DISH

The few, the proud, the nude
Marines strip for ‘charity,’ ‘SexyBack’ may make you gay and Joan Crawford liked it dirty


Friday, October 20, 2006

It’s the decade of the patriot. Not since the days of our Founding Fathers or possibly McCarthyism has it been so in to be an American as it has been in the 2000s, and the proof is in the pudding, boys and girls.

“Pudding” in this case refers to “calendar of half-naked Marines slutting about and showing off their rippling muscles in the name of America.” Dish has always been pro-America, but this really tantalizes her.

Freedom is Not Free, a non-profit for wounded war veterans, has produced a 12-month calendar titled “2007 America’s Heroes Reconnaissance Marines Calendar.” In more vernacular terms, that means that pretty Marines are wearing camouflage shorts and nothing else while they do brave things like stand in water or loll about on a mountainside.

All of the calendar’s proceeds will go toward aiding wounded veterans. The Marine Corps does not officially endorse the calendar’s contents, according to Freedom Is Not Free’s web site.

“I wasn’t afraid to pose,” calendar boy Sean Mickle told gay blog www.towleroad.com. “This is the new-generation Marines.”

Well, Dish knew that, but she is surprised to hear them mention it out loud once and for all. “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” hasn’t been repealed yet, has it?


Wine, Timbaland and song

Careful, beloved Dish readers. Hip-hop producer and rapper TIMBALAND has found out how to subdue desires of the gay sex variety.

According to Timbaland, his new single with JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, “SexyBack,” can raise questions of sexual orientation — questions, he is quick to point out, that can be silenced with a little wine and heterosexual action.

“Some people listen to a song like ‘SexyBack’ and think, am I queer?” Timbaland says in Blender magazine, a magazine for modern music fans. “Am I funny? If you are that way, you’re just that way. But if you’re a masculine man, embrace it. Have a glass of wine, put the record on and invite your girl over to get sexy.”

Dish has always thought “SexyBack” was a gay anthem. First, the title. Second, the references to shackles and the constant awareness of other men within the lyrics of the song. Third, and perhaps Timbaland should have considered this prior to recording the song if he didn’t want to be perceived as gay, it’s a duet between two men about sex.

Is Dish the only person who has noticed this? She doesn’t feel as though she has turned a mountain into a molehill by noticing that a gay song is a gay song.    


Crabby Joan Crawford

Dish is impressed by JOAN CRAWFORD, but like most smart people, she’s also terrified of her.

A new book about everyone’s favorite mommie reveals that Crawford had crabs and treated her lovers like sex slaves, according to the New York Post’s Page Six gossip column.

In “Joan Crawford: Hollywood Martyr,” David Bret writes that Crawford humiliated her lovers, requiring “they beg, literally for sex — and kneel before her and crave forgiveness whenever she said they displeased her.”

Bret also claims that Crawford wasn’t “overly fastidious with personal hygiene [and] arrived in Hollywood with crabs.” Oh, Dish loves a good understatement!

Crawford also exchanged oral sex for roles, kept one lover on a leash and then encouraged others to take her by force sexually, according to the book, which apparently has all you never wanted to know about Mommie Dearest.

Dish shudders to think what the dirty old thing did with wire hangers.
