Wed. Watercooler: God hates nerds; ‘Degrassi’ loves outcasts
Canadian trans teen on TV. Canadian teen drama/guilty pleasure “Degrassi ” will take on a whole new level of adolescent identity searching with
this season’s newest character Adam—a transitioning FTM student.
The
newest Degrassi Community School student will be played by actress
Jordan Todosey. To fit the role, Todosey chopped off her long blond
locks and darkened her hair. To complete the look, she adopted a more
boyish swagger.
The Adam episodes are scheduled to air in Canada and
America, with the help of advocacy groups to ensure accurate
representation.
Check out the trailer for this season!
Snaps to Canadian television for broadening America’s definition of teenagers.
God hates comic book nerds. Tomorrow, San Diego Comic-Con International kicks off with four days of comic book craziness. Lovers of comics
from Wonder Woman to Anime will gather together and celebrate the
history and diversity of these graphic stories.
This year’s
convention is going to be full of Batman look-alikes, sure—but also
Westboro Baptist Church members? The infamous Wesboro Baptist
Church—the same group that protested Lady Gaga’s Monster Ball tour—has a
vendetta against comic book lovers. Members of the church will protest
Comic-Con on the grounds of obsessive worshiping of false idols. One
member stated to gixmodo.com , “If these people would spend even some of the energy that they spend
on these comic books, reading the Bible, well no high hopes here. They
have turned comic book characters into idols, and worship them they do!”
Here are 10 comic book Gods that ranker.com thinks deserve to be worshiped.
More gay marriage in South America. Following in the footsteps of Argentina where a gay marriage bill
passed in the country’s Senate last week, Paraguay and Uruguay are
considering legalizing gay marriage as well.
Uruguay seems the
most likely to succeed—the country already has several laws in place
that give gay couples rights to adoption and civil unions. Paraguay
proves to be a more difficult endeavor, as anti-gay movements are
already mobilizing, according to On Top magazine .

The domino effect seems to be gaining speed south of the border; maybe they’ll send some momentum our way.
Aussies against gay zombies. Eccentric art film/pornographer Bruce LaBruce is touring the festival circuit with his newest film “L.A. Zombie ,” which stars French porn star Francois Saget as an alien zombie who
can bring the dead back to life through sexual intercourse.
The
film was set to play at the Melborn International Film festival in
August until the Australian Film Classification Board refused to
classify film.

In
response, LaBruce said, “Although apparently the Australian
Classification Board has no problem passing all manner of mainstream
torture porn movies which feature, amongst other things, the rape and
dismemberment of women, it’s interesting that they have no stomach for a
movie that reaffirms life.”
Apparently gay necrophilic zombie love is too much for some people.
