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.

Well coldplay is just so damn good I don't rlly care if ppl think I'm gay for liking them

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:

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.

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...

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.

Just a very old joke that isn't even partly funny anymore.

 

Never was.

 

Maybe if they referenced Indigo Girls.

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.

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:

Because people are stupid and can't think of their own fucking punchlines so they use some retarded joke from a movie

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

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:)

We like Coldplay, not Jonas Brothers :D

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.

There are lots of real gay bands outside there. :D

Yeah, I find it funny how people who listen to punk bands of guys who wear make-up can call Coldplay gay.:rolleyes:

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.

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:

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:

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.

No disrespect steve carrell...

 

You know he's not a regular here right?

 

:P

 

he probably won't ever read that :P

I wish I was gay :dozey:

I wish I was gay :dozey:

 

:stunned:

beacause of chris martins dance

Hollywood has a good nack of recreating history, I think thats far worse than refering to Coldplay fans as being Gay.
