"Saying pink is a form of red is the same as saying homosexual is a form of male." Well, yeah, they're both accurate.

We have a huge rodeo in Colorado every year. And, like many rodeos across the country, they do a one-day event to raise money for breast cancer research. And no, they don't call it Save the Boobies. They call it Tough Enough to Wear Pink. The Western-wear stores in town actually set up racks of pink shirts for men to buy. And they do.

Perhaps Brian would like to swing by and repeat his comments at the next rodeo. I'm sure the fine folks there would be happy to help him see a different point of view.

What a stupid thing to say! Thinking all gays wear pink!

Bryan90 · 19th Aug 2008, 08:25 AM

I wonder how Mark Feehily feels about this...

we do the same thing here for the livermore rodeo.

im sure brian would love to share his wisdom.

i guess he never heard about tough enough to wear pink. or learned never to piss off a cowboy.

Alexander · 19th Aug 2008, 09:14 AM

He's right that pink is a shade of red, and that a homosexual male is a dude. What a stupid, double-sided thing to say.

tah dah.

oh and speaking of pink, have you all seen this wonderful sign?

I'd love to see how people react to that!

-Michael- · 19th Aug 2008, 10:20 AM

ahah

Lets face it.

Brian Mcfadden was never the brains of the celebraty world was he.

Trumpetplyer23 · 19th Aug 2008, 11:45 AM

Wow. That's all I have to say.

It's celebrities like him who make the rest of the world think you have to be brain-dead in order to be famous

Micah · 19th Aug 2008, 06:47 PM

What. A. Tool.

Yeah like the underside of a angry bull.

Comments like this don't catch very far. Most straight men would wear pink and not have a problem with it. Brian is a dieing breed, thank goodness.

Level N Human · 20th Aug 2008, 12:46 AM

His denial-of-pink-as-a-form-of-red comment is hilarious.

You'd think that'd come from something like "The Onion", but the fact that he's serious makes it 10x funnier.

Emberstone · 20th Aug 2008, 01:03 AM

Pink never looked good on me. its like how my grandmother cant wear yellow. there are just things about our apperence that certian colors bring out and make us look weird.

20th Aug 2008, 01:19 AM

If you click on one of the links there, it shows another article that says his anti gay comments were just a joke.

Quote:

"To come to the conclusion that I am homophobic from these sentences is far from the truth," the statement read.

"Some of my friends and colleagues are gay and if I was truly homophobic then I have picked the wrong industry."

JK GUISE.

Like Level N Human said the fact that he's trying so hard to be serious makes it all the funnier.

pirateninja · 20th Aug 2008, 02:39 AM

So, basically, in his "joke", he said "pink is not red, homosexuals are not men, pink is gay"?

If that was a joke, then I'm Hillary Clinton.

Wander · 20th Aug 2008, 05:18 AM

Male here, don't like the color pink on clothing, but okay...

Alexander · 20th Aug 2008, 07:26 AM

OMG. It would make so much more sense if he was joking. I mean, if you think about it.

beckyg · 20th Aug 2008, 08:08 AM

When my son worked for Bombay Company he wore a pink shirt to work. He said this old lady about 80 comes up to him and taps him on the shoulder. She said "Honey, I just love your pink shirt. I think its great that young men aren't afraid to wear pink!" We loved it!
