gay is not a synonym for shitty.

[semisweet]

i don't watch this show, or any soaps, but this pisses me right the fuck off. i'm calling, like, A LOT.

The American Family Association has just launched a letter and call-in campaign to have the Luke/Noah storyline removed from the day time soap opera As the World Turns.

Procter & Gamble has set up a 1-800 number to poll responses.

The number is 1-800-331-3774.

Press 1 for English/2 for Spanish [if you don't get this, don't worry, I didn't either].

Press 2 to get to the AtWT poll.

Then press 1 to tell them you want the storyline to continue.

with the amount of ridiculous scandalous bullshit that soap operas have as a complete matter of course, the fact that the american family association chooses only to get upset about a gay storyline is repulsive. HATE. i encourage everyone to call the number and to repost this information.

here, as a reward have a random really really hot boykiss.

How about we set up a poll for how AWFUL AND FUCKING SICK IT IS THAT THEY SET UP A POLL IN THE FUCKING FIRST PLACE? FUCKITY FUCK FUCK.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

YEAH THAT TOO. BUT I'M STILL CALLING THEIR FUCKING POLL. D:

[angelicdisastr.livejournal.com]

This seriously disgusts me. I only started watching ATWT because of Luke/Noah. I really liked their storyline at first, but I've recently stopped watching because they completely ruined them. The fact that Carly can lie and say she's dying just to get someone to marry her, everybody can sleep around, people drug and murder other people and nobody says anything about it. But it's completely horrific for two guys who are in love to kiss and be in a relationship? Fuck that. Anyway, I'll definitely be calling.

Oh, and what is that clip from? ♥

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

hee, i've never even watched the show so i have absolutely no idea what you just said. but WORD.

it's from some random movie, idk. someone posted it on my flist a long time ago and i thought it was hot so i added it to my faves. :P

[hearthisvoice.livejournal.com]

It's from a BBC Canada mystery movie called No Night Is Too Long. The entire movie is here on Google videos. :)

[angelicdisastr.livejournal.com]

thank you!

[likespring.livejournal.com]

I have already called a couple times (and will call more) so really I am just here for the boykissing yay!

AFA can kiss my gay little tush.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

isn't the boykissing pretty?!?! XD

*slaps your gay little tush* ;) TAKE THAT AFA!

[likespring.livejournal.com]

Oooh! ♥

How d'you like that, AFA? :P

[hearthisvoice.livejournal.com]

Oh that was *very* pretty. Breathtaking.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

bb i forgot to say this in my entry but in my dream last night i was totally texting you from the concert to tell you about "guilty pleasure." (but not about cash because for some reason that was not surprising? idk.)

[hearthisvoice.livejournal.com]

Um...first of all, that's the new ringtone on my phone, and second, I also dreamed about Cobra ish esterday. WEIRD Y/Y?

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

...

"guilty pleasure" is the custom ringer for you on my phone.

true story.

[hearthisvoice.livejournal.com]

Wow bb. Also? HAIIIIIIIIII.

WTF is wrong with people? How is that we're like 7+ years into the 21st century and conservative groups are *still* controlling the dialogue? I don't watch soaps, but I'm all for pretty boys kissing irl and on tv *g* Would it be too much to ask for these tight asses to just *not* watch?

[spifftronica.livejournal.com]

Seriously, just even ignoring all the LEGITIMATE PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD THAT SHOULD BE FOCUSED ON MORE THAN WHAT WRITERS WANT TO INCLUDE IN THEIR SHOWS, there are still like 252 sleazy things people do in soap operas that the AFA could concentrate on more. But OH NOEZ TEH GAYZ R IN OUR TV BOXEZ STEALING R CHILDREN'Z INNOCENZES.

I mean, isn't the whole crazy beef with gays that people don't want kids seeing it? WHAT KIND OF PARENT LETS A KID WATCH SOAP OPERAS ANYWAY?! Ugh, this whole thing is thoroughly frustrating, and that this poll has to exist at all bothers me to the ends of the world.

That said, I'm gonna speed dial 1 like it's a save Michael Johns number. ;D

[spifftronica.livejournal.com]

Ugh, I went to look at the AFA website. They have a you tube link to one of the kissing scenes, and it's labeled:

"View a scene from the April 23, 2008 episode by P&G. WARNING – content is repulsive!"

NO YOU KNOW WHAT IS REPULSIVE? INTOLERANCE, HATRED, AND CAMPAIGNS TO ERASE HOMOSEXUALITY FROM EXISTENCE!

[wearethestars.livejournal.com]

I called about 20651 times. Aaaand, what is that vid from?

[citibyrd.livejournal.com]

UGH, people suck sometimes. A lot. *calls the number*

Also, that kiss is ridiculously hot. Wow.

[lillijulianne.livejournal.com]

see, this is the thing. if you're such a goddamn squeaky-clean fundamentalist, why are you watching soap operas??? why in the HELL would you let your kids near them???? it's at times like these that i respect, well, not those fucked-up polygamists, but, the AMISH. the ultra-hasidim. people who, deciding that their path is radically different from the prevailing state of things, have the intellectual and religious integrity to walk their walk. you just don't get to decide this for ME, people.

the thing about the AFA's campaign is, i don't think they really expect to succeed when they do this shit. i think it's self-aggrandizing, and perhaps most valuable in providing talking points for their antediluvian political candidates, who will have this to refer to- "my opponent did not support the AFA in its effort to sanitize the airwaves!" ugh.

[maka2000.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the info on the ATWT ugliness. I don't watch that show either (I used to, back in the day!), but I'll pass on the info to my friends. They'll be outraged too and will want to call.

[maka2000.livejournal.com]

Did you know the AFA website lists a live P&G phone number to call? From the AFA website:

P&G's direct line which reaches a live person is 513-983-1100.
