Oh, and speaking of John Barrowman... and cock...

[tencrush]

Seriously, though, I hear they were egging him on??

For fuck's sake, he's a GROWN MAN. He's a grown man, in the entertainment industry, who lives in Britain and can't help, surely, but be aware of the climate that the Ross/Brand business created at the BBC, and the scrutiny that BBC Radio, in particular, is under at the moment. He should know better And at the end of the day, if you didn't get your dick out and wave it at people, you wouldn't have to apologise to anyone, so the lesson is, quite simply, DON'T WAVE YOUR DICK AT PEOPLE.

Give me strength.

Yeah, its what John is known for, but its a serious lapse in judgement on his part. I blame it on the giddiness and rush after the wheelbarrow schtick.

Well, quite. Though I think the only possible response to "I was wrong to do this and it will never happen again." is LOLOLOLOLOL.

I recall hearing Barrowman say somewhere that the reason he waves his cock around in public is because he thinks people shouldn't be so uptight about sex, but I think that's actually incredibly counteractive. Sex and nudity really are quite different things and for him to put his habit in a sexual context is actually just affirming everyone's worries about its inappropriateness. Sex is something people choose to be exposed to; he can't just expect people to loosen up about it by showing them his junk.

It's like asking Lassie not to bark.

Apart from the initial eye-roll that anyone would still expect him to keep it in his pants, I was terribly amused by two things -

1) He exposed himself on radio and people were upset??? Dudes, do they have special radio in Britain that I don't know about? It's radio - nothing to see here! (or was that the problem, they couldn't see it?)

2) Secondly, "He didn't get it all out, only his fruit and nuts." !!!
I'm not sure what is more scary, that he calls it 'fruit and nuts' or that there was more in there! 'Fruit and nuts' sounds like everything to me! - now I have to know - what else is IN there ?????"

his flashing tendancies aside (b/c sometimes i really wish he'd stop it) this was a radio program, right?
how can you complain about someone flashing you on the radio? it's not like he whipped it out in front of live tv cameras (or were there cameras too?)

Well, if there *was* a camera and the dick-on-display *was* on the interwebs, WHERE'S MY COPY?

This is a bunch of hooey. He's a grown man, he should keep his pants zipped in public. My 8-year-old has learned that lesson, although it was difficult.

On the other hand: RADIO.

...why does he think that getting his junk out is going to make people less uptight about sex? No, for serious. How does that make ANY SENSE AT ALL, Barrowman?!

Gah. Go lay low for a bit and don't come out unless you're filming something (like Who) with a nice friendly script you can follow. And keep your clothes on.
