LéVI-STRESS

December 8, 2009

Young Alaskan Gentleman Gay Marries Convenience

by Juli Weiner  

Human technical foul Levi Johnston went on the teevee show of one of the View ladies that is not the View to talk about Levi Johnston. The red-headed teevee lady decides, on the spot, that Levi is a gay icon, informs him of this, and asks how he feels about it. Levi tells her he has never even seen a gay in the wild, so how is he supposed to know how he feels? He can’t possibly! Eventually though, he decides they “are people too” in so much as they are able to continue paying him the attention he is now convinced they are paying him. [HuffPost]

GREEN BALLOONS! GREEN BALLOONS!

If I had wanted to read a Huffington post gossip item or summary thereof, I would have already asked an Arkansan simpleton to split my cranium open with a sling blade, although some folks call it a Kaiser blade.

[re=473814]thefrontpage[/re]: I’ve been posting that on YouTube vids for Rod Jetton.

Anyone see the weird ad for pistachios he’s doing (“Now Levi Johnston uses protection”)? Saw it during The Daily Show last night; he’s certainly milking his accidental pseudo-fame for all it’s worth.

I thought the gays loved middle aged broads who belt out show tunes and hot Israeli studs. I would’ve thought teenage guys who stupidly impregnate the governor’s daughter would just remind them of guys who used to beat them up, but learn something new every day.

I cannot believe his 15 minutes have lasted this long…

Paterlanger December 8, 2009 at 11:16 am

Icon?

MattW December 8, 2009 at 11:18 am

Uh, was this before or after his chat with Andrew Sullivan? http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/12/heads–1.html

freakishlystrong December 8, 2009 at 11:18 am

Ick. Wake me when he gay marries Sam, the not-plumber.

[re=473814]thefrontpage[/re]: Exxerrrent.

Joshua Norton December 8, 2009 at 11:18 am

Sorry, but he’s not buff enough to be a gay icon. He’s more of a Cougar icon. They aren’t as fussy. They just like them young.

AggieDemocrat December 8, 2009 at 11:19 am

Sure, he hasn’t seen them out in the wild, but then again his bedroom isn’t “the wild,” now, is it?

Lorax December 8, 2009 at 11:19 am

“On Monday night, Levi Johnston went on the Joy Behar Show to talk about his new roll as a “gay icon.”

As a gay icon myself, it’s been my experience that getting a new roll is a quick ticket to being an ex-gay icon. Cardio, baby.

Green Balloons December 8, 2009 at 11:20 am

[re=473823]proudgrampa[/re]: In 5 years, who will be more famous: Sarah Palin or Levi Johnston? I’m betting on whoever poses nude more often.

Prommie December 8, 2009 at 11:20 am

[re=473817]norbizness[/re]: Umm hmmmmm.

RoscoePColtraine December 8, 2009 at 11:21 am

We didn’t fall in love with him for his eloquence.

sezme December 8, 2009 at 11:24 am

When it’s 40 below and a young buff Alaskan dude penetrates another young buff Alaskan dude, that’s not called being ‘Gay’, you cheechako, that’s just called survival!

Larry McAwful December 8, 2009 at 11:26 am

I know I can’t be the only one sensing a May-to-December romance between Levi Johnston and Liza Minnelli here.

SayItWithWookies December 8, 2009 at 11:29 am

There are no gays in Wasilla? Well that’s another thing they have in common with Iran.

Mr Blifil December 8, 2009 at 11:29 am

Gays have had a tough time ever since Liza got old.

Gopherit December 8, 2009 at 11:32 am

Johnston seemed comfortable with the position, despite growing up in Wasilla, where he had “never seen a gay guy.”

Right, it’s not gay if you blow a guy on a hunting trip. It’s what you do.

queeraselvis v 2.0 December 8, 2009 at 11:33 am

Generally speaking, we gays don’t tend to favor “the wild,” as it usually conjures images of entirely too much camouflage and/or dead animal heads as wall decor.

