Author Bret Easton Ellis apparently decided to see how fast he could make Ryan Murphy‘s head explode last night (Wow. Already with the gay metaphors.) by writing the following tweet. Via E! News:
“I like the idea of Glee but why is it that every time I watch an episode I feel like I’ve stepped into a puddle of HIV?”
Naturally, Perez Hilton has already pulled a torch out of his ass and lit it, except it should probably be pointed out that Bret Easton Ellis has a history of banging men and women, but prefers to call his sexuality “indeterminate.” Also, it’s funny to equate things with AIDS. Anyway, the author has a past of pissing all over anti-gay bashing initiatives by being depressingly realistic:
In November, he took on the gay youth suicide prevention campaign “It Does Get Better.” “Not to bum everyone out, but can we get a reality check here?” he posted. “It gets worse.”
Of course, the most surprising part is how quiet Ryan Murphy has been in the past 24 hours. Then again, I can only assume he’s writing a 20-page open letter on how Bret Easton Ellis might as well have branded every gay music student in America with a number before marching them to Dachau. I bet it’s that.

First!

considering Bret Easton Ellis sexual preference, he CAN say from experience if it gets worse or not. He wasn’t telling the kids to kill themselves. Perez Hilton and Ryan Murphy are stereotypical gay drama queens

Let’s not kid ourselves here – considering we’re talking about Perez Hilton and Ryan Murphy, I think the appropriate term is ‘gay comedy queens’.

I’m convinced Bret Easton Ellis is a Superifical commenter.

Does anyone else see the irony in homosexual advocacy groups assuming that ‘HIV’ means ‘gay’?
hungarianprincess | April 14, 2011 at 4:22 pm
haha so true
Jimmy Fury | April 14, 2011 at 9:19 pm
Too True.
Personally I thought, and still think, he was referring to the fact that there are maybe 3 characters on there that aren’t uberslut cumdumpsters.
Or maybe the continual jokes about nobody having safe sex…
Because apparently in Ryan Murphy’s mind, since he’s certain Glee has such a huge impact on kids, it’s totally cool to turn unprotected sex into a joke.

If there is a Lohan post we can say she has HIV and everybody laughs, but if you say Adam Lambert has HIV then someone will call you homophobe. Anyway, I digress… I can’t wait for Perez’s HIV to blossom into full blown AIDS.
s'up bitches | April 15, 2011 at 12:26 am
He would have to have sex first.
I'm confused | April 14, 2011 at 4:22 pm
Don’t you have to be a card carrying member of NAMBLA or GLADD to watch GLEE?
Cash | April 14, 2011 at 4:25 pm
I think Brett can say whatever the hell he wants on the matter. I’m sure Perez was all set to blast him with his usual “he’s just an in-denial in the closet homophobe,” till he learned that Brett has probably shagged more dudes than he has, and realized his one and only attack move was rendered powerless.
Side note: I really, REALLY hate that “It get’s better” campaign. Brett’s right, it does get worse, a fuck-load worse. You either suck it up and face it head on, realizing that not everyone in the world likes you and wants to be your friend, or you get crushed under the heal of harsh reality. Life’s tough, wear a helmet.
Jimmy Fury | April 14, 2011 at 9:27 pm
Unlikely.
If Perez backed off of everyone who had shagged more dudes than him he’d never have anyone to attack.

Not to be the smarty pants douche who points this out, but HIV isn’t just for gays anymore.
Ryan White | April 14, 2011 at 5:32 pm
Not to be the smarty pants douche who points this out, but promiscuous bareback butt fucking was/is/always will be the best way to receive and transmit HIV sexually.
sobrietyisacrutch | April 14, 2011 at 8:16 pm
And to think that Elton John sang your eulogy.
Oh the irony.

