You think we'll love you anyway?

Boyzone appeared on The Late Late Show tonight. I was channel hopping and when I saw "the lads" on the show I had to linger. I was hoping for a repeat of their first ever appearance and it was a bit disappointing. It was just as disturbing and just as desperate. In particular, watching a group of thirty-something men in a boyband and their interaction with Pat Kenny smacked of desperation! Although that just might have been desperation to leave.

Later on the show, Pat interviewed the two sons of a lesbian couple. The young men were so nice and spoke so intelligently about the normal relationship they have with their parents. The sons were articulate and didn't stoop to Pat Kenny's moronic interview style. They had a point to make and they made it. Sadly Pat Kenny was trying to present a divided society and kept pressing them for the negatives.

Pat took the show to new levels of idiocy when he prodded the lesbians for details of the children's conception. Displaying a remarkable lack of understanding of fertility and procreation, Pat seemed fixation on the hows rather than the whys. The ladies were clearly uncomfortable giving the details on live television so Pat pushed more.

"What's this I hear about a Turkey Baster?", asks Pat. " Ah, Pat!", the lesbian replies in dismay. Pat then goes on to make the rather stunning assertion that maybe couples having difficulty conceiving might benefit from this lesbian trick.

Pat clearly doesn't get it. And I don't get Pat.
