c9Seriously, dude, there's no reality in there any more.
365gay.com - Fox Television spent most of Friday furiously backpedaling after a press release trumpeting its newest "reality" show was accused of being homophobic.
"It’s a heterosexual male’s worst nightmare: turning gay overnight," said the p.r. statement, trumpeting its new show "Seriously, Dude, I'm Gay."
"For one week a pair of straight guys will immerse themselves in 'the gay lifestyle.' Each will move into separate West Hollywood lofts, complete with three gay roommates, to experience what it’s like to live life as a gay man."
If they master each of their challenges, the press release says, they’ll stand before "a jury of their queers" which will declare which of the two guys they believe is actually gay, and that guy will win fifty thousand dollars.
