We started the game last weekend-- that is when I noticed most of the views. Then it slowed over the week.
It follows the typical web usage patterns.

You know, actually, being 30% gay is something of an erroneous statement.
A more accurate assessment would be to break down one's sexuality into three distinctive categories:
0-33% = Heterosexual
34-66%=Bi-sexual
67-100%=Homosexual
If using these categories as a means to determine one's gayness, then Tim fits into the heterosexual category rather healthily.

True but what about the metrosexual catagory?

you haven't heard the metrosexual term yet. it means that you look and dress gay but are totally straight.

OK, then. If the guys on South Park uttered this abomination of a word, then I guess it must be real. Well, could be. Mayhaps someday it'll actually be entered into Merriam-Webster'sTM Dictionary. Then it will no longer be an illegitimate, bastardized word. (Whoever it was that thought up the idea that the simple action of putting a word into a dictionary somehow exonerates us from having taken [stolen] it in the first place, should be dragged out into the street and shot. The mere thought that this person would then euphemistically and erroneously rename a word's origins as its "etymology" is an insult to my intelligence. Let's just call it etymology. Then no one will think that we stole it. The person who made up the word etymology must have been an entomologist or something.) It isn't as though all the words in the English language weren't once that way, though. American English is, after all, the borrower, filcher, five-finger discounter, lifter, mugger, peculator, pilferer, purloiner, snitcher, stealer, swiper, taker, usurper, et al. of words from every other language out there.

Nah, Japanese is worse. Japanese only has like thirty actual words, so two out of every three words are mangled, abbreviated, mispronounced fragments of English words...

. . . and Korean, vietnamese and chinese including some stolen manchurian dialects. Leave to the Japanese to take a good idea, make it better and sell it cheaper than the people that invented it.  |

Ahh, yes, but at least Asians, on the whole, seem to have an intelligence that attests to their ability to create languages that are more difficult to understand than English could ever be.
I guess what I should have originally said is that we Americans are, on the whole, too collectively stupid to create a language as fucked up as Asian languages. After all, their languages are fucked up as a result of their intelligence while ours is fucked up as a result of our gross lack of intelligence on the national (as opposed to the individual) level.
Besides, I'm begging you to tell me where in Japan or China you've ever seen a Japanese or Chinese hick or redneck?

I know for sure that American English is one of the most ridiculous-sounding languages in existence. You know how inbred farmers from Kentucky sound -- twangy, mumbly, slurred and incomprehensible? Betcha anything that's how we 'Merkin-speakers sound to the rest of the world.
Wow, what a threadjack. YOINK
