Top 10 QComments
Every week, we round up the best 10 QComments from QC’s hottest posts. Sometimes they’re funny, sometimes bitchy, often smart, but always a lot of fun to read. This week, our readers commented mostly on our features—which is no surprise seeing as we like to stir the pot!
A recent feature entitled, Vincent DeSalvo & Dan Choi: Two Expulsions, One Reason got a handful of impassioned and insightful comments from porn lovers and military types alike. First off, knuttyBud offered a correction when we said that Jesus hung out with hookers (re: Mary Magdalene):
It’s always been a misunderstanding the Mary Magdalene was a prostitute, because it was implied that she was a woman of means…. There is no indication that she was a prostitute or a whore.
He’s right, actually. We did a web search and can find no bible verse outright calling her a cum dumpster. Duly noted. Second, windowlicker added these two cents about the future of porn and private lives:
Everyone should get over the porn thing. With all the amateur websites, explicit personal ads, live camera feeds out there as well as all the cellphone pic swapping going on these days, we’ll ALL be porn stars by 2015.
Will, like many others, wondered about DeSalvo’s choice of college in the first place:
Who goes to a Christian college to learn molecular biology? Wouldn’t the lesson consist of: “It is a sin to even inquire about DNA. Biology works because God says so, it is magic. Take in on faith. Students be sure and pick up your holy prayer cloth felt squares at the campus bookstore.” I would also imagine asking a prof a question about restriction enzymes only to have him start speaking in tongues and rolling on the floor because he doesn’t know the answer.
But Ean ultimately sided with the college’s Christian right to expel him, raising a very interesting viewpoint:
It’s important to remember what a religion is. Sure Vincent can be a Christian and be gay, even make gay porn. But he is breaking the rules. You can’t change the rules of the game just to make everybody who wants to play win. Just because Jesus was able to see the good in people, doesn’t mean they had his blessing to continue with the bad things in their lives. And, let’s face it, if you’re gonna judge someone’s general character and personality, knowing that he or she has sex for money (porn star, prostitute, male prostitutes doing porn, whatever) probably won’t cause people to also think he or she is living out other Christian virtues like self-control, faithfulness, etc. . . In other words, if my car is black and yours is white, don’t change the definition of white just so I can be in the People with White Cars Club.
We at QueerClick would definitely be black car club members, by which we mean, we all own Jesus-shaped buttplugs.
Although we didn’t actually have a top 10 QComment for any UKNakedMen posts this week, the above pic is a perfect stand-in for our most recent Ask QC. If you recall, it was about two men who broke-up in a bad way after a series of fights. One reader, Dx, had some tough love and good advice for the heartbroken advice-seeker.
did he steal your money or credit cards or car? use your identity? ruin your credit? run away with your best friend? leave you with an s-t-d? if not, consider yourself blessed. yeah, clean breaks are best. they’re harder in the beginning, but more better in the long run. in 20 years, you’ll hardly remember what the mutherfucker looked like. trust me.
Yes, breaking up is hard to do, but much harder with a felon. Meanwhile, Rick just offered this small consolation:
At least he didn’t broke up with you on a Post-It.
We’d hate to think that Rick had been through such a thing, but we guess that maybe sometimes a Post-It is enough.
Lastly, we had a handful of catty QCommentors (among our favorite) who took swings at and for several porn stars. First, our own QColumnist, Steve Prince, went up to bat for Leo Giamani after some readers slammed his teeth:
Okay, I’ve met Leo and I’m telling you boys now… You would not complain about his teeth in real life. You would shut the fuck up, get on your knees, and beg for that shit. I know because I did. Don’t be so critical.
Haha! Admittedly, Steve’s a little in love with Leo, but then again, so are we
Another Steve. Steve Scotland, commented on an older post about convicted hitman, Nikolay Petrov, saying that he doesn’t think Petrov will see a lot of action in prison:
He looks like a gargoyle. Even if he does bend over to pick the soap up, there may not be many takers.
That should make the straight identified porn model very happy. Another reader, Shoco, had similarly harsh words, not for one naked QC man, but for an entire men’s soccer team who dropped trou:
way to ruin the build up… soccer players can be hot. these, on the other hand, look like lower junior league failures who get together once a decade to drown their sorry-ass “would have been” soccer ambitions down the drain. my guess? they either failed to even leave vicariously through their sons or they just got so drunk, they dropped their pants looking for their hopes and dreams down the balcony. I mean, 13 who has the potienal has his ass covered by his shirt, something i really wish the others guy would do. their asses are horrible and quite old. I mean, 75 looks like someone sewed his ass cheeks together. soccer players? more like soccer janitors…
Wow. It drips with bitterness! We love it! Lastly, regular QCommentor, SteveDenver shared his two cents about Robert Pattison getting gay in the film Little Ashes:
Saw a preview. The Good: Whomever did the scenic and art direction is brilliant, the film looks gorgeous. But the wardrobe always looks new, like this scene is the first time it’s been worn. Pattison is surrounded by gorgeous Hispanic actors with genuine accents. Pattison just doesn’t fit in with his fisbelly complexion and blue eyes. The fright wig they give him for the first part of the film is a travesty. This is a challenging role and I’m afraid Pattison was in over his head. I’ve also read a couple of interviews where he resorts to the “icky” description of gay kissing and sex. Couldn’t his handlers have helped him exude a sophisticated attitude toward his role? Hopefully he’ll work on his craft. I think it was wise of him NOT to follow up a teen hearththrob movie with the same type, lest he be cast in that mold and unable to grow.
Guess that saves us all the price of admission and gives Mr. Pattison some good career advice (because he takes his career advice from gay porn blogs, after all).
Well, that’s all for this week, dear QCommentors. But let us know what you think. We love reading your reactions and sharing them with other readers! Who knows? Your QComment could end up on next week’s Top 10!
