Bret Easton Ellis Compares Glee To A Puddle Of HIV

Bret Easton Ellis, author of American Psycho and Less Than Zero who is also bi-sexual, started a small Twitter fire of rage the other night when he said that watching Chris Colfer's Le Jazz Hot number from Glee made him feel like he caught HIV via puddle steppin'. Bret has a really strange way of flirting with Victoria Jackson and asking her crazy ass out on a date. But her answer is: YES! YES! YES!

You know whats interesting? If Michael K had said that comment everyone on here wouldve taken it much more light-heartedly. I laughed when I read it...*runs out room and avoids HIV puddles*

Come on guys...we aint that sensitive(are we?).

I'm reading B Easton Ellis book, "Glamorama" right now. Just got to the part where they kill the ambassador's son. I am finding the whole mess rather odd.

WTF? I just watched that Victoria Jackson interview. She seems to have the mentality of a 3 yr old. Just bizarre. The way she kept looking up as if to try and recall something she had memorized that she wanted to say... Weird. Die, cunt.

For some reason I only really enjoy rock stars shitting on Glee.

I think the only people shocked by this are people unfamiliar with Bret Easton Ellis' writing. He doesn't exactly see things the same way as everyone else. American Psycho will make you question his sanity. The part about torturing the homeless man made me feel faint
--------------------------------------------------
Thank you Louise for saying what I've been thinking. Anyone who read "American Psycho" instead of watching the very watered-down movie would also feel faint. BBE's descriptions of the torture of women in that book made me throw it across the room on several occasions. I couldn't believe anyone could conceive of such horror. This stupid statement about HIV is what we can expect from Ellis, he's becoming an 80s artifact and wants to be relevant again.

I wish Brett had come down with it and BEFORE he wrote that piece off shit "less than zero". The problem with HIV is all the WRONG people get it (still holding out hope for YOU Victoria!)

I feel like bi dudes are rare. They usually end up going one way or the other. Takin' that bi train to gay town, muthfuckasssss.

LMAO. I do not support what you said, but the way you said it was hilarious.

I think they are probably not as rare as you would think, but it's not socially accepted for guys. Not all bi's are in transition.
---------------------------
Meant no offense, friend! You're right, society is much less accepting of bi men. I'm a lez and initially told people I was bi, but I know that's not everyone's story. I guess I've always though of women's sexuality as more fluid and men's as more black and white, but perhaps that is ignorant of me.
---------------------------
If a woman is bi, it's freaking hot...if a man is bi, it's really not.

I never understood why people find two women kissing so hot but two men kissing absolutely repulsive :/

JMO. Kissing is kissing whether you're a man, woman, hermaphrodite, etc. :P

I don't give a fuck about Glee or whether people like it or don't like it.....what-fucking-ever. That's just a truly fucking assholey thing to say.

Clever people come up with more intelligent things to say. His comments are dripping with douchiness and the stank of someone who still believes their own press from 20 years ago.

And I want to fucking kick anyone who uses the term "Butthurt" in the fucking nuts.

Maybe he wasn't emphasizing the "gay" but the detrimental contagiousness. It is kinda like watching some kinda mass hysteria, that's fersure.

I'm surprised by how quickly people will rationalize his behavior.

Regardless of whatever you think of Glee, it's not funny. Maybe if it were offensive but done in a way that that was sophisticated or refined, well then it may have been an okay thing to say. Sarah Silverman tells jokes *about* racism that are edgy but they're not *racist* jokes.

For a writer, who should be well versed in irony, humor, and the like, he fell flat on his ugly face and looks like a complete TWAT.

Anyways, I'm so tired of people trying to intellectualize assholedom the way he does with American Psycho. I won't be happy till he's flayed for his FUCKERY.

What about Bret Easton Ellis work or personality ever said "politically correct"?! What do people expect? I believe he is into the peen, as well- that doesn't mean he has to be super sensitive, though. Pretty much every joke is offending someone at some point, I'm sure he doesn't care, and neither do I really. Except that my own friends have started to chide me for stupid jokes and it's to the point of ridiculousness.

I guess he's my new fave, loved his novels but now I love him. Glee is just so much bullshit with corny ass people imitating musicians like tweens do in the mirror singing into their hairbrushes. We all went through that embarrassing phase and dont need to see a bunch of fugs recreate it. Paltrow getting a kick in her dying career from this shit only proves my point and Ellis' too. WTF is wrong with us Americans that this shit is a top show?

Ellis is a big time junkie who squandered his considerable talents on the needle. And the only thing "bi" about him is locked in the closet with Tommy.

Heh, exactly. Or it's like Howard Stern used to say, "you're bi? So you like men AND boys?"

In southern Africa (South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe), some whites refer to HIV as Henry the Fourth.

hoganbcmj's picture

I think his point is probably that the show could stand to tone down the GAY, and as a gay man myself, I kind of agree. I tried watching the first half of season one and just found it ... light.

BUT, you don't use "HIV" to casually refer to something's gayness. It's a totally insensitive thing to do. Not cool.

Yeah, associating gayness with HIV is not homophobic at all. :/

will.i.am's picture

I get what he's trying to say, and it's stupid. I mean I'm gay but Glee is GAYYYYYYYYY if you know what I mean. No one ever really picks that I'm gay cause I don't flaunt it like Glee does with the whole homosexuality issue. I mean yeah I'd like for people to understand it isn't a choice and how hard it really is for kids growing up but Glee kinda does shove it down everyones throats every single episode which makes it even worse in some ways. There was 1000 different ways he could of said what he wanted to say a bit better. It's ignorant cunts like this why I tried to kill myself couple of years ago because I felt like I didn't belong in the world.

BEE, never change your crazy. It's Twitter. Who gives a fuck what anyone says on it? People need to get over the butthurt, especially over that unevenly written, sterotypical, iTunes selling piece of shit show.

People who think HIV is a punishment for homosexuals need to look at the continent of Africa. There people are killed without discrimination: babies, whoever, all because of a ruthless disease.

I think that was supposed to be a parody of Rent. I always laugh my ass off at that part because I absolutely despised Rent, which is probably as politically unacceptable as not liking Glee, but whatever. I only saw the movie version, but I thought it was the most awful, preachy shit with the world's most unlikable characters. I only liked two (Angel & Tom) and they killed one off! Oh, and apparently heroin addicts are awesome and if you don't want to date one, there's something wrong with your heart.
---------------------------------------------

"Rent" is a modern re-telling of the opera "La Boheme." In La Boheme, everyone was dying of consumption (tuberculosis).

I saw Rent on Broadway and it SUUUUUUUUUCKED. I never thought I could hate a Broadway musical but I really hated it. I feel like it was a turning point for B'way musicals, paving the way for terrible crap like Mama Mia and the Spiderman musical.

Agreed. I hated "Rent". Saw it in LA with Doogie Howser and it was torture to me. And Trey Parker called his musical "Lease" and the chorus went "AIDS! AIDS-AIDS-AIDS!!".

"Glee perpetuates some very cliche stereotypes about gay people. Ryan Murphy is not helping the cause. Not all gay people get HIV and not all gay people get Glee."

I would disagree with that, so far Glee has had 3 gay characters and they all have pretty different personalities. Kurt, Blaine and Karofsky are all really different from one another. Besides, it is hard for Glee to portray anything as a stereotype because every character gets a new personality in each episode.

Ever seen Trey Parker's "Team America" where the hero is plucked from his hit Broadway uber-gay show? The lyrics are hysterical.
