The other day, as I gallantly strode down Internet Blvd., parasol in hand, I came upon a new Web site/blog/Internet TV show that I thought you might enjoy. I certainly do.

It’s called Cute With Chris and it features several things I love (seen here in this numbered list):

1. boys with bedhead
2. Canadian accents
3. pictures of puppies and kittens (although I mainly prefer the puppies), and
4. non sequiturs.

Here’s a recent episode:[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/NRpNyWRV8RU" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

It’s a fun show — kind of like those John Hodgman Mac ads had a baby with the people who do Cute Overload and they raised it on a steady diet of SCTV reruns.

The show’s been on for a while, so there’s a whole long backlog of shows for you to watch. Plus, if you have a newfangled iPod, you can download episodes from iTunes for free and watch them on public transportation.

Even I’m getting a little sick of me taking High School Musical too seriously. I promise after this I’ll direct my brain-beams at something a little more worthy. For example, The Pick-Up Artist is now officially my second-favorite reality show after Project Runway. What? Not brainy enough? [Side note: Four years ago, I never would've thought I could utter the phrase "second-favorite reality show." The thought of even watching one would make me break out in hives. Ah, how times change.]

So. Ryan Evans. Ryan, as I assume you know if you’ve made it this far in the post, is Sharpay’s super-sparkly, super-awesome, super-gay (coded) brother. This is the Disney Channel, after all, so none of the characters could actually be gay, but of all the likely candidates (cough-CRÈME BRÛLÉE-cough [another side note: Where's Crème Brûlée in movie #2? Is he at culinary school? What, is the actor too good for the Disney channel now? And jeebus, crème brûlée has a lot of accent marks]), Ryan is the most likeliest. And I think Disney is kind of okay with that.

So how does Disney tell us they’re okay with it, in their subtle way? It’s not the fact that he performs in the musical; Troy performs in the musical, and he is the epitome of Disney’s manly men. I mean, Troy totally wants to kiss Gabriella. Like, seriously. The fact that he keeps letting circumstances come between himself and the kiss doesn’t mean he’s not way into it.

It’s not the fact that Ryan loves jazz squares, either. That’s just his way of annoying his sister. And besides, jazz squares are awesome. As he so aptly put it, “Everyone loves a jazz square.” You can’t argue with that.

No, it’s not the musical or the jazz squares. It is, simply, and quite literally, that he wears a lot of hats.

They have some lovely sweaters.
