You know the Mills-and-Boonish publicity photos of Jack and Ianto that we were laughing about? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they were published only in Attitude magazine and Gay Times magazine, not put up on the BBC website (as I said, do correct me if I'm wrong). This means that man-lovin' publicity was safely put away in the Ghey papers, where decent straight peoplez wouldn't see it. And in no scene in the actual show were they clinging to each other like that.

I agree with all of you 100% about this -- the cynical and cold-hearted way in which fans were manipulated about the whole show is just jaw-dropping. The only good thing (for me) is that I have discovered a lot of wonderful people and wonderful writers through LJ.
