Breakfast Granola for 6/23/9

Here we have Black Eyed Peas bandmates Fergie and will.i.am to illustrate the further saga of BEP vs. gossipmonger/whoreblogger Perez Hilton. The latest punchline: GLAAD is riding the gay fat guy for an apology.

Rashad Robinson, GLAAD's senior director of media programs, said [referencing Hilton calling will.i.am a "faggot"]: "These are vulgar anti-gay slurs that feed a climate of hatred and intolerance toward our community. For someone in our own community to use it to attack another person by saying that it is, quote, ‘The worst possible thing that thug would ever want to hear,’ is incredibly dangerous. It legitimizes use of a slur that is often linked to violence against our community. And it sends a message that it is OK to attempt to dehumanize people by exploiting anti-gay attitudes.”

Makes me wonder what the fallout would've been from gay fat guy calling allegedly-gay black guy a "nigger" instead...
