National Novel Finishing Month

[Lucywang]

"""Jerry Offsay, programming president of Showtime, has said that the U.S. version of the British miniseries ''Queer as Folk'' will be ''the sexiest, edgiest series to premiere on any network in America.'' Well, sorry, Jer -- if we're talking mass culture outreach, you've been bested by NBC's Nov. 9 ''Will & Grace'' episode, which introduced the concept of the ''three way'' as a sitcom sex plot point, and which probably led to many ''edgy'' conversations between parents and children (to say nothing of spouse and spouse) during the nation's hallowed let's keep ''Just Shoot Me'' on mute half hour.
As for ''Queer as Folk'': It started out as a 1999 miniseries on Great Britain's Channel 4, its title a play on a Yorkshire proverb, ''There's nought so queer as folk'' -- meaning, roughly, a Jim Morrison- ism: ''People are strange.'' The point of the TV series, written by Russell T. Davies, was to depict the lives of a group of gay men in Manchester, and to demonstrate with tremendous energy and gritty wit that homosexuals are not strange, but are as needy, horny, funny, dumb, lovable, and anguished as any comparable group of heterosexuals. Except the gay guys' stomachs were much flatter. If all these seem obvious facts, jolly good for you, but they invariably come as news to many people, some of whom were outraged by ''Folk's graphic displays of sex."""
