Nothing to be ashamed of there, I grew up in Ohio, and I didn’t know the Village People were supposed to be gay! I had to hear it from Saturday Night Live. They did a rock show spoof with Gilda Radner playing a Village People loving tween. She was “old enough to like their music, but young enough to miss the homosexual implications.” When I heard that line a little thought bubble with “!?!?!” appeared over my head….I guess it was the end of innocence….Thank God!

Oddly enough, my twin sister loved the Village People, and had a crush on the Indian Chief. I guess it wasn’t as obvious as some thought, or my sister was naive as hell!

Yeah, if the YMCA number and “Milk Shake” don’t do it, then you are in denial city.

You really do have to have blinders on not to see it…the amazing power of Denial!

Ah, the YMCA, where you can do such manly things as box and wrestle! This was on the other day, and my Mom asked me if anyone caught all the gay subtexts. I told her that at the time, no, since it did fail at the box office. If they don’t get it now, they never will.

God willing, you never will! And a belated thanks for the encouragement. I’d send you a prize, only that would violate Dennis’ ethics rules. (He’s so uptight!)

Great review! I just hope I never have to watch this one…
