So the other day I wrote a blog basically saying if you were a dude and wanted to see Magic Mike than you were clearly a gayball. Well the guy from Variety Magazine who had tweeted that he loved it emailed me to tell me I was juvenile and wanted to make it crystal clear he was ASSIGNED to see the movie so that exempts him from being gay. Here is the exchange.

Hey Barstool, all my high school buddies sent me the link to your Magic Mike story today. They think it’s hilarious someone besides them called me gay in a public forum, and I’m inclined to agree, since I’ve been reading you guys for years. Glad I could finally make it up there, though you should really give the movie a shot. Olivia Munn shows off her boobies and there’s no male nudity aside from one shot of the dude from True Blood using a penis pump. You’ve seen more penis in Any Given Sunday, trust me. I’m a straight male who brought a gorgeous blonde last night and we both enjoyed it. Your post was kind of juvenile but whatever. I get it. Just thought you could be a little bit more sensitive, especially since I’m willing to bet you $100 bucks that one of your Top 5 favorite actors is gay. Happy to grab a drink next time I’m back home in Boston so we can dish dirt on all the gay celeb Lakers fans. Feel free to use me as a resource, just know that if you have an agenda regarding a movie, I’d appreciate it if you could leave me out of it. Thanks!
Best,
Jeff

I don’t have an agenda. I think you’re gay if you see it. Nothing wrong with that. Gays are great people.

Got it. So you think that seeing Magic Mike makes you gay? How old are you? For the record, I was ASSIGNED to cover the movie, so I was there in an official professional capacity, but I know plenty of straight guys who plan to see the movie. Nothing I can say will get you to change your mind though… go Sox!

Honestly I think you’re gay by how vigorously you are defending the fact that you didn’t see it by choice. And if you weren’t gay going in then you sound gay now. Again nothing wrong with it. I’m not judging. Just that you probably caught the gay a little bit that’s all. No straight guys are going to see it. Fact.

Caught the gay a little bit. Yes, how mature of you. If I give you the names of 5 straight guys who see it on opening weekend, will you do a follow-up article?

How would I know those guys weren’t gay or didn’t turn gay mid movie?

thanks for the enlightening exchange. Always nice to swap emails with a local hero. Take care, friend. Might wanna delete these emails in case they infect you with “the gay.”
By the way, one of the Red Sox heroes you root for is gay, yet you’re still watching him win ballgames…

I have no problem with gays. I don’t care if the whole Red Sox team is gay. As long as they don’t prance around doing a strip tease giving it to me. You should come out of the closet. It would probably be like a huge weight off your back. It’s 2012. Nobody gives a shit.

PS – It’s killing me. Who is the gay Red Sox player? Ellsbury? Is it him? That fancy looking motherfucker?

UPDATE - So when I wrote this I didn’t realize this guy also was tweeting about us…
Haha. Chill out bro. Like I said nobody fucking cares whether you’re gay, straight or what. All I’m saying is that it’s a little weird that a straight guy would be this obsessed with Magic Mike that’s all.
