Okay, WTF.

Male Co-worker (upon seeing my Meloni pic on my desk): So you're tight with the Meloni man, huh?
Me: Yep. He's my TV boyfriend.
Co-worker: Even though he got his big break as a sodomizing mass murderer?
Me: ...
Co-worker: What, you've never seen Oz?
Me: Um. Don't even.
Co-worker: What? That's what he was!
Me: If you're talking about Keller and Toby, you're wrong. He never raped him.
Co-worker: Oh please. He manipulated him into falling in love with him.
Me: But THEN he fell in love with TOBY.
Co-worker: AFTER the ass raping.
Me: THERE WAS NO RAPING.
Co-worker: Whatever. SVU has totally redeemed Meloni for me. He's awesome in that.
Me: >__<

Hi, please do not walk into my office and then shit all over my fandom and OTP, kthx.

pffffft

Man, every guy I talk to about Oz says the same things, though. I don't think they can see past it. You know that Seinfeld thing? I had a friend who was convinced that that was the epitome of what Oz was all about & he swore he loved the show :( Wtf right?

OY! At least you have the perfect icon for the occasion!

Your co-worker needs to have his eyes checked. And his brain.

Many guys understood better the ass-raping in S.1. Then got scared
to see that Toby, the man who had walked into OZ a straight guy they could identify with, changed his sexuality in S. 2 and 3.
They blamed Keller for that and hated him for it.
In their subconscious, they were terrified that something like that could happen to them, if they were in Toby's situation in jail.
I read this point in an essay about OZ.

That made me laugh reading it. Men are so dumb sometimes. I think you need to print out the icon and put *that* on your desk. But also: Meloni Man. Hee!

There are a thousand things wrong with this man's logic, I hardly know where to begin. So I'm just going to roll my eyes, shake my head, and roll my eyes some more.

How about this one..this happened a few years ago..the IT guy was sitting at my computer and was saying (out loud) he couldn't believe how many cookies were on my machine..a co-worker goes by at the same time and says.."I bet half of them are from "Oz" sites.

They know me much too well here. *smile*
