In brief: Brett Ratner said a well-established act in show business was gay. This flew through the Internet at the speed of, say, Oprah running. It even prompted an apology from Ratner but still that wasn’t enough.
This is a Batman panel from the 50s. It has not aged well.
Brett Ratner then delivered his resignation as producer for the Academy Awards to the AMPAS, whose full name is utterly silly and not worth writing out.
So, what I’m driving at is this: stop being stupid. And I say this as a man who does a number of stupid things daily, but normally with the mind of “if I eat the fried chicken park parm sandwich for dinner, I really must counterbalance tomorrow with a set of healthy vegetables. Perhaps a salad or a pickled carrot dish!"
And not walk into a group of people to recreate a Kentucky Fried Movie reference. Sorry, I meant this one.
