Did anyone catch the new Venture Bro's episode?

What was the name of the song they played over the beginning? I know they said it in the bump, but I dont remember. I really really want this song.

Is the term 'gay' offensive when used to describe the sexuality of someone who is homosexual?

For example:

"Do you think Ron would go on a date with me?" Asked by a woman.

"I highly doubt it. He's gay."

I've heard conflicting views about this. I don't think there's a hard and fast rule, but I'm still interested in various thoughts on the matter.

Edit: Forgot a word! Oops.

If you use it matter of fact like that, I would definitely vote no. The term gay is, in fact, not offensive per se. IMO it only becomes offensive when explicitely used that way, e.g. "That's so gay!" as a put down.

we're not all scientist.

I don't think we have to use the clinical terms all the time. Just the non offensive, short verisons'll do.

PBS has a show called Secrets of the Dead. I love the theme song. I want the theme song. The closest I can find is some group named ZOAR who remixed it into an industrial dance form. I don't want that. Who or what made this song?

Thanks for the feedback, Gudy.

Maybe I should have chosen a different word than 'offensive'. I wonder if the term 'gay', when used in the above described scenario, would be considered oafish by some? Not necessarily hateful, but just kind of... unsophisticated, unpolished, crass, etc.

All the homosexual people I've known IRL (a whopping 3 :

) have used the term 'gay' to discribe themselves, and had no problem with with others using the term in a non-negative way. It's the same thing with the African/Jamacan/carriebean-American people I've known. They dont mind the term 'black' as long as it's not being used as an insult.

Which is a relief to those of us who aren't American.

Just to make things more fun, some people consider "homosexual" offensive. I find that position a bit silly, myself, although I would probably look oddly at anyone who persistently used "homosexual" instead of more colloquial terms.

I believe the "sophisiticated" term for homosexuals is "Ass Pirates." I could be wrong, though. Try it out a few times and let me know.

What webcast series do people watch? I'm into Ask-a-Ninja (for intelligence gathering purposes of course) and StrongBad. Was into Red vs. Blue for a while, but kind of fell behind. Are there other good ones? What are they?

Also, Rev... 3 day rule? What about those of use who go out of town for 4 days? HUH?

You're already off the list! Whee!

I don't know why. I just can't stand a cluttered list. It's just like being ignored, all those people there not talking to you. And when you message them, you cut off their conversation so you know they are around, they just don't feel like clicking on your name and seeing how you're doing. Blah, I say. BLAH

That's it.

You're so getting a proper scowling-at when you come to Boston.

You've been warned!

Shouldn't that be aluminium foil for you, now?

I continue to defy the extra-i convention.

It will always be aluminum to me.

The corresponding term for female homosexuals would, of course, be "The rug doctor".
