Just because it has sub-titles doesn't make it high class

So a couple of guys and I were in my office the other day, when the marketing guy starts talking about cable TV. He turns to me and asks if I have Time Warner cable, which we do.

He starts taking about some channel in upper 400 range that carries foreign films on it, particularly films that have gay and lesbian loves scenes in it. The operations guy and I are look at each other and look back at marketing and ask him what the hell he is talking about.

So the marketing guy starts going on about how the other night there was some French film on where two guys are banging each other in the ass (which, he proceeds to demonstrate by standing up and doing hip thrusts all around my office, thank you very much).

The ops guy and I look at each other again and I turn to marketing man and say “you know, you’re fricking gay now, right?” The marketing guy turns to me and says (all the while continuing to make the hip thrusts, which is really getting old now) “What do you mean I’m gay?”

“Because you’re watching gay porn”

“But, but, it’s in French”

“That doesn’t make it any less gay. Pretty much anytime you watch one guy porking another up the Heresy Highway, that’s gay”

“But it was in French. With subtitles and everything..”

“Just because it was in French doesn’t make it not gay. Actually, because it was in French, you’re even more gay now. You may have been gay light before, but now, well, it’s like you’re full blown gay. Don’t try to pretend that this was some sort of cultural diversity program. You’re gay. Now please leave my office”

Boy, was he bummed. Here he was thinking that he was getting free, cross cultural porn, and he found out he was just gay. Poor guy.
