 THE SCRAP MEDAL for Hens with Headphones goes to Claude Mailhot (left) and Alain Goldberg (right) who made multiple tag-team remarks insinuating American figure skater Johnny Weir's costumes and mannerisms were too gay. Obviously here at Cap'n Wacky's Boatload of Fun we're not above making cheap jokes about someone's appearance, but these two chuckleheads weren't in it for laffs, they were in it for spite. Let me make sure I've got this straight: you guys are two men commenting on figure skating while making a bunch of catty remarks about fashion choices, and Johnny's the one that's too queer? You two snippy queens are like the gay version of Statler and Waldorf from the Muppet Show! Honestly, where do either one of these moonfaces get off making fun of anyone's appearance? Especially Mailhot there. His head is so round and so white that if you stuck a carrot in his face, you'd have no idea he wasn't a snowman. Goldberg hissed that Weir's mannerisms might discourage parents from wanting their sons to be figure skaters, saying, "they'll think all the boys who skate will end up like him." "Like him," Goldberg? You mean a world class athlete? Yeah, that would be terrible. It's like worrying that if your kids go into journalism they'd end up like you: bitter old fatasses.
