UPDATE

I've started cleaning up my blog, since Flickr decided to delete my account a few days ago. It will take a while. Thanks for your patience. If Flickr deleted your account, I'd love to hear from you! Link to my profile to send me email.

Bad News...


This is a photo of yours truly, Funfotoguy.

Apparently, Flickr deleted my account of almost 3,000 photos this evening. They sometimes go after accounts that have candid photos, and delete them. I really love the ease of blogging photos from Flickr, as well as Flickr itself. Flickr was the host of the vast majority of photos that appeared here on Beautiful Guys.

There's not much there now, but I opened a new account under the name Funfotoguy2 on Flickr. If you're on Flickr, I hope you'll look for me sometime soon, and add me as a contact. If you're a Flickr member, then try me here, at this link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/funfotoguy2/. Also, you can click here to reach me by email.

It's been a fun ride, eh?

It would be nice to find another service to host my tasteful (in my opinion!), candid photos without worrying about the service deleting my account.

For now, my plans for Beautiful Guys are entirely up in the air...but I am thinking on it, and open to your suggestions!

BRUNO is Brilliant!

I saw BRUNO the film this evening. Sacha Baron Cohen is brilliant! The film gets off to a quick start, and once the laughs start, they just keep on coming! GLAAD has criticized the film, stating that it "reinforces negative stereotypes" and "decreases the public's comfort with gay people." Boy, did they get it WRONG! Universal Pictures, on the other hand, got it RIGHT and maintains that "Bruno" is a satire that "uses provocative comedy to powerfully shed light on the absurdity of many kinds of intolerance and ignorance, including homophobia."

Gay people should not be afraid to appear or act differently than straight people, period. BRUNO clearly presents an extreme, provocative example, but it also serves to remind us that there's room for everyone.

WE'RE HERE, WE'RE QUEER! F*&KING GET USED TO IT!

I LOVE BRUNO!
