Well, in news Americans already knew and simultaneously didn't care about, former American Idol swooner/crooner Clay Aiken is coming out as gay. He is also looking a bit puffy but that isn't the real point.
In an effort to keep himself in the news and somewhat fresh in people's minds, Aiken is taking to the cover of some shitty supermarket checkout "magazine" to announce what everyone already knew, that he likes dudes.
The real point here is why do we care? Why is this news? Clay Aiken, famous because he was a gangly singer on a TV show whose results may or may not be rigged, is as gay as Charles Nelson Reilly. He's as gay as Larry Craig. Aiken is as gay as... well you get the point.
Why are we, as a society, so enamored and polarized over someone's sexuality. Are we so bored or fed up with our own lives that we feel the need to escape and almost obsess over the lives of those who are on our TVs? Yes, I think we can all agree that Clay Aiken admitting what we already knew is mildly humorous/sad but what business is it of ours?
One thing to care about is great photography. It gives us something interesting and of value to obsess over and the best of the best from across Minnesota live at MinnPics!

OMG, too funny!!!
I just did my Charles Nelson Reilly impression. If you heard it - you'd be laughing.
Yes...the Gayken is shocking news. This news story got almost as much coverage as Hugh Hefner's announcement that he has not broken up with one of his girlfriends, she still sleeps in the same bed, she's not dating Chris Angel and one day she will date other people.
No shit Hugh, you are like 100...of course she will be dating other people some day, because you will have died.
Celebrities are strange people.
I could care less.
