Are Bam Margera and Ryan Dunn *really* that gay?

Because dude. *Dude*.

ETA: Dude, I think I just pimped myself into being a tinhat about people on a show *I have never seen*. So um, this movie. Haggard. Is it...as gay as it looks? Because yo. With the...yeah.

Like, okay, as far as I can tell, Bam Margera/Ryan Dunn is all about a gay waifish skateboarder and his slightly beefier boyfriend who do dumb boy things and sleep together and sometimes hold hands and make out. I am not lying when I say this is the MOST COMPELLING SLASH I HAVE SEEN IN YEARS. It is amazingly super remarkably gay.

I um. Also find Jason Dunn to be inexplicably attractive.

But no! seriously! These are far and away the best pimping videos I have ever seen. DUDE, ARE THEY MAKING OUT? HOLY CRAP! AND SHARING A BED? SERIOUSLY?

I am very curious about this!

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

start here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFpbQ8RyCFU That is from Haggard, which is, near as I can tell, the thinly fictionalized version of their big gay love.

and then click on any of the related videos. A highlight for me was "Can't Help Falling In Love" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zsKHFRY7E8), which is from Viva La Bam and Jackass.

I...I *can't stop watching*.

also, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axDVHZPOrjs

Bam is the dark haired little one and Jason Dunn is the beefier blond guy with the beard.

Awww. Boys in love. I dig it. I would totally see Haggard. I'm digging the looks of Jason Dunn.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

They make me giggle a lot! And are totally in love!

Jason Dunn is really oddly attractive to me, though *far* more attractive with the facial hair than without. To me, anyway.

Jury's out for me re: facial hair or not. Obviously I will have to watch more.

So possibly what you're saying is that boys in bands (or in skateboarding tribes) are really how you like your boyslash. Also, damn, that wasn't even a very good song for that first vid, but it was still better than Tori Ryan Adams McLachlan but indier that makes up every other vid song in the universe.

I think it's more that I like my boyslash (and my girlslash and my het) where the guys (or girls, hi Babs and Dinah) seem to a) genuinely like each other, b) genuinely like being *together*, and c) like laughing. Like, it totally is that if I am shipping something, I want for them to be *happy* and to laugh a lot and smile and occasionally do incredibly stupid shit together and then be all, "WOO! WE RULE THE UNIVERSE! WOOO!" and then there are like, shots and drinking (or orgasmic chinese food) and tackling and "I LOVE YOU SO MUCH YOU ARE AWESOME WOOO!" and maybe Risk-playing.

And dude, the song choices for Viva La Bam vids are generally godawful, but I really truly couldn't stop watching them last night because *wow* that was some gay.

...and I totally admit that a large part of the attraction to both popslash and, apparently, Viva la freaking Bam, is that the guys act and look exactly like the guys that I know. *ponders* and that I think Chris Kirkpatrick and Jason Dunn are incredibly hot. And that it is blatant.

I swear to god, I have the *weirdest taste in the world*.

[jennyo.livejournal.com]

No, it's not weird taste; you have taste more like...well, okay, it's how Dan looks at Jamie Bamber and goes, "ew" and talks about the man-hot-ness of Tyrol and Adama (though I swear to god, it's Mary McDonnell's pimp mojo rubbing off on Eddie, cuz suddenly he is no longer That Ugly Actor. He still ain't pretteh but he is almost acceptable now!) and so on. You're not all that into pretty boys. Or at least, pretty white men. You like dudes/guys...and dudes who talk like dudes, which means you don't really want the Byronic declamation of love, you want, "Hey, choadsmoker, wanna get a burger?" "Hell yeah." "You're my favorite burger pal." "Aww, I'm touched, queermo." "Aww, you love the burger pal-ness, too!" "Do not!" "Fine, I'll ask JC!" "Fuck that, dude, you asked me and we're gettin' Fatburger, even if you're a queermo douche."

I mean, when someone announces they love me, I keep checking to see a) what they want, or b) how we fucked up that this information needs declaiming. I suspect it is much the same with dudes.
