Dan Savage Goes Hollywood!

The inimitable Dan Savage, the snarky sex columnist and faggot extraordinaire, may be expanding his media empire. He announced on his blog today that he is negotiating with HBO to bring Savage Love to the small screen (or flat screen or big flat screen, depending on your media set-up). He of the infamous neologisms (santorum, etc.) and unapologetic impatience for the stupid will essentially be broadcasting his unique brand of sex education and advice. He writes, "'Savage Love,' the (potential) teevee show, 'will focus on current events and cultural trends with sex as the filter.' I'm hoping to bring a new kind of conversation to TV about sex—an honest conversation, one that's informed without being (too) wonky, funny without being (too) cruel, sexy without being (too) cheesy." But will there be nudity? It is HBO after all.

In any case, Savage will be taping the pilot for this latest attempt at world domination in Los Angeles next Thursday. You can get tickets to the taping by clicking here. Please note that you must be at least 21 years old to attend. Sounds like there might be nudity! C'mon Dan, don't be a stranger.
