Taking a moment out from being middle aged ...

I like to roll my eyes and shake my head in a superior manner when Young People of my acquaintance talk about things like Twitter and online polls. Mostly because I am still bitter about low levels of involvement in actual real world politics (they need us to pay close attention if they are to act remotely responsibly, people!), but also because it usually involves people I have never heard of, which makes me feel old and miserable.

NOT THIS TIME! John Barrowman and Neil Patrick Harris are fighting it out for the title of Gay Man of the Decade, using Twitter as their battlefield. Read a fabulous round-up of the story here at AfterElton. Felicia Day, Nathan Fillion and Neil Gaiman have all weighed in on the debate, but not as amusingly as the AE writer. Worth it for the pix alone.

As to the winner, well, they're both excellent.

LOL! That's absolutely hilarious~! I love them both but I've been a fan of NPH since his Doogie Howser days so my vote has to go to him. Still, I can't wait to see who will come out in support of JB once the day really gets going in the UK.

I do like NPH a great deal, on and off screen. What they need is one of those 1970s variety shows where they both team up for friendly rivalry shown in song and dance!

YES! this is exactly what needs to happen.

Thanks for the fun link. i ended up voting for NPH because I really admire all the community work he does. But it was a tough call between him and Ian.
