So, the whole Jay Leno episode appears to have snowballed since I last reported on it.

Not only has Whitty’s letter been making the viral rounds, but it has spawned a Web site chock full of people offering their “gayest looks” to Leno. And by “gayest looks” I mean pictures of themselves giving him the finger.

Take a look. The flipped birds aren’t usually as subtle as the one seen on the right, though.

Not necessarily the most dignified approach to showing Leno and the good folks at NBC that we don’t approve of this kind of behavior, but I appreciate the directness.

Meanwhile, poor Ryan Phillippe is doing damage control — going on big old lesbian Ellen’s show to disconnect himself from the drama and doing a very carefully choreographed discussion on his gay soap opera character without mentioning the Leno flap.

I just found half a roll of thin mints in my freezer!  Awesome!
