We Found Our Chinese Haunt: The Dali Gay Bar

In an attempt to counter a rapidly rising AIDS rate, the Chinese government has actually done something cool: opened a government-funded gay bar in Dali, one of the ten Chinese cities most affected by the disease.

The bar will offer free condoms, sex ed and a proper watering hole for the area’s gays, many of whom are from rural villages, and “used to gather in a patch of woods near the historic town.” Not to linger on the past, but hanging out in a patch of woods without mushrooms or a cooler/tent/bonfire or elf leader just makes us sad.

Anyway, this is awesome progress and we’re psyched! But enough jibber-jabber. When do we drink???

Paging Sarah Silverman

Last week, Daily Show co-creator Lizz Winstead had past DOTW Moe Tkacik and Tkacik’s fellow Jezebel editor Tracie Egan on Winstead’s show, Thinking and Drinking. (Moe is seated on the left, and Tracie, next to her).

Here’s what happens when “unfunny” is mistaken for “edgy”:

Oooh! RAPE JOKES!

Today, Jezebel’s managing editor Anna Holmes wrote that the drunken ramblings of Moe “Date-Rape Is No Biggie” Tkacik and Tracie “I’ve Never Been Raped Because I’m Smarter Than You” were “a fucking shame.“

And, for once, we actually find ourselves in agreement with Jezebel. Weird!
