Does anyone here has any experience using a chionizer? [livejournal.com profile] lbilover's Sean swore by it I was told :DD

I couldn't find it anywhere here so I have to order that online. We have the ordinary room ionizers, also the air-conds that have built-in ionnizers, but I thought a personal ionizer would be even more useful. Anyone?

On another note, what EW said about Sam & Dan of TAR 15.

The Amazing Race casting agents usually prefer their gay players to play to the broadest stereotypes of flamboyance, bitchiness, or haplessness. Which is why this team is going to throw homophobic viewers into turmoil, and possibly a deep spiral of tough self-questioning: Wait, these guys look and act like my frat brothers! And they celebrated their mutual coming out with high-fives! But...I high five, too. In fact, I just did, when the Eagles won. Does that mean I'm gay? Or are the Eagles gay? The brothers are hiding their sexuality from the other teams, hoping to get on the good sides of female teams that want to flirt with them and don't realize how pointless it is. Damn their sister for nearly blowing their cover by giving them matching orange passport covers!

Ahaha, so some people would be thrown into turmoil, eh?

From here.

I actually watched it the other night and I've never watched the Amazing Race. It was when they had to herd the ducks. I'd have roasted them, they were driving me crazy.

Yeah I like that the brothers are just average guys who happen to be gay not guys that are gay and happen to be brothers, you know what I mean. I get tired of seeing the stereotypes when there are so many different personalities. I mean just because you're blond does not make you dumb and just because you wear glasses doesn't make you smart. So why do folks think all gay individuals have to act a certain way. It irritates me.

The duck whisperer was hilariously amazing, wasn't he? And like I said to a friend, I now have this great desire to try wasabi!

How do you find the show? A friend said that the show was too frenetic for her taste. It actually gets less so as more teams get eliminated, and once you bond with your favourite teams, it gets even more exciting! I love the dramas between the members of the teams.

During season 4, there was this gay married couple as one of the teams. They were as hot as can be and no one would guess they were gays. That season drew some flaks from a number of viewers, some of them saying that they didn't allow their kids to watch the show because of that couple. Anyway, since then, the gay people in the race had been the more "stereotypical" ones. Until now. I wonder whether the brothers will draw the same negative talk as that other team ( so far there's none! )

I don't really know I mean that's the first time I've ever watched it. It didn't really bother me but then again I've not watched it that one time.

I really do not like judgmental, ignorant people that act like that.

Sorry I can't help with any info about the chionizer.

Gee, are we supposed to feel sorry for the homophobes because these guys don't fit the sterotypes.

I'm a bit wary of buying elctronic things through the internet since you can't try them beforehand, and returning the goods is such a hassle. But I really would love to have that, it sounds like it really would be useful!

Ahaha, but there're people in the SPN fandom who said that it's impossible for either Jared or Jensen to be gays because they're two strapping strong guys from Texas! Of course, in all probability they could very well be as straight as can be, but you know, saying that just because they're manly they couldn't be gays?

And I know plenty of RL limp-wristed, soft-spoken men who are straight, so.

The only turmoil I'd have would be the fact that it wasn't Sam and Dean. :D

Hee hee, Sam and Dean as in Jared and Jensen? That would cause an internet breakdown :D

Can you imagine if they really go together? *pingsanmati*

Ah, thanks for reminding me. I have to see the last parts so I know where to continue. :D

Btw, I'm sending another teen J2 fic to Julia. Will send it to you after she gives me back! Hehehe.

I forgot about Sam and Dan... Gonna have to check out the show now.

I've never seen that chionizer... My mother in law is in love with these: Oreck Air Purifiers

We don't have that brand over here. Does it work? Does the air seem purer around her?

*teases you*

:D

I use an Ogawa air purifier in my office room. Doesn't seem to make that much of a difference except to give a kinda comforting background white noise.

Yay, a potential TAR fan!! *glomps* Btw, the host called them Samuel and Daniel. And I kept hearing Sam shouting "Dean!" to Dan :))

When do you think Dean will start calling Sam Sammy? :D

And yes, I fully intend on calling him Dean all the time. Hehehe...

Heheh, I'd probably combust on the spot if TAR!Dean called Sam "Sammy". Or if they mentioned that they love SPN!SamandDean.

:D
