Fascinating Flashes: The Out and Proud Edition

-The has-been celebrity who continues to bounce back as stubbornly as a wayward curl on a cloudy day - no matter how much you’ve tried to tame it or make it disappear from your head and out of your sight - David Hasselhoff, has revealed that his former co-star in the television series Knight Rider, Kitt the car, is gay and that he was forever coming on to him.

When Kitt heard these blatant allegations, the shiny black Pontiac Firebird Trans Am replied in that sexy voice of his: “What a turbo boost to his ego! Just because he used to ride me, doesn’t mean that he was my type! I may only have artificial intelligence, but intelligence is the key word here. And just because I’m a vintage 80s model doesn’t mean I like my men to be stuck in the 80s too, complete with the bad hair, like David. If he continues to insult me I’ll drive over him.” Via Celebritymound.

-According to Timbaland, the hip-hop producer who performed a duet with Justin Timberlake on the singer’s popular single SexyBack, the song will make men gay. Timbaland told Blender magazine: “Some people listen to a song like ‘SexyBack’ and think, am I queer? Am I funny? If you are that way, you’re just that way. But if you’re a masculine man, embrace it.” 

We had to try it, so we picked the place where the most homophobic men were assembled, and we subliminally inserted SexyBack in a Steve Hofmeyr track played during the Currie Cup finals on Saturday. For the rest of the weekend, Bloemfontein resembled San Fransisco during the height of the Gay Pride festivities. Tough farmer types, who think romance with a woman is wham, bam, and not even thank you, ma’am, suddenly got all touchy feely and were openly embracing other men. So it is true. Justin Timberlake is the new Cher. Via The Bosh.
