I was there yesterday, looking for a card for my baby doll, and it occurred to me -- there's no same-sex Valentine's Day cards! I was so offended I just collapsed into fetal position and started weeping. The clerk came over and asked me to stop making a scene and then I really lost it.
"Oh, so now I know what it takes for you to notice me!" He totally didn't get it! I wept some more then finally mustered the courage to rise to my feet and march out of that homophobic store. I had been already been offended 46 times that day but nowhere near as bad as that.
The excerpt above is from the latest installment of "The Blogosphere Says What?", a hilarious series of satirical blog entries by ATLMalcontent. It's great, great comedy writing.
I believe that the series was inspired by Malcontent's realization that a certain local blogger's posts unintentionally shared a clueless-and-breathless sensibility with The Onion's fake entertainment columnist, Jackie Harvey.
To his credit, however, instead of just poking fun at this one blogger, ATLMalcontent created a character that examines an attitude and a worldview -- the attitude and worldview propogated by what ATLMalcontent calls the "petty queer establishment."
