Kor37 9 Posted August 29, 2008 Coming out has indeed helped his career. He can now degrade himself and make a daily fool of himself on the Howard Stern show............. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaboGirl 7 Posted August 29, 2008 I'm fairly neutral about the whole 'homosexuality' issue, however I did have the pleasure to meet George in person and he was nothing short of a wonderful human being. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theunicornhunter 2 Posted August 29, 2008 I suspected the reason he did come out was for the publicity and hence career opportunties - it seems to have worked for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethlehem 7 Posted August 30, 2008 If it helped his career, I say great. I always wished he had done more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eratosthenes 0 Posted August 30, 2008 That's great for him. He kept it a secret so long because he was afraid of the social repercussions...I'm so happy it's actually benefited him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kor37 9 Posted August 30, 2008 Coming out has indeed helped his career. He can now degrade himself and make a daily fool of himself on the Howard Stern show............. Just curious, but how is he making a "fool" of himself? Here is just a small example. BEWARE: THE FOLLOWING IS A BIT GRAPHIC: Click for Spoiler: THE PRETTIEST PENIS CONTEST Howard then welcomed several men for The Prettiest Penis Contest. The first contestant was 78-years-old and fully nude. George said the guy's penis was “a well-balanced penis, but it lacks a little volume.” The second contestant, Maury, whipped his out as well – after a little “chubbing up” - and George was unimpressed. George was more excited by the next contestant, Mike, who also had a “well-balanced” penis. The fourth contestant, Go-Go Boy, said he was a try-sexual (“I try anything”) and George loved his package: “It's beautiful. It could use a little bit of a workout.” The next contestant said he was “one of the original jackasses,” and, despite his best efforts, ended up having his “entry” dismissed. The next guy had a circumcised penis but used a device (Fred called it a “penis restoration cone”) to regenerate his foreskin. George was impressed (“Good for you!”) but gave the award and the $500 prize to Mike, the third guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethlehem 7 Posted August 30, 2008 Everybody has dirty laundry. Since George is a actor, his is more out in the open. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Odie 0 Posted August 30, 2008 I don't listen to Howard Stern nor I will do so in the future. I really don't care what he does on that program nor my opinion of him will not change because of it. I watch George Takei base on acting abilities not his sexuality and what programs he is on talk radio. After all this is Howard Stern of Pete's sake! I would not expect anything less from his radio program! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