Come here a minute December 8, 2009 at 11:35 am

Levi’s belief in his popularity in Gay America can be easily explained: “There are some things that I have that are huge.”

Radiotherapy December 8, 2009 at 11:35 am

His mom’s a con too!

Flanders December 8, 2009 at 11:39 am

Leave Levi alone!

*sniff

TGY December 8, 2009 at 11:45 am

LEVI, PUT DOWN THAT TOMATO!

assistant/atlas December 8, 2009 at 11:47 am

Just curious, but when did Joy Behar get to decide who and who is not a “gay icon”? Does every sassy redhead have this power, or is that something you just have to have a TV show to declare? Because my knees are really starting to hurt trying to become a gay icon and if I could speed the process along, that would be great.

But more likely, I think it’s just that Joy is confusing “gay icon” with “gay masturbation fodder” … as I’ve never heard a ghey say they want to be a slow-talking high school dropout baby daddy whose only apparent skills are hunting and hockey. But then again, maybe non-LA gays are different?

Flanders December 8, 2009 at 12:03 pm

[re=473867]assistant/atlas[/re]: We had a vote. You were sleeping. We didn’t want to wake you up.

JooJoo Bee December 8, 2009 at 12:10 pm

14 minutes, 59 seconds and counting….

taylormattd December 8, 2009 at 12:13 pm

He was a gay icon until his mediocre Playgirl pics. Not that I won’t look a few more times.

Larry McAwful December 8, 2009 at 12:19 pm

[re=473867]assistant/atlas[/re]: If I were gay, that would make me want to make Joy Behar into a gay icon–y’know, ironically. It might even be worth becoming gay, just so I could make that contribution to Western culture.

Gregoire December 8, 2009 at 12:23 pm

He’s a gay ican’t.

Suds McKenzie December 8, 2009 at 12:29 pm

Julie, I would posit more of a “side out”, than “technical foul”.

NopantsMcGee December 8, 2009 at 12:35 pm

‘Icon’ is the wrong word.

‘Studly object of gay lust’ is more apt. At least in my house.

chaste everywhere December 8, 2009 at 1:04 pm

“Johnston seemed comfortable with the position,”
Which one?

[re=473900]Gregoire[/re]: Yes wi con!

Extemporanus December 8, 2009 at 1:34 pm

[re=473827]MattW[/re]: Before.

Behar said Sullivan stayed 12 hours with Johnston, and when he woke up he gave Johnston a kiss and said, “You should have said green room.” Sullivan left the woman’s show and has not returned.

hiphophitler December 8, 2009 at 1:37 pm

Um, Levi? The ones sucking your cock who are men? Those are the gays.

marioninnyc December 8, 2009 at 1:57 pm

I don’t think Levi knows what the word “icon” means, making him unsure how to reply to the question.

Joshua Norton December 8, 2009 at 2:06 pm

[re=473993]hiphophitler[/re]: or the cousins.

queeraselvis v 2.0 December 8, 2009 at 2:30 pm

Katie Couric: What newspapers and magazines do you read?

Levi Johnston: I read DC Agenda, Metro Weekly, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Playgirl, Vogue, Elle, In Style, Bears and Cubs, and Leather Weekly.

Autochthon December 8, 2009 at 3:35 pm

“are people, too”?! Next he’ll be saying they’re “Americans, too” and have, like, rights and stuff…

factnorfiction December 8, 2009 at 4:28 pm

NO YOU GUYS. NO BAD STUFF ABOUT LEVI “John” Ston!! He is a dumb kid from Alaska who thinks gays are alright. FULL SUPPORT (haha.) for our naked Levi!

caieva December 8, 2009 at 4:55 pm

Dan Savage had some great commentary on this topic…

LowerdPeninsula December 9, 2009 at 12:17 am

[re=474058]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: And, how is that mutually exclusive from the others?
