Insufferable brunch

Four homophobes learn about themselves and each other while ordering brunch.

That was pretty awesome. This is the best way to cure the world of homophobia; make every macho showing representative of repressed homosexuality. Awesome.

I think this idea is tempting but incorrect. Some just hate people that are different. Some people hate Mexicans but don't harbor feelings of repressed Mexicaniality.

I think homophobia has too many reasons to exist to pin it down to just repression.

It was a fine theory, but I don't think the reverse psychology of saying it's gay to insult gays actually works on homophobes. And teasing them about potentially being gay seems to validate their childish attitude.

As the culture moves away from homophobia being accepted, I almost think those insecure macho men will be relieved. It's got be be exhausting to be that paranoid.

Now it's just funny to make homophobic jokes ironically. Like pretending to be Eric Cartman or similar sentiments. But actually witnessing childish homophobia... that's pretty weird to me nowadays, even among the people I know who don't necessarily approve of the lifestyle.

I wonder when/if our generation of offensive, abusive irony will dissipate? I don't mind it, but it seems like a natural progression for popular culture. For example, do you really hear "retard" jokes any longer? Was In Living Color the last mainstream sketch comedy with mentally challenged jokes?

I could be wrong on this, but I don't recall recent stuff along those lines -- except South Park, but they're very, very special.
