Supposedly straight Man Accidentally Sees 'Sex and the City'

'Terrifying' Experience, Says Cigar Smuggler

(with apols to dave borowitz and his regular column but it was too perfect)

A self-styled heterosexual man from Pullenvale, Buttsville, Australia, said today that he was "traumatized" over the weekend after attending a showing of the new Sarah Jessica Parker film, "Sex and the City."

Robert Ayala, 51, said that he bought a ticket to the summer blockbuster "Iron Man" at his neighborhood multiplex but wandered into the theater showing "Sex and the City" instead.

"The minute the movie came on, I knew something was terribly, terribly wrong," he said.

Mr. Ayala, a smuggler from the Brisbane suburbs, said he tried to leave the theater immediately but was seated in the middle of a row, making it impossible to escape without causing commotion.

"Everyone around me was laughing their heads off and shouting 'You go, girl!'" he said. "It was terrifying."

A spokesman for New Line Cinema, the company that released "Sex and the City," said that the film grossed $55 million over the weekend but that Mr. Ayala was the only heterosexual man known to have seen it.

Friends of Mr. Ayala (ed: and here is where the whole gets unbelievable – friends? Where the hell did they find them? ed.) who spoke on condition of anonymity said that the Pullenvale man seemed shaken by the experience of seeing the movie and was concerned that others might now doubt his longstanding claim of being heterosexual.

Shrink, a professor of human sexuality at the University of Life and suspected long time associate of the smuggler, said that a straight man could attend a film such as "Sex and the City" without experiencing any change in his sexual identity. (ya think?)

"A heterosexual man could see that movie and remain heterosexual at its conclusion," Shrink said. "Having said that, it’s totally *** that he did that."

(this is a variation on today's borowitz report - www.borowitzreport.com - which is almost always worth a look).

Ken....do you actually have a job?

Seriously between posting this dribble as well as past efforts on such diverse topics such as sexually deviant dwarfs, homosexual aliens, male genitalia being caught in machinery etc etc....I wonder exactly what the hell you google.

Yes....you preface everything with "a mate sent this to me" but crikey..."if birds of a feather" holds true then you are in serious trouble ....as am I

Thanks for the wine, cigar and company this evening. I knew it was time to go once you put your fluffy slippers on because it was getting cold .....I have to take a picture of those slippers for the forum :cool:

I'm man enough to admit it- I love Sex & The City. Turned my wife on to the show & she loves it too now. It's a lot funnier if you've spent a lot of time in NYC, which I have. I'll wait for the DVD to come out though. I hate seeing movies in theatres because they are usually too damn loud. And this comment is from a guy who's played in rock bands since 1975!

This from a man whom elsewhere admitted to a fondness for wearing dresses

And I agree about the volume - I don't know why they insist on having the background

noise and music louder than the dialogue....

I would have thought the movie was Sex and the City. . .
