There’s an update coming later today with a new piece about the ACC Tournament, and I’ll share some fun thoughts from the weekend. It could best be described as a religious experience. Really. But then again, I’m as religious as a pint of whiskey.
Anyway, I just read somehwere that Toure said on Star and Buc Wild that Cam’Ron might be gay. Why? Because Cam called Jigga ugly and tsaid hat any man that could call a man ugly could probably find another man handsome.
Yeah, that makes a lot of fuckin’ sense. Here’s why that’s rather moronic.
1. I personally have trouble telling if a man is attractive. I’m just not attracted to men. You can’t even use the ability to meet women as a proxy because game makes the world go ’round.
However, I can peep ugly from a mile away. Ugly is universal. If saying another man is ugly makes you gay, then we’re all gay. In your head, document the first thing to come to your mind when thinking of the following people–Flavor Flav, Shabba Ranks, Biz Markie, Sam Cassell, Tyrone Hill.
You don’t have to be gay to think Jigga’s ugly. You just need to be able to peep those coolers.
But here’s the thing about Jay being ugly–so what? Ummm, have you seen that stunna he keeps on his arm? Lemme be ugly. You could throw chicken grease on the left side of my face and shove a stiletto through the right. For Beyonce, that’s a fair trade.
2. Even if I were able to tell if a man is handsome, that wouldn’t make me gay. Men and women are different animals, but women peep the attractiveness of other women all the time without wanting to get in their pants.
3. If someone were looking for a superficial reason to believe Cam’s gay, now wouldn’t be the time to start. Folks, he drove a pink Range Rover. Pink. That says a lot more to me than calling somebody ugly. And it still says nothing at all
4. Random question–why would Toure even go on Star and Buc Wild? I can’t speak for nobody else, but stupid people make my stomach hurt. And hanging with stupid people’ll make you look, well, stupid.
That’s all for now. I’ve been up since 3am making deadline, so I’m really lost as to what to do with myself. Guess I’ll go to the gym or something. Maybe some breakfast afterwards. After a weekend of wonderful AND free food, going back to cooking is really going to suck.

Remember that student who said that we should return to death by stoning as a form of capital punishment a while back?
That same student told me this morning that God’s going to punish all homosexuals, especially those who adopt children.
Maybe he, Toure, and Pat Robertson can all meet for coffee someday. Apparently, “from the mouths of babes” only applies before they get to high school…
>but women peep the attractiveness of other women all the time without wanting to get in their pants.
Oh, come on.
Ummmm…this might need to be the new topic of this post. Pick this one up and roll with it.
The rumor is an old one. People were saying Camron was gay back when his first album with him came out. Then he got sick and lost some weight and people thought that that proved he was gay and had AIDS (as if only gay men get AIDS). Then the whole Supahead/ G Rap thing unleashed the revelation that Big Tigger was bisexual (as if homosexuality runs in the family). And then people talk about his love of the color pink (as if liking the color pink is gay). All of this shit is very juvenile. The real issue is that Camron’s music sucks; who cares if he does?
I always joke with my girl that “all men are ugly; some are just much uglier than others.” But as you say, you don’t have to be attracted to men to recognize that a man is (relatively) attractive; otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to find yourself attractive, or say that your brother or friend is a “good-looking guy,” or say that you would rather look like Denzel than like Craig Mack. And the same holds for women: you don’t have to be attracted to your mother, your sister, your daughter, your sister-in-law to say that they are good-looking. Attractiveness and attraction are related, but distinct. Attractiveness may not be universal, but whatever abstract criteria you use–symmetry, proportionality, complexion, etc.–should know no sex.
Byron, that comment is both logically and rhetorically sound. I feel myself being strangely attracted to it – as though I were watching a Cam’Ron video. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Those last two comments made me laugh so hard I shot milk through my nose. And I haven’t had any milk since breakfast.
