Chaz Bono: Toxic Avenger
Chaz Bono appeared on Good Morning America today, defending himself from accusations by Fox News commentator, Dr Keith Ablow, that watching him perform on ‘Dancing With The Stars’ would be ‘toxic’ for children.
Dr Ablow was, of course, referring to Chaz’s transgender status as toxic. As in, ‘kids, don’t watch the scary lady-man on the TV because you’ll instantly be begging your parents for gender reassignment surgery for Christmas’, toxic.
You know what frightens me more than the idea of Cher’s kid blundering around a dancefloor in sequinned lycra? The fact that Dr Ablow is a best-selling author, as well as practicing adolescent and adult psychiatry. That, my friends, is effing petrifying.
Of course, if he’d had actually been referring to the act of simply ‘watching’ ‘Dancing With The Stars’ being toxic, he would’ve had my full, unequivocal backing.
Pity da fool.

Sorry To See: Photos Of Dead Things
If a shark attacks a human being, it is perfectly normal for several beardy types to launch themselves into the relevant ocean and return some days later, stinking of fish and brandishing the corpse of a random creature they have ‘confirmed’ as the killer of the unfortunate victim. The subsequent amateur photography of the same salty sea dogs grinning with amused pride provide some sort of comfort and closure to the hardy villagers and they all live happily ever after.
Sorry To See: Overtaking Fail
Forgive me, but isn’t the Tour De France the one place cyclists might expect to be safe from visually challenged drivers? Or do the organisers figure the race just simply isn’t hard enough to compete in without race accredited vehicles trying to knock riders off the road?
Sorry To See: David Haye’s Broken Toe
The culprit. Apparently. Image via badlefthook.com
It’s not a World Cup or Euro championship year, so your average English football player is far more likely to be sunning themselves on an exclusive beach or getting caught up in an odious sex scandal than being criticised for a poor international showing in an off-season competition.
Fortunately for the British tabloid press, who would lose at least fifty-three percent* of their source material if the English national team were to figure out how to play football with one another and simultaneously remain faithful to their partners, boxer David Haye had a big fight on July 2nd and the aftermath of that should be sufficient to keep the hacks bathing in fresh ire for weeks to come.
Sorry To See: Glastonbury On A Budget
Due to cuts at the Glastonbury Festival, the Scissor Sisters were unable to replicate their incredible performance of 2010.
