Queer Eye For the Straight give me a fucking break

I know I'm behind, but bear with me. Owing to a constitutional inability to pay for television, I don't get cable. So an episode of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy last night was my first ever. I expected a Candid Camera-style reality show, with real gay men giving honest good advice to truly hopeless regular guys. But no. All I could think was: Who died and left these five middling, kitsch-mongering Martha Stewarts in charge of "sophistication"? Even I know better than to artfully place polished stones and scented candles around the apartment with the idea of impressing my girlfriend. Great God on a popsicle stick.

Of course, when I complained out loud, five women in the room instantly offered to improve my personal style. One or two of them are lesbians. There may be hope.
