Wayne Coyne Gets All Homo-SXSW-aul, and Apparently
Gay Is the New Fun-nay

The lead singer of the Flaming Lips was in Austin for South by Southwest and made some silly clippage as part of the "Let's Hip up Leno" segment on The Tonight Show. As we said, "gay" is apparently the new "funny," as each of the interviewees is sooooo verrryy not straight. Ish.

First there's EdMo from Hug, showing his tits. (Truth be told, the main reason for this blog entry is to pimp the most excellent EdMo and Hug.) He's so dreamy and so unqueeny. All man. All glam. And fabulous tits, brother.

Then Coyne tells two guys from some band named Glacier Hiking that they'd get more attention if they'd "have sex with each other in the middle of the street."

Then there's the cactus Coyne mistakes for a pickle. (Wayne: Sometimes a cactus is just a cactus.) Anti-product's lead dude suggestively nuzzling into the face of a hapless male bystander (who seemingly enjoys it), and the big finish complete with thong and ass cheek, courtesy of Austin homeless transvestite Leslie.

When did The Tonight Show, let alone Coyne, get so kah-weeeer? Or is this just more of that Snickers commercial hynuck hynuck straight panic that's been flirting with the mainstream of late?

Hmmmm. Gay is the new funny. Wish someone had told us. We were really getting good at the whole "strident, humorless lesbian" thing.