Not to be the smarty pants douche who points this out, but i fuck my girl in the ASS! Just saying. Butt fucking isn’t just for gays! Open up your mind…
marceelf | April 14, 2011 at 4:46 pm
If you can’t handle someone calling you gay in high school, the first time you lose a job will probably finish you off. Perez Hilton is over and Glee is a subliminal message to trying to make it better to be gay than straight. Even the straight girls make out with each other if there’s nothing else to do.
Not that theres anything wrong with that.
Jovy | April 14, 2011 at 9:31 pm
No. Us straight girls make out with guys when there’s nothing to do. Hence the term “heterosexuality”.
Eddy | April 15, 2011 at 10:47 am
@Jovy …marceelf was referring to the straight girls in the show. Either way,nothing wrong with some girl to girl action.
So, have any plans tonight Jovy?
MrsPlant | April 14, 2011 at 4:53 pm
Wow this makes me mad. My name on here was MrsEllis for a couple months because I LOVE that man, I’ve read everything he’s written (even though some of it sucked), and I wanted to subtly broadcast to the world how much I adore him.
The second I change my name to reflect my lust for Zeppelin-era Robert Plant, AN ACTUAL NEWS STORY ABOUT BRET EASTON ELLIS BREAKS.
Fuck my life.

No, it doesn’t.

Holy shit, does this guy drown infants or something? Anything I should know before I call him my new favorite person?
s'up bitches | April 15, 2011 at 12:01 am
He DID write “American Psycho”, which was such a piece of shit it pretty much = drowning infants. However, his latest comments are starting to make up for that hatchet job on American literature.
Flubbgermatic | April 15, 2011 at 12:20 pm
American Psycho was your autobiography.
sobrietyisacrutch | April 14, 2011 at 7:15 pm
This from the man who brought us “Less Than Zero”.
JC | April 14, 2011 at 7:42 pm
It’s not a bad comparison, actually. You can be HIV positive without any outward symptoms for a while, much in the same way you can watch Glee for a little while without any effects. But sooner or later, both of them will make you really, really sick.
sobrietyisacrutch | April 14, 2011 at 8:21 pm
A guy I know admits he’s watched “Glee” and really liked it.
Still straight but he DID relate it through song and dance interpretation.
s'up bitches | April 15, 2011 at 12:10 am
Did he use jazz hands?
Flubbgermatic | April 15, 2011 at 12:22 pm
And then he took his yappy, little chihuahua to the part to see if he could pick up a “Great Dane.”
michiez | April 14, 2011 at 8:20 pm
not that like he actually ment it seriously
Jovy | April 14, 2011 at 9:33 pm
wtf, is that english?
s'up bitches | April 15, 2011 at 12:14 am
It’s glee-a-nese. It’s the new pop culture lingo catching this fucked-up country by storm. I hear it will eventually replace Ebonics. Joe Jonas already has it down pat.
Anya | April 15, 2011 at 3:08 am
are you high?
fake fonk | April 14, 2011 at 10:31 pm
to be fair, ellis is old enough to remember when you could hardly go out at night in NY without stepping in a puddle of HIV.
pookiewookie | April 14, 2011 at 11:25 pm
That show has to be the most annoying one on TV. I cant stomach it even when I accidentally land on it while channel surfing.
Pete | April 14, 2011 at 11:52 pm
I’ve never seen Glee but I plan on suing that Ryan Murphy guy for ripping off the title of my Vin Diesel Joe Jonas road movie.
s'up bitches | April 15, 2011 at 12:08 am
I don’t watch the show. I did give it a try by viewing a clip of the football team breaking into a rendition of “single ladies” which was VERY uncomfortable to watch. By the way, the dudes right. It doesn’t get better. That just doesn’t apply to the gay community. Unless you have a rich family or a shit load of luck, you are pretty much fucked in this country, whether it’s in the ass or not.
Anya | April 15, 2011 at 3:06 am
I’ve never watched this gay show, and if it wasn’t for gossip blogs I wouldn’t know who half these hookers are. Anyways this bitch is ugly and I want to punch her in the nose. That is all.
terry | April 15, 2011 at 3:43 am
I think glee is overrated trash.Never watched one effing episode and never will.

Lea and Dianna need to be in my personal harem, away from the rest of the Glee cast
Duke | April 15, 2011 at 1:08 pm
Now that I think about it, Bret Easton Ellis must be the only commenter on this site. I used to love Ellis and I think he´s written at least two masterpieces, but lately he´s been publishing self indulging shit. What the fuck is that glee everyone is talking about?

Hey guys, it’s OK! I learned in health class that a puddle of HIV can’t survive outside the body! Thanks, Coach Perry: your asinine ramblings about the Lakers and Magic Johnson have finally come in handy!
