You guys are sick. Why would you want to watch women make out with each other? Women were made for men, not for other women.

i heard it on hfs (?) the other night. . . quickly turned it off, saying (in my best markie impersonation)- "Noooo," whilst shaking my head.

I still cant believe no one told you off for this.....<P><BR> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial, Veranda">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Rhett Miller:<BR><B> Women were made for men</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>So I guess it must be true?

thought i'd share this with the group.  since i know the wallflower likes the whole lesbian thing, i asked him if knew about tatu, here's his response: <P>I've seen it a few times on the MTV. In both english and russian, mind you. I'm way ahead of the curve on this one. The best part is how they resolutely refuse to say "we are lesbians". They are intentionally playing with the audience. It's such a gratuitous publicity grab. Eat your heart out, Christina.<P>Okay, I'm getting dizzy. (Calm down, [edit]. Be cool.) I need to shuffle off to the bathroom [edit] and dream of a life that doesn't so closely resemble hell.<P>the wisdom that comes from the wallflower.<BR>
