Gay Boyfriend

As opposed to the title the video is not as offensive as you would think.  It is quite humorous and at times complementary.  The video has some great aspects.  It includes the women who don't sing very well and if they did I doubt that the video would work as well as it does.  I like the use of lips and that the girls use lip phones.  The classic phone call where some is calling someone in the nearest box is a great testament to the old music videos.  The cheesy running through the meadows is another great homage.   Then there is the great sailor on a boat part.  Great little campy part.  Walking down a street with many marquees is terrific.  It's nice to have a cocktail party.  The superhero thing to end it is a nice touch.  It's low budget but a lot was accomplished with that budget. 

The video doesn't totally make fun of homosexuals.  It actually partially compliments them by saying how they do like to cuddle, go shopping with girls and also are sensitive to girls problems.  Not all guys are like that.  In a way the video actually makes heroes out of gays.  Whatever my feelings are on homosexuals, I find that video very funny.

How it pertains to class and the reading is that it deals with a subject that can seem uncomfortable to some but humorous to others.
