Tips, passive-aggressive poses are so post-secondary. And for the record, I’ve not been to grad school. Yet. Appreciate the flattery, tho. I’ll buy you a drink next time.

@woodsy: You’re right. Henceforth, only those with post-grad work in Gender Studies may comment on the original Kade caption post.

Apart from Philebrity’s sanctimonious appeal for classiness, I find it rather amusing that whoever wrote this post engages in the same kind of homophobia it purports to declaim against by belittling people who identify as gay with its own brand of flippant put-downs. But what’s really funny is that I find this kind of behavior happening over and over again with guys who are insecure about certain issues and find it necessary to orientalize “the gays” while asserting their own membership in the “straights.” No one asked if you were straight, but okay, sure…

And I think the itinerary of said date should be as follows: drinks at Atlantis / Space 1026 art event / Kung-Fu Necktie show

chuck: make it into a sociological experiment in whether douchiness can be cured. Arthur can be Philebrity’s own Eliza Doolittle.

Or maybe he can just start dating Alycia Lane and make everyone’s head explode.

I’m calling it right now…there HAS to be a “win a date with Arthur Kade” contest either on this site or at the Philebrity Holiday Pageant. The dude would totally be up for it. Some how, some way, you have to bring him into the fold. Yes, he’s overly self-involved, trying to make himself into an actor / celeb. So what? Who cares? His M.O. might be shallow but, really, no harm / no foul.

yeah, right . . .

there’s a lot of things repulsive about the Kade blog, including some of the comments

but the worst thing is that Arthur Kade doesn’t edit or remove these more vicious comments

it’s a horrible Philadelphian petri dish of loathing (and it’s hard to look away). so typical

I think that people were just trying to speak in douche.

Yeah, aren’t you supposed to describe the rules of the game BEFORE play gets started? I’m especially bitter for having been disqualified after making what I believe to be the best (and by best I mean worst) of the now out of bounds, tasteless comments about AK’s sexual orientation. Dang.

Upon inviting your readers to unleash their uglier impulses on such an obviously addled human being, did you guys really expect a thread full of mature, conscientious taunts?

Class. Right. Way to draw the line.
