I dont know how many of you get Sky, but there was a program on on Saturday night which was really nasty, even for Sky.
The title was 'How Gay are You?' and the advert for the show included the line, 'face cream, well thats just gay in a jar'
Truely even for Murdock this was a nasty piece of work.

Its physically discusting that he holds such sway in this country. I mean, coming over here, sponging all our newspapers, lowering the tone of the place, diluting our culture, how DARE HE?!
He's also a rabid homophobe and god-botherer. Though that does not stop him from putting naked women in his newspapers. Money before God.
He is a tax dodger who pays a small fraction in taxes of what he should be paying to this country. He's also a foreigner who doesn't live here yet he thinks he should dictate how this country is run.
His TV channels are utter shite anyway.
Free speech certainly has its drawbacks.
Gotta be one of the worst most stereotypical programs ever...
None of it seems to be deliberately offensive to me, I think it's done in a light-hearted way, and I personally would never find any of it offensive at all.
Stereotypes are just that - sterotypes. I know that not all gay men don't ponce about all day making daisychains and buying designer shoes, and that's enough for me.
Most people nowadays are stereotyped in one way or another, and I think the average viewer would be able to tell the difference between a light hearted poke (!) here and there, and full out blatant homophobia.
But that's just me.
It's no more offensive than a lot of things; I'm personally offended by Linda Barker (enough to put my foot through the TV in fact), but so it goes.
That is a world of difference from what Queer Eye is all about. Again, the programme itself could send different vibes but that was the impression I got from the ads.
This, as you say Aladdin seems to be nastier. Obviously there is a serious issue over the modern male role in society and how that is changing, but frankly I doubt a show on Sky 1 would do this topic justice.
