Taking a moment out from being middle aged ...

[blamebrampton]

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.

But this is fundamentally unserious, isn't it. I mean, leave aside that it's Lads Only (were they afraid UA Fanthorpe shd sweep the poll?), one cannot really take seriously such a poll in which, by way of example, Tatchell, Fry, Dale, Boles, and Alan Bennett are absent, can one.

I was thinking about the list, and decided that some people may have been excluded for the same reason that The Queen is often left off the list of 'Most Influential' whatevers: they exist on a level that is above and outside what the listmakers can conceive.

Sir Ian was a safe vote for me.
