Queer Eye has made the cover of "Entertainment Weekly".

Is it that much of a hit?

Its the cover story of a fairly mainstream showbiz mag. ..the fab five on the cover...

...gee whiz!

1. Just goes to show where the U.S. media is...

By the way, I think it's a stupid show.

2. It's intriguing to people, and fits the stereotype . . .

. . . that gay men are more into fashion, food, design, etc.

It's entertaining, but I worry that it further "defines" gayness in the minds of straight people.

3. I was thinking the same thing

This show strikes me, the way it would have struck some Blacks if in the 50s they had a show where blacks showed up to teach whites how to dance and fry chicken.

4. Ha! Yes.

I think you're right!

I suppose it could be worse. At least now on TV we aren't all depicted as pedophiles or crazed murderers.

5. saw it... notso good

but more entertaining than the straight 'reality' shows. ALL OF THEM

6. Meanwhile, back in the Hall of Exquisite Consumerism...

It's got a few laughs, but the basic premise is turning straight guys into higher-level consumers (how many jokes about takeout pizza and Gap clothing can there be in the universe???) It's thus a pretty clever tool for kicking all that straight-boy disposable income into better furniture and skin care products, but that's pretty much all it is.
