Manti Not Gay' O

Katie Couric made a ratings grabbed interviewed Manti Te'o recently.  When I heard about the story last week, I tried to figure out what was going on, but it all sounded so stupid, I got disinterested really quick.  Initially I heard all these rumors from large outlets about Te'o and his father concocting a dying girlfriend story to create a compelling narrative for the Heisman Trophy Award.  I guess there is no truth to those, because I'm not hearing them anymore?  Because, you know, there has been so much truth to combat them I guess?  Chalk another one up for journalism!  Anyway, another rumor floated around was that he's gay.  Now, just when we have up and coming actors in Hollywood who (finally) aren't phased by their heterosexuality being questioned because they're not butch enough, etc (in fact, even play around with the notion by being prick teases, because there is nothing offensive about the question), now we have douchebags in the sports world who don't get it.  What is the learning curve there?  Another ten, twenty years?  Dude, if someone asks you if you're gay, but you're straight, you politely say 'no' or ask the questioner why it even matters if you were.  You don't condescendingly say 'no,' add a couple of 'far from it''s (emphasis on the 'FAR,' just in case you didn't hear him; he likes the PUSSAY!) and laugh like a dumb ass to an audience of chuckling female assholes, who are all relieved because Manti might screw them after the show.  But, of course, if you are gay and a dumb asshole, then you respond like Manti Te'o.  Mission: Not Accomplished to the more discerning.  Oh, and, thank you Katie Couric for sitting there with your thumbs up your ass.  (You might have to "hide ad" before watching the twenty-second clip of inanity; please let me know if the player doesn't work.)
