Today's comment: The 'homophobic' Bill and Ted's Excellent Halloween Adventure at Universal Studios is NOT satire, just a not-so funny drunken improv high school warm up scene

In today's thoughtful comment on the internets, I react to the news that Universal Studios Hollywood has nixed this homophobic show:
I remember doing a gay satire that I wrote for my college theater troupe, it was called 'Undercover Homo: West Hollywood's Man of Mystery' that mocked james bond, John Travolta, Monica Lewinsky, Bill Nye the science guy, and the theater faculty chair. It was hilarious because it was basically unique, while this Bill and Ted show is just using horrible yet boring cliches of times past recited by childish untalented overpaid lazy writers. I don't find this offensive at all because of the supposed homophobic content, I find it offensive because it is a direct insult to the art of satire.
