NPH and David made Humans of New York.

"I am allowed to voice my opinion just like every other poster on this board.

I won't be made to believe otherwise."

Who's stopping you?

"Please show me one other instance in which I've done this."

It seems a likely past or future event if you have a natural aversion to NPH, yet enter threads dedicated to him. I have shows/people I'm not that interested in... so I just skip threads about them.

Believe it or not. Not everyone has to agree with YOU, Kad. Trying to openly mock someone for their opinion is pretty sad. Disagree all you want, but there are adult ways of handling it.

What is that?

and I'm meh about their homogenized rich white gay personas.

Not sure they are "personas" any more than they are actually rich, white and gay. What is it that is "homogenized"? Their desire to get married and raise kids or their desire to be a family or the way they memorialize family events? Yeah, the birthday gift thing made me roll my eyes, but if I were filthy rich and my husband planned something like that for me, I can't say I would be angry or sad about it.

"Trying to openly mock someone for their opinion is pretty sad."

There is a HUGE difference between mocking someone and mocking someone's opinion, although you've seemingly merged them into one thing. The latter is fair game.

Queerty posted some coverage of the Met Gala- I am sorry, but the two of them stick out like a sore thumb.

If you want to be a child then it sure is.

How about a simple statement of disagreement without resorting to mockery at all? Too much to ask?

I agree with everybody who thinks they should blend in and not stick out like sore thumbs or be pale. At the Met Gala. They should have tried to be unmemorable.

I can see why people find them abhorrent.

I agree that had the original comment not mocked NPH, others would probably not responded in kind.

So, I guess we're on the same page, except I go to the cause to explain it, you focus on the effect.

"I am sorry, but the two of them stick out like a sore thumb"

When the theme of the ball is a tribute to Charles James.... no, no they do not. The structure and cut of those suits were a conscious choice. Thom Browne is a beautiful designer, and I think they look great.

You have your opinion, and I have mine.

Not when Donatella Versace is in attendance. She will always be the trump thumb at any fashion event.

Do I like their tuxes? No. Do I think they were out of place given who they are and what they were attending? Absolutely not.

The celebrated and rich lead different lives than mere mortals. The MET Ball is a perfect example. They were at a F**KING BALL. When was the last time all you "Cinderellas" had that opportunity? Your high school proms?

They're beautiful people with other beautiful and or filthy rich people.

It's a fun game for these folks. If you're appalled by it be happy that you're on the outside looking in and don't have to be in any way tainted by their extreme style.

At $25,000 a ticket.... I hope they had quite the BALL.

wow, look at what has ensued from one person who didn't like NPH's outfit. haha, THAT'S WHY I LOVE BWW!

Actually, you're not sorry at all. You seem rather gleeful about it.

I think the worst offense isn't the outfits worn by the two men (which are both quite awful) but it has to be David Burtka's highlights.

Maybe you'd find your grail easier if you got off your high horse.

I, A) didn't mock FOAntic, B) didn't assert my opinion was correct, and C) pointed out the opinion in question was both hyperbolic and inaccurate.

And yes, I am mocking you. Because- judging by your posting history, which is comprised almost exclusively of telling people how to behave and getting into arguments with people who rub you the wrong way and then vanishing for a year or so and then doing it all again- you really seem to like it.

What a sweet couple they make.

Meh. But I did wonder--on several of those photos if NPH just had severe makeup on to contour his cheeks like that..

[haterobics]

Posted: 5/6/14 at 6:21pm

No, I think he lost weight for the role and doing the role has caused slightly more weight loss than expected.

That picture on the Humans of New York FB page already has 39,112 likes and over 1200 comments. All positive.

Probably because it's Humans of New York and not Bitter Bitches of Broadway.
