65405971Craigslist, the Sears catalogue of things for the homo, recently ran the following ad that Bradford Shellhammer found for Queerty, obviously while poring over the personals. Kidding. Maybe.

We're looking to cast five young male talents age 10-18 to act as FAB5 protege's on an episode of Queer Eye!

If you consider yourself fairly knowledgeable on any of the following fields: food, fashion, grooming, culture or design. Then send us your photo for consideration. This is your chance to strut your stuff and make over one of our straight guys!

If this is not you, but know someone who fits the bill, then nominate him! E-mail us at crodriguez@thequeereye.com. Include applicants name and phone number.

Commented Shellhammer: "Keep away from our nieces and nephews, you queens. We’re not scared you’ll turn them gay. We’re scared you’ll suck their souls."

Man, they are totally out to lunch at Bravo.

I actually had a little email exchange with Claire Rodriguez through craigslist regarding this insane idea. I am alarmed to say that this idiotic concept is for real.

I thought that the stereotype of the clueless, myopic television executive was just that, a stereotype, but considering her shocked response to my letter criticizing the use of children as queer "apprentices" I guess I thought wrong.

Children are famous for making bad decisions: shaving the cat when it's hot, putting sugar on Cap'n Crunch, jumping off the roof with an umbrella because it worked for Mary Poppins, etc. How could a kid know what they were getting into? What parent would possibly approve of this?

I knew I was queer when I was five, and I can tell you that I would have basked in the attention of five queer men. I can just see myself all precocious and mock-bitchy at age 10 or 11, high on Cap'n Crunch (with extra sugar) camping it up with Carson and Jai on cable. Then I can see getting the shit knocked out of me at school the day after the episode aired.

The person who came up with this concept probably pulls down six figures a year. They need to get out of the office more. At least run the concept by someone who actually has children.

Now where's my umbrella . . .
