Retarded politics
(CUEUP: “Destroy Everything you Touch” by Ladytron…)
(CUTTO: An Espresso Royale., somewhere in Boston…Sitting around a hand painted little blue and yellow table, we have last year’s Survivor winner, OLIVIA, in jean shorts, girly sized “Dresden Dolls T-shirt,” black hair back in a ponytail, Massachusetts Governor MITT ROMNEY in a “MWG: FAT POWER” T-shirt, and KRIST BLUE, who’s dressed like a star fu<king hipster like she usually is…The trio sip overpriced but delicious lattés out of glasses and converse, because they are intellectuals in a coffee shop…)
OLIVIA: Look, don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled to finally find out my brother isn’t really dead, after all these years of thinking my family had basically abandoned me, and all that jazz, and I’m glad he’s gotten some success and happiness off what he does, but it’s….(sighs)
KRIST: What? Just be blunt. Be so blunt you’re being crass. It’s more shocking that way.
OLIVIA: It’s pro-wrestling, and his little persona within pro-wrestling especially.
MITTSTER: What? Are you some kind of homophobe?
OLIVIA: I just think most wrestling fans are.
MITTSTER: That’s not fair.
KRIST: No, she’s right.
OLIVIA: While we’re on the topic, I think a lot of them are misogynists as well.
KRIST: Lost me.
OLIVIA: Think about it. Most of the female characters in wrestling are these hyper-sexualized mindless bimbos. NEW, to it’s credit, does a little better by having women who are displayed as legitimate athletes-
KRIST: Yeah. The commissioner’s a chick. She’s a wicked inspiration to all of us.
OLIVIA: True. But nine out of ten times, the function of women in wrestling is to follow their men down to the ring, look pretty while he wrestles, and maybe do something catty now and again to keep things interesting.
KRIST: Basically like what I do.
OLIVIA: No Krist, because you’re always keeping things interesting.
KRIST: Aw, thanks. You’re a peach.
OLIVIA: My point is, women in wrestling are usually defined exclusively by their gender and sexuality, and all their actions are derived from those things. They’re like, what feminists don’t like about cheerleaders, times twelve.
MITT: Yeah. A lot of cheerleaders are male. Plus they all do flips and things.
OLIVIA: But Em’s marketed the same way. And so are all the other homosexual wrestlers. What’s pushed to the forefront about him isn’t that he’s a world class athlete, or a multiple time champion, or anything else about who he is as a person. Just that he likes to sleep with other men, and how unbelievably disgusting and freakish that’s supposed to be. You almost never see straight wrestlers make being straight their gimmick…So Em has to dress like a retarded drag queen all the time, and act like he wants to nail every man he sees. And that perpetuates outdated stereotypes and gives fuel for fear-mongering, opportunistic assholes like (points to Mitt) you who give legislative head to the lowest common denominator, hoping they’ll keep feeding your power addiction. You can get on TV, point to my brother and say, “See kids? Gays are all psychotic subhuman perverts after all.”
MITTSTER: What did I do?
OLIVIA: For christsakes Mitt, even with the gay marriage thing aside, you gutted funding for gay youth suicide and violence prevention. You’re selling out the better interests of the state that elected you, to make yourself a more appealing presidential candidate to rednecks, born agains, and sociopath lizards like Ann Coulter and Bill O’Reilly.
KRIST: And the Phantom Republican.
MITTSTER: Who?
(CUTTO: EM…DUBBAYA….GEE….spunky as eva in front of an NEW logo banner, massive pink feather boa draped over his shoulders, no shirt, leather pants, big fake eyelashes, purple lipstick. Hands clutching shoulders like he’s covering up the tits he doesn’t really have, staring just hard enough into the camera to make you a little uncomfortable…)
“the IT boy”
“the surreal”
Do you mean to tell me, Mr. Phantom…that you’ve never wondered what it would be like? Not once, has it ever crossed you mind, even for a teensy little milli-second?
I’m no mind reader. Maybe it never has. Maybe it does…All the time.
And that, my darling, more than anything, is what separates us. I never wonder. I just go find out.
We’re all going to be dead some day, my love. I’d prefer to regret things I’ve done than things I didn’t do.
It is a shame you lost your title. I lost mine too. It would make me very sad, except, well, these things happen, I suppose. But still. So sad. So very sad. Boo Hoo. (chuckles) But we can console each other. Just as friends of course. We can keep our underwear on, and you can feel my chest rise and fall against your back and not feel alone. It’s okay baby. And of course, Beau Michaels is a horrible, heartless, meanie bastard….As much as you hate him, I assure you, I hate him more.
John Doe’s been rather passé for quite a while. I care less than I used to, which wasn't a lot to begin with. And the other Johnny, angry Johnny and I….We have our “history,” but that’s all in the past now. I do hope he’s forgiven me, and that we can still be friends. 'Cuz I'm gonna need him to like, count when I'm pinning some one 'n stuff. Muah.
Because I shan’t fade away. If I was going to do that, I would have already. You can take my title, you can take my memory, you can send me to one of those Christian camps where they try to reprogram all the gay boys and girls by locking them together in rooms for extended periods of time with nothing to do….And I’ll still be back. Because I am utterly insatiable. And really, I have no idea what else to do with myself, but sing it to the tune of Faggot…fffffffffaaaagot…..(high pitched/soprano) FAGGOT!!!
