I'm not one of those television-hating people. I watch tv, and I absolutely enjoy shitty television as much as the next red blooded Amerikan. Certainly, I don't plan on planting my newborn in front of costumed singing televised dinosaurs for the first 12 years of its life, but I sure do love some Real Housewives hot drama....
However, as has been brought to my attention by numerous Wealthy Gays of My City, I have broken some cardinal rule of homosexuality by hosting a major nonprofit fundraiser on.... OSCAR NIGHT! Yes, it is true. My fancy-pants fundraiser, complete with burlesque, drag, free adult beverages, tons of food (including veg and vegan), and various other forms of merriment is on the sacred eve known as OSCAR NIGHT. By telephone, e-mail, facebook, and to my face, these Wealthy Gay of My City regret to inform me that they will be unable to attend this fundraising event because they "are going to stay home and watch THE OSCARS."
WTF? W.T.F. The vast majority of folks who are in the income bracket to afford tickets to this event certainly have DVR at home. If not, we are fortunate enough to live in a digital age in a digital country in which THE OSCARS will be available at the tips of our fingers on the interweb. Damn, folks could probably even watch THE OSCARS live! on their iPhones!
But, no, no... it appears the flashing lights of the Idiot Box are far more important that interacting with real live human people and helping to raise money to ensure our human rights. Do you truly want me to help protect your right to work or win the right for you to marry? Then, stop watching t.v. and attend (and/or fund) the revolution... it will not be televised on OSCAR NIGHT.
