Bce Cohen, el gran productor la ceremonia, el cidido ante homosexual que logr� que el all lato Los �ngel, Anton Villaraigosa, le sara n su amante Gabriel Catone, ha entendido o primordial que Javier Barm fuera tambi�n prentador la ceremonia. Y fue vlento y radil n su fensa, o productor 'Milk', que le hizo lograr otro Osr a Sean Penn o el gran l�r homosexual San Francis. Pero hay tantas revolucn en ta ceremonia que va a ser la m�s gay todos los tiempos.

Científis la Universidad Autónoma Méxi han dado hoy una noticia que no sorprendió a nadie: Ósr Rosa gay. Al parecer, tr dédas bar y manosear hombr no eran suficient para que el públi mexino creyera en la homosexualidad Ósr, probablemente porque López Dóriga jamás se pronunció al rpecto y todos saben que los mexinos no se creen nada si no lo dice la tele.
