Screencap of ABCNews.com from June 5, 2008 | NewsBusters.orgI've been noticing lately that Disney-owned ABCNews.com has a penchant for putting somewhat sexually-charged items in its top stories lineup.

Today is no exception with a story on a shocking, shocking double standard in one of the country's most progressive industries.

Ready for the outrage? Here goes:

Bisexual in H'wood: OK for Girls, Not Guys. While the industry welcomes bisexual starlets, bi men are all but unmarketable.

Clearly televised congressional hearings are called for!

It is understandable for a

It is understandable for a girl not to want a fat hairy guy laying on top of them. We understand. The lesbian community loves me because I help create more lesbians. They see me and switch teams. But for a guy to desire that? gross. But where does Rosie Odonnell fit?

where does Rosie Odonnell fit?

In the back seat of a '52 Packard. Nothing else is big enough for her mouth.

Waxman

I am sure that Dim congressman Waxman is unaware of this outrage. He has had at least 50 worthless congressional investigations. Might as well add this one to the list.

Home for Henry

Yes! And, Hollywood is Henry's home district.

Yet another example of a

Yet another example of a major MSM network defiantly soft-pedaling homosexuality and obviously an article directed at youth. Sick.

so

does that mean it wasn't Larry Craig's bisexuality that ABC found offensive and deviant, but his Republicanism?

Who really wants to watch

Who really wants to watch crap like that? If they didn't make gay's funny no one would watch them either. People want to be entertained, not watch some show with an agenda.

Who wants to watch two guys

Who wants to watch two guys make out? Two chicks, on the other hand......

Two words RtS

"Rosie" and "Hillary". Doesn't sound so good now does it?

Seems like a no-brainer,

Seems like a no-brainer, doesn't it, Rog? 

Stupid question

Do ya 'spose Hollywood will correct the problem by getting rid of female bisexuals on TV?

Never mind. Stupid question.

When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.

is it because

could it be so many of the male actors are gay and don't want to try women?

hey just because i defend gay people to live their life as a right to persue happiness and to live freely in society free from religious persecution doesn't mean i still wont poke a joke at gays.

Errrm ...

Back where I come from we referred to bisexual chicks as opportunities. Bisexual guys were called the wrestling team. Seriously though, everybody these days wants a hot, affectionate and attractive girlfriend, especially other girls so they can show off their hot girlfriends to the other girls. And who can blame them? :D As for hot affectionate and attractive guys, they hang out at places called Screamers or The Pump House, as well as the bathrooms of certain airports in Minnesota and the New Jersey governor's mansion. All ABC "News" has to do is look.
