I received this Youtube post from quite a few people today to this videoblog series called "The & Show". I remember being told about the show a few months ago since I knew some of the people behind it. I looked through a few of the episodes and…well…to quote Akil from Jurassic 5, "I ain't hating, I just heard better." I dunno. Maybe it's a New York thing. Maybe it's an "I'm better than you because…" sort of overzealous, pretentious aire throughout the whole video. Or maybe it's hard to nail down a point in this rambling dialogue between the two because it mostly comes off as half gossip and half pig fat. But like Jared says in this videoblog, "sometimes your attitude can make you completely ugly". And "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Yeah…I'll just leave that there and back away slowly. Don't want to smell up the joint. Technorati Tags: videoblog, youtube, gay men, ugly, superficial, the and show Filed under: Miscellaneous Comments:

Hey there…its been awhile since I've commented, but I had to speak up on this. I have the same experience in my introduction of The & Show. I tried to watch the first couple of episodes but I couldn't get passed the first 10 minutes…and I tried…because I was asked to.
You're right, it IS a New York thing. The NYC GAYS have run amok. Their sense of community seems skewed and relying only on looks, fashion, parties and sex. I know I'm not there anymore but even my friends who are say things are not the same as when I left. The & Show is living proof.
The problem, I believe, was illustrated in one of the first episodes. One host busted the other out, on camera, saying his motivation was merely fame. This was something that I'd said long before youtube even existed; The NYC GAYS just wanna be "famous."

This was… interesting to say the least. I don't think they ever got around their burning question of why some people think other people are "ugly." In fact, it almost seems like this videoblog was a feedback loop in that the hosts served as examples for what they were talking (if you get what I mean). Usually I like their videos, but this one has a certain arrogance about it…

I agree with Dre. Was this supposed to be an attempt at irony? Because there's a lot of ugly going on in that clip.
The idea could've worked if it was clever. But they basically come off sounding like a couple of keekee-ing queens at a house party.
Gotta love YouTube. Anybody can feel famous for any reason (or none at all).

I love how they play Beyonce at the beginning.
Gee, I never would've thought of that….

Not all of us in NYC are shallow and superficial. But yes, there are far too many who are. Far too many.

umm….what was that trash? If you're gonna clown people for being looking bad, at least be attractive yourself. Objectively speaking, both Jared and Nathan are rather unattractive, so it amuses me that they're so critical of others' physical appearance. Superficial, hypocritical and unintelligent. Now that's ugly.

give these girls a sony digital camera and some photoshop filter tricks and they act a DAMN mess…..foolishness….I hate when people are "deeply shallow"…give me my 2 minutes of life back…(I had to cut this mess short!)

Some azz needs to be beat for sure…..The whole clip was a mess and coming from two just average looking guys… you have to be kidding. However this is a common thing in todays gay culture were one tries to bing them self up by trying to look and be not ugly only to have ones bubble busted. This video should be a prime example of how not to be if you are gay.
