Comments on: My (Partial) Dream List of DC Reality Shows http://www.antirealworld.com/2009/07/my-partial-dream-list-of-dc-reality-shows.html MTV's newest season of "The Real World" is being filmed about 20 feet from my house. This blog will chronicle the pain and annoyance they put me and my neighbors through as well as the heckling my friends and I plan for the newest crop of "real worlders."

The food hear sucks and you are a muppet for suggesting otherwise. There are at most seven fine dining settings that could actually compete in NY LA or CHICAGO. Oh and Spike's food sucks. Great hats though. DC is a top culinary destination?!?! The food hear sucks and you are a muppet for suggesting otherwise.

Not to play into DC stereotypes, because its mostly a function of needing to be business appropriate, but we're simply not that stylish of a city compared to NY, LA or Miami.

While I did find Jonas Brother's comment "Gay" jarring, I chalk it up to immaturity, ignorance, and my aforementioned mis-guided attempt at wit rather than bigotry. While I stopped use of this straight-guy's insult back in high school in the 90's, I guess it still lives on as acceptable in some particularly dim-witted and slightly older (than high school) corners of our society. In regards to the "Victoria Secret for men" I am uncertain what he is looking for that would make it not "Gay." Perhaps a selection of Hefner-like silk robes and Playboy symbol boxers? Edible beef-jerky underwear? Boxer briefs with pockets and a long straw to hold two cans of Coors? Yes, that is what it was, Lamda Rising (www.lambdarising.com).

So does American Apparel. Just saying if he really wants to find stuff. Lambda has underwear he could wear. So does American Apparel. Just saying if he really wants to find stuff.

Way to go, Jonas Brother! You are in DC! The gays are everywhere and don't take kindly to condescension (at least this one doesn't).<br /><br />Also, for Jonas et al., I guess the closest thing would be Universal Gear on 14th Street. Decent selection of underwear but better deals are online. <br /><br />Is there a gay man in this cast? I mean really..... @CSnDC awesome sighting!

Great to know Jonas uses gay pejoratively. Way to go, Jonas Brother! You are in DC! The gays are everywhere and don't take kindly to condescension (at least this one doesn't).

Is there a gay man in this cast? I mean really…..

So about 30 minutes ago (about 3:20 pm on 7/9) I'm walking down Connecticut Ave and have my first RW cast run-in. I'm not sure how many in the cast there, but four were proceeding down the sidewalk toward Dupont Circle. Since I was headed back to my office I attempeted to trail with in earshot and listen into the conversation. Tall black guy, Gerardo, and the brunette were walking side-by-side ahead of Jonas Brother. I couldn't here much until Jonas Brother had a deep thought, as we passed a shop catering to Gay culture. The shop has two manaquins in underwear in the front window. Jonas Brother says, "Why don't they have a Victoria Secret for guys?" Brunette grabs his arm and pulls him foward asking "what?" to which he repeated his question. "I mean they don't have a place that sells sexy underwear for guys. Nothing gay, just, you know, nice underwear for guys." Tall black reponds, "Banana Republic." This did not satisfy Jonas Brother who shook his head and said "no, they have other stuff. Just underwear." At that moment I lost contact as they proceeded into the Dupont Metro. I can only now wonder how much more compeling that coversation got. Here I my impressions thorugh this brief encounter and purely visual analysis. The brunette and tall black guy seemed reasonably normal. Jonas Brother seemed normal until his attempt at wit shot him out of the water. Gerardo immediately sent off "tool" vibes. He was wearing cargo shorts, a "wife-beater tank," his trademark sunglasses, his hair extra spikey under gobs of gel, and abnormal John Boener-like tan (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/01/15/republican-leader-boehner_n_158316.html). Unfortunately, Gerardo never said anything clever enough to make me change my opinion. I'll stick with this opinion until I see the show.
