The P.K. Chronicle

Back during my first go-around at Eastern Michigan University, for about a year and a half, i had a roomey by the name of Patrick Kelley Morgan. He was a card, to say the least, and it would take me a day & a half to explain him. Needless to say (especially after reading this), he had a damn good sense of humor. He later transferred to the University of Michigan and got involved in the theater, landing a spot in Hamlet. This exchange appeared in the editorial section of The Michigan Three Weekly, an Onion-esque rag that U of M runs on the net. Apparently someone saw an ad for the Hamlet show in which P.K. Morgan looked "so gay", so P.K. had to set the guy straight.

Here is the original letter: {link}
Did you happen to look at the ad for Hamlet on the back of your last issue. While that guy probably is gay, does he have to look so gay? I understand that you are most likely funded by MSA and you might have to make some extra money on the side by advertising, but come on. Also, look at the girl in the middle. I don't remember any midgets being in Hamlet, she's so short. If you don't cut this crap out I will continue to complain to myself. Also, why don't you see what you can do about getting pictures of naked chicks in your next issue.


And here is P.K.'s retort: {link}
i was shocked and not a little alarmed when i read mike phillips' rhetorically masterful letter to the editor (last issue) in which he noted that not only did i look gay in the hamlet poster, but "so gay". i suppose i could handle looking "a little bit" gay or "somewhat gay" or maybe even just plain "gay", but this level of gayness is (as I am told by various "rather gay" sources) quite rare. it is all the stranger, then, that this echelon of homosexual seeming has been attained by a straight man. mike phillips can rest assured that in an effort to look "less gay" i will get a haircut like him and no longer wear shiny black ass pants. I am also certain that the rude mechanicals will, in the future, make every effort to ensure that their posters are "less gay". It's the least we can do, dude.
