Great piece from the Daily Show. My favorite jokes were:- "If you follow the world of sports and/or homosexuality"- Jon going nerdy with three gay wizards: Ian McKellen, Dumbledore and Jason Collins- Video cut getting Obama to say: "[Speaking for Jason] I'm still 7 foot tall and can bang with Shaq."- Jon Stewart and Jason Jones longing for the ability to make Linsanity-like puns that ended with GESPY (Gay-ESPY). In general, I found this a good piece in that it is propelled by an intellectual point (of how a non-flashy coming out is still important and impressibe) with a little light humor around it.

John commented on Read 22 Horribly Negative Twitter Reactions To Jason Collins' Coming Out:
“Love how 90% of these people have terrible grammar. Just shows the type of people that are homophobic. I seriously feel like who gives a shit? These losers are just scared of being called gay themselves.”
Lance Stephenson plays in the NBA for the Indiana Pacers, but "plays" is a generous verb to use. Mostly he rides the bench. So it should come as no surprise that he taunts like a lousy bench player during the playoffs.
The Pacers destroyed the Miami Heat last night, 94-75, to take a 2-1 series lead, but Stephenson had a lowlight when he gave the Reggie Miller Memorial "Choke Sign" after LeBron James missed a technical foul free throw in the third quarter. Clearly Stephenson is tapped in to the fashionable "LeBron James is anti-clutch" motif, but here are a few rules of thumb when deciding whether or not to display the universal choking sign:
1) If it's the third quarter, don't do it. 2) If it's Game 3, don't do it. 3) If the game is not on the line, don't do it. 4) If you rarely play, don't do it.
Sadly, Lance Stephenson forgot all these rules; even if he had a right to taunt someone, he should have taunted Dwyane Wade, who's been awful this series. Oh well. Get 'em next time, Lance.
The video isn't so great, but you can see Lance in his warmups at about the 0:26 mark.
