"Not Helping" Defined

Honestly, I keep trying to come up with something clever, but I loathe wasting the slightest bit of thought or energy on the useless, unctuous, mean spirited bore that is Perez Hilton. Bruce Vilanch once called him a "professional homosexual." If that's the case, I want to know where this bozo received his training, because this:

New York, NY, June 22, 2009 – The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) today issued the following statement in response to a video posted by celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, in which he made the following remarks about a confrontation with will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas and members of the band's entourage.

"And that is when I made the split-second decision - that I was gonna say what I thought was the worst possible thing that thug [will.i.am] would ever want to hear. As I was standing my ground - without being violent or physical which I would never do - I told him - and you know what? I don't need to respect you and you're a f**. You're gay and stop being such a f***ot."

... isn't what I would call "professional" behavior. Ahem.

I can't add anything to this:

"These are vulgar anti-gay slurs that feed a climate of hatred and intolerance toward our community," said Rashad Robinson, Senior Director of Media Programs at GLAAD. "For someone in our own community to use it to attack another person by saying that it is, quote, 'The worst possible thing that thug would ever want to hear,' is incredibly dangerous. It legitimizes use of a slur that is often linked to violence against our community. And it sends a message that it is OK to attempt to dehumanize people by exploiting anti-gay attitudes."

Oh wait, I can.

Perez Hilton, please fade into the pathetic obscurity you so richly deserve.
