Stereotypes are the bane of many people, eg. Muslims, Gypsies, Africans etal.

They can always say no.

The GayGuardian outraged!

Not the f-ing least because there are one women to four men in every cool f-ing gang! Exception being FriendsTV

..and what bloody good living they're made out of it

If more naked men were shown we'd automatically have less 60yo actors with 30yo screen wives.
