yeah. when u break down gay network programming, you've got:
1. a sitcom where all the gay protagonist does is help his neurotic straight lady best friend. the message is that gay men can't have their own private lives, but support and guide the private lives of straight women.
2. a reality show where all the gay men do is service and better straight men. the message is that gay men are supposed to be good at shit, and their relationship to straight men is that of shallow service.

i'll never forget the comments shaq made about yao-ming and the indifference that resulted
black comedy's suck, but no ones gona admit it. ya, im a chinese boy n im afraid of black people, but not cuz theyr big or buff. im afraid of their lawyers and litigation.
they can make fun of everyone and we're all sposeda just take it as a joke, but if anybody sez anything about them they go nuts. of course, this doesnt enhance their image at all or cast off any black stereotypes, and it just causes trouble for everyone else
and us asians? we lack the benefits of minorities like affirmative action or a popular cross-over culture. we also hav all the disadvantages of minorities, with whites keeping us from the limelight, whether it be in entertainment business or politics.

Instead, the American viewing audience is stuck with cheesy "eye-candy" like Cleopatra 2025 and Relic Hunter....
And don't even get me started on the so-called "programming" that they target us gay viewers with...
