Galaga Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 First it was The 40-year-old Virgin. Just now I saw a commercial for the tv show Bones where a male character is considered gay for asking a female if she would accompany him to a CP show. I know they're just jokes and there's nothing wrong with being gay if that's you're thing but, where do they get off? Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icedude2010 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Well coldplay is just so damn good I don't rlly care if ppl think I'm gay for liking them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc_squared Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Neither do I. Maybe we should all start wearing pink Coldplay T-shirts for a laugh!!:D As I've said before, how is it even an insult??:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 People are just immature and think anyone who listens to softer music is gay. I think in 40-Year Old Virgin it was okay cuz it's a movie and movies make fun of all kinds of things. But when people quote the movie just to call me gay, well, that annoys me cause people like that give Coldplay a bad reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 just saw that one for maybe the tenth time too. Just a very old joke that isn't even partly funny anymore. Damn 40-year-old virgin. No disrespect steve carrell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlight Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Because, frankly, Hollywood is getting stupider and stupider, and there's very little people these days with some intelligence. I can understand how it's in movies and stuff, but when people are ignorant enough in real life to say it to me it gets really old really fast.

Galaga Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 Just a very old joke that isn't even partly funny anymore. Never was. Maybe if they referenced Indigo Girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Hill Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 The only reason they use Coldplay's name is because they're a band that is extremely successful and makes MoR music that appeals across the board and not only to 18-30 year old men.

ManiG Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Apparently in June sometime, on the radio here.. one of the topics was whether coldplay fans were gay or not :confused: i didnt hear it, but my teacher told me, it went on for like hours and all these people were calling in for and against it... people have nothing better to do in their lives :rolleyes: their just jealous coz their not cool enough to like them :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marie/pims Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 It's crazy talk.I don't see how Coldplay is more likely to attract gay people than any other band.Whatever, you know, at least their name appears in a movie.I don't know for me Coldplay is a good example of the kind of music you find in Europe.I grew up in France and Germany with this kind of music coming from Britain.And I love it.Maybe American bands are not supposed to be that way or are supposed to be more rock n' roll.Can't stand Fall Out Boy and the likes though :P bbaaahhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki0012 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 True FOB's ok(by the way pete wnetz fucking annoys me -0-the emo shit_) but not as good as COldplay COldplays a worldwide act.... because of their success many have tried to take them down. but yeah I think its not to be taken seriously in the case.who the heck cares? If anyone affected by the joke then fine.... im not. But I know Graet music and it s COdplay:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so too...they simple call any male gay cuz what? 75% of the fans is female? Well maybe not 75% but the majority sure is. Gimme one reason why straight men cant enjoy CP. I find that shit offensive even if its meant to be a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guyy Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Because Coldplay doesn't have any obvious or major flaws, but they're really popular and need to be made fun of, so they get made fun of in incredibly stupid ways. I mean, "gay" isn't even an insult, it's just an inaccurate description. :P Also, somewhat more of their fans are female, and most (straight) people have this weird idea that gay men are feminine. It's really dumb and annoying, but not worth worrying about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackchickintheback Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Because supposedly Coldplay's fanbase is mostly women. They seem to appeal to the sensitive/thoughtful side of people. But seriously, that joke's kind of disrespectful to both gay and straight people. Music isn't supposed to have a color/gender/sexuality. It's supposed to be enjoyed by everyone. :nice: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*CoLdPlaY.4.EveR* Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Why?! I have a lot of friends (male) who like Coldplay and they never will be gay and say they like Coldplay! Mmm... To be "not gay" you must like Metallica or AC/DC...?! And Jonas Brothers?! hahaha (soooooo cuties.........) :rolleyes: And Tokyo Hotel?! I don't know if the singer is a boy or a girl... :dozey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPRani Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 This is the most stupid thing I've heard. I mean why the hell should people suddenly be gay if they listen to Coldplay? Doesn't make any sense at all, it's two very different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellynelly Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Hollywood has a good nack of recreating history, I think thats far worse than refering to Coldplay fans as being Gay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
