion for him a lifestyle that he can maintain, thereby heading off a slow, yearlong slide back into style purgatory.
• The Fab Five’s good vibes have even touched NBC, which aired a 30-minute version of the pilot episode after a recent “Will & Grace” rerun. It held onto 86 percent of the gay-themed sitcom’s audience. NBC Entertainment president Jeff Zucker told news-week that “Queer Eye” will make another cameo on Aug. 14, but he insists that Bravo will remain the show’s permanent home. (Its initial 13-episode order has already been extended to 20.) “NBC will be fine without ‘Queer Eye’,” Zucker says. “It’s far more important to turn Bravo into a must-have cable channel.”

Now then. Doesn't it seem like the media is just saturated with homos right now? Even my gay friends are amazed by it. Are you breeders sick to death of it yet? Are you planning to stage a backlash?
