Ok, i'm not going to be an "irony" nazi, because it's plain to see that you are correct. But i'd say it's a staple for the ultra homophbic to expose themselves in a "american beauty" style, which i've personally experienced in St. Louis

Also, this is just a fragment. He rants about "faggots" for the first 5-10 minutes of the show.

i tried to present this to my ultra feminist girlfriend at the time and completely forgot about how far he went with this rant. No blowjobs were to be had that evening.

ever meet a white chick who watches all of Delirious and laughs at all the right moments?

Our sense of gay signifiers has certainly changed, and if anything has gotten more paranoid. Remember when Gung-Ho from "G.I. Joe" was a tough-as-nails Marine and that was it?

and thats where the police officer fell over laughing when eddie murphey said he was just giving the prostitute a ride home.

See, this is where I"m on Eddie Murphy's side. I don't find it implausible that he gave someone a ride home, who happened to be a hooker.

Hell, even Bort did that once. A woman in a parking lot smiled and waved at me like she knew me, I started doing the small talk dance ("um, hey, how long's it been anyway?"), and eventually it turned out she was confusing me with someone else. But she needed a lift home (a couple miles), and she offered sexy times in return, but I just gave her a lift. When someone needs something simple you don't exploit their need, you just help out.

... though I subscribe to the rule of ass, gas, grass, bass, brass, class, crass, glass, mass, morass, or sass. It was "crass" of her to offer (albeit darn friendly), so that was sufficient.
