The Adventures of QueerPenguin

I just don't understand...

...What Dan 'Lobotomy for Jesus' O'Connor is still doing on Gaybores.

His sole purpose - SOLE purpose - on the show for the last couple of years has been bod candy - the faggolicious Gaybores writers contriving painfully obvious situations in which he can be gratuitously unclothed.

But between the dudes who play Frazer, Oliver and Ringo - not to mention the all-growed-up (but soon-to-depart) Boyd - that function really is more than covered. And on a good day, Frazer and Oliver can act a bit, too!

Dan's redundancy is particularly pronounced now with the arrival of Dannii Minogue's gay husband, Benjamin Hart:



Presumably, Dan has a big fan base of target market girlies - his Christian City Cult Church sorority, no doubt - but are they really enough for the producers to warrant dragging him out this long? I thought happy clappers considered Carefree Barely There Liners blasphemous, anyway.

Perhaps it's the same people who watch(ed) Everybody Loves Raymond, NCIS, Numbers, and all those other piss-poor Ten shows that you never seem to know anyone personally who watches, but somehow they keep rating.

Irregardless, I'm confused. Nearly two years on the show and he's actually, somehow, gotten worse. You never expect the Royal Shakespeare Company on Gaybores, but Jan Russ has usually managed over the years to turn the young'ns from painful to barely competent - watchable, at least.

But man, she's REALLY dropped the ball with Dan.
