Side-Split Score: 17. Mainstream Fags The Joke: Is it a coincidence that as America becomes increasingly fundamentalist Christian, it is also becoming increasingly homosexual? No, it's not a coincidence, it's funny! New knob-goblin' TV shows like Queer Eye for the Straight Guy only increase the humorous homosexualization of mainstream America, as well as the domestication-by-lameness of once-interesting homosexual culture, helping turn America into a frantic, sexually-insane comedic kook, like one of those zany characters in a John Irving novel! Sad Clown factor: Syphilis and other STDs among gay males on the increase since George W. Bush took power. Ouch! Side-Split Score: 18. Passport to Poshlust' The Joke: It's not easy to be the worst expat journal in Moscow, not with tough competition like Pulse, the Moscow Tribune, and El Diario Ruso around. But one new mag rose to the challenge in its first issue: Passport, whose 2003 debut featured articles on a bored rich expat lady who saves orphans, another bored rich expat lady who buys furniture, and a gushing suck-piece on Roman Abramovich, in which the author waxed lyrical on the color-scheme of Abramovich's private jet. As long as Moscow's anglophone community stays rich, bored and stupid, there's a niche for a journal as usurer-friendly as this one!
Sad Clown factor: Now LifeStyle and element are going full-color as well, meaning that the worse the writing, the more colorful the delivery. Side-Split Score: 19. Feis Kontrol The Joke: We thought 2002 was bad with the whole pafosny feis kontrol thing, especially compared to 2001, which was bad enough. Well, ho-ho-ho! Think again. 2003 has seen the whole Feis Kontrol thing spread so wide that even alcohol-drenched demokratichnie clubs started enforcing it. Sad Clown factor: Flounder once turned away from The Boar House. Ames once denied at Real McCoy. Extra Sad Clown factor: rude feis kontrol thug at Real McCoy was subsequently forced to grovel apologetically to Ames for his 'error.' Side-Split Score: 20. Buns Mcgillicuddy
