As others have already stated, the fact that someone would be bisexual or bicurious can explain this behavior. However, I think your real question is: IS it well written? Is it well illustrated?

Although I have not read the omic in question, I am left with the impression that you did not find it well done, instead, you found it exploitative.

And apparantly like Brett Favre, somewhat overhyped.

This all does sound like a sensationalist porn move on the creator’s part, but let’s take a step back. The line between comics and softcore porn is often hard to find. Isn’t that partly why we like them?

I thought we liked Tarot because it's empowering?

Speaking of which, sean, how many of the people you know have “experimented” with their sexuality?

I do, but it from the way they describe, it sounds very different to the way you see it portrayed in the media.
ie. As it didn't change their sexuality, or make them want to be bisexual, or even do it again it's not necessarily their proudest moment.
Not that they are ashamed by it, but for instance I know one who makes a joke out of it and another who's just like 'I really don't know why I did it'.
That said, I also knew a girl who would sleep with other girls as part of a three-way, but still considered herself hetrosexual.
That said, it is by far in the minority of people I know, and I've never actually seen a fictional representation that sounds anything like they've mentioned to me.
(And I imagine if they had everyone they knew walk in on them at that moment, they would have felt the need to change their names and social groups).

American Pie joke?

Well Ryan,

I thought it was more of a "Real World" joke with an Alyson Hannigan intro.

But thanks for pointing it out. It didn't occur to me that a 9 year old reference could be lost on some of our new "younger" readers. Good Catch, TOUGH GUY!

In Justice League: The New Frontier Special #1, I was a bit disappointed that in the first story, Superman is deputized by Eisenhower himself to go after Batman, and it reads far too much like a retread of The Dark Knight Returns.

I respectfully disagree.

This story significantly dovetails into the DVD.

In the DVD, the respective Superman/Batman/Wonder-Woman story arcs have been fleshed out and given more "air time".

Superman's conflict (which Darwyn admits in the commentary section of the DVD, was originaly similar to the Dark Knight's) was almost nonexistent in the Comic Book; but is one of the main centerpieces of the DVD.

And to be honest, I loved it.

In the Special, you can actually feel Superman's uneasiness; but is his respect for Eisenhower and the Presidency of the United States, the thing that sets up his inner turmoil.

The whole thing plays out in the DVD. And the Special serves as a great bridge between New Frontier the Comic, and New Frontier the DVD.

Besides,

The Superman we saw in Dark Knight was a one dimensional government tool. The New Frontier Superman is a man that... well, let's just say that he emobodies the transition that is taking place during the 60's (and the story itself).

I certainly understand feeling overwhelmed by media hype. But the press coverage of the story is not the story. Being overwhelmed by hype can change your reaction to the story, but it can't change whether or not an event in the story constitutes an "organic, natural, character moment." Whether or not you had a boring American lit teacher can shape your reaction to The Sound and the Fury, but it doesn't affect whether or not it's a great novel. It is or it ain't, and that's of course up for debate.(And in the case of this Buffy ish, I tend to take with a grain of salt Greg B's original review, since he indicates that he doesn't read the comic and didn't follow the show, so his ability to address whether or not something is in character is suspect -- as he himself admits.)

He's a very good quarterback, but I don't think he's one of the top 5, or maybe even top 10, best ever. Of course, being in the top 15 is not a bad place to be! I'll actually miss him - he has that wonderful propensity to throw interceptions at crucial times!

And yes, you're right - for a while, Vick was far more overrated than Favre was!

You're right, Ryan - ClanDestine has been very enjoyable!

*cough*

Well, ClanDestine has been an enjoyable read thus far, right guys? Heh.

Like this one time, at Band Camp, when she stuck a flute... Oh, wait!!! That could've been Willow.

Never mind.

In any case, if "The Real World", Mardi Gras, Spring Break and "Girls Gone Wild" has taught me anything; it is that any girl, no matter how prudish, is always a couple of drinks away from "experimenting".

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Yes, there is evidence beyond anecdotes (although I've got those, too).

1) Roy Baumeister published an article in 2000 called "Gender differences in erotic plasticity: the female sex drive as socially flexible and responsive". He presents evidence that women's sexual identities are more fluid than men's (http://www.psy.fsu.edu/~baumeistertice/baumeister2000.pdf) That supports the idea that it's much easier for Buffy to sleep with a women without suddenly being (identified by herself or her culture as) a lesbian, than for Scott and Kurt to do the deed without turning into f4Gz0Rz.

2) Lisa Diamond published a paper in 2003 called "Was it a phase? Young women's relinquishment of lesbian/bisexual identities over a 5-year period" which found that 12% of their self-identified lesbian/bisexual women identified as heterosexual five years later (http://www.psych.utah.edu/people/faculty/diamond/Publications/Was%20it%20a%20Phase.pdf). That suggests that the LUG (lesbian until graduation) is not a figment of the oversexed male imagination.

3) An Australian study published in 2003 found that 2.2% of women identified as lesbian/bisexual but 15.1% reported same-sex attraction or experience (http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1467-842X.2003.tb00801.x). So more women report same-sex attraction/experience than identify as lesbian/bisexual (and the disparity is greater than for the analogous percentages among men). So, again, it's not crazy that Buffy could graze on the other side of the fence without identifying as lesbian.

...So, yeah, there's evidence, and it took ten minutes to find it on google (hint: searching for "same-sex" will get you a lot more reputable evidence than "lesbian").

Bestiality is where it's at, Whedon, you hack.

I suppose it comes down to how you would like to rate a players career. Is it by championships? Awards? Stats? Personality?

Living in Atlanta, Falcons fans have experience with one of the truly overrated QBs in history.

I don't always agree with your reviews or commentary but I don't think you are a moron.

I miss Greg's Grammar Guide. What are your thoughts on the serial comma?

I don't think he's any more or less overrated than Tom Brady, or certainly anyone with the last name Manning.

So, to recap: Greg Burgas is a moron. But I like his column, so I read it anyway. Gentlemen, even when one is an anonymous moron whose name rhymes with "Breg Gurgas," can disagree.
