| Summary: | "In this hilarious collection, popular culture is served up with a wickedly funny gay twist. Nothing is off-limits. Nothing is sacred. In fact, complete and total destruction is encouraged." "Within these pages Wilma and Betty finally get it on. As do Batman and the Boy Wonder. Not to mention Scrooge and Marley. Lesbian romance novels, cruises, and films are skewered. Cinderella's prince is shown to be a queen--a size queen, that is. The ex-straight movement is bashed, then bashed again. So is Larry Kramer. Dorian Gray is exposed as a sleazy, self-obsessed gay porn star nicknamed Beelzebubblebutt. Chandler comes out. Agent Scully comes out. Agent Mulder comes out. Othello comes out--on Ricki Lake, no less. Xena and Gabrielle finally confess their love (with a little help from Wonder Woman). And Hemingway and Kerouac--those literary icons of masculinity--admit that, yes, they really do prefer the company of men." "All told, Wilma Loves Betty contains 43 sidesplitting parodies lambasting television, movies, literature, religion, politics, people, and more. Book jacket."--Jacket. |
