NO SOCCER?:
France's first gay TV station launches with diet of porn, "Wonder Woman" (AFP: 10/25/2004)
France's first gay and lesbian television station was to go to air Monday, beaming a steady diet of homosexual porn, daily repeats of "Wonder Woman" and English language comedies into subscribers' homes.
You can tie me in that golden lasso and I'll still swear I only watch it to see the star-spangled Lynda Carter. Posted by Orrin Judd at October 26, 2004 12:13 AM
She has an exceptionally fine pair of lenses.
Posted by: ghostcat at October 26, 2004 12:26 AMCan we get it in the US?
Posted by: Robert Schwartz at October 26, 2004 12:31 AMI doubt anyone in France will really notice, given the prodigious amount of pornography that has been passed off as French political commentary over the past several years.
Posted by: Barry Meislinb at October 26, 2004 3:27 AMI'm hard-pressed to see why this would be a "gay" channel, since it sounds like any other no-budget fringe broadcaster.
Now, if they were to round up some well-known gays and give them talk shows and political opinion shows, that might amount to something.
Or maybe not.
The UK's 'Gay Times' claims to be Europe's most popular gay magazine, and their monthly circulation is only around 70,000.
In the US, 'The Advocate' has a monthly circulation of about 90,000, and its sister publication, Out magazine, sells 110,000 copies a month.
Those aren't successful television broadcast viewer numbers.

If they are showing homosexual pornography on that channel, then I would say it is a gay channel.

Don't worry, they'll be showing plenty of atheletics as well.

Yes, who among us wouldn't gladly be his bitch in prison?

That makes it a male channel, but not necessarily a gay channel.
Also, they're trying to appeal to lesbians, as well, so there might be some Sapphic porn.
Posted by: Michael Herdegen at October 26, 2004 10:52 AMMichael -- What a brilliant marketing strategy. Start a lesbian porn channel and claim that it's for lesbians. You'd have the whole MSM writing about what a positive affirming development this is.
Posted by: David Cohen at October 26, 2004 11:31 AMAnd everyone who watches Spike TV would want to see it.
Posted by: Bart at October 26, 2004 12:04 PMThe "Star Spangled Lynda Carter" is the only reason to watch that god-awful series, and I say that as a lifelong comics geek who will argue to the last that the first two seasons of "Justice League" were the best written action show (animated and live action included) on TV.
Posted by: MarkD at October 26, 2004 8:54 PMDid Lynda Carter ever even hear of aerobics? Yo, Lynda, I have one word for you, 'salad.'
In her last TV series, they probably had a guy making pancakes for her in between takes. She looked like she was wearing an iron corset.

Come, come.
I've always been sceptical when feminists place the responsibility for widespread female anorexia on men, but after a comment like that I'm starting to think they might have a point.
A fellow who can't appreciate the healthy curves of a voluptuous woman is a poor sort of fellow indeed.

Oh, didn't you know that Bart believes full-figured women consume too many resources and should all be killed?
Posted by: Peter B at October 27, 2004 6:23 AMBrit,
Lynda Carter is noteworthy for me because I really generally like long-legged brunettes. My preference is for aerobic chicks(e.g. Denise Austin, Kathy Derry) but I would say that Elsa Benitez might be the most beautiful woman in the world.
Peter B,
You're not far from wrong. I saw a fat woman on the bus in the city yesterday. I'm talkin' fat here, not merely Rubenesque. She was wearing a coat that was so tight on her that she could barely move her arms. It took me till about the 3d inning of the game last night to get the Magilla Gorilla theme song out of my head.

Yes, looking around he does seem to be keen on a rapid cull of most of the world's population.
I just hope he hasn't made a start. He does come across as the type of person in whose fridge one wouldn't like to peep.
Bart:
I'm ashamed to admit that I've never heard of any of the ladies you mention, and am rather fearful of googling them in case the missus catches me looking at the sort of sites that might get me into hot water.
However, in Britain we have a delicious example of the voluptuous brunette in the form of TV chef and politician's daughter Nigella Lawson. Now there is a woman who has curves and is not afraid to use them.
Posted by: Brit at October 27, 2004 8:21 AMBrit,
It isn't my refrigerator you have to worry about, I'm too compulsive about personal hygiene. However, if I should ever been found renting a woodchipper, then it's time to be very, very concerned.
