It's an obsession with the New York Post.
Like so:
Yes, over a dozen pictures of this lunatic, carefully chosen by some gay staffer, to show off McGregor's package. The fight with Mayweather? Not important. Going through photo files to find BULGE pictures? VITAL.
Vital to attracting a gay audience to the New York Post's website.
The New York Post is supposed to be a NEWSPAPER. It's supposed to publish NEWS.
But now that sales on the newsstand are down, and more and more people ride to work surfing the Net, they're BEEFING up their online content. With INFOTAINMENT. Very GAY infotainment.
"Not that there's anything wrong with that." Or is it? One must applaud the NY Post for hiring gays and putting them in power positions to play the gay card. This is no different than pushing a Black columnist at the NY Daily News (Shaun King) when there are no columns especially for Asian, Jewish or even Muslim readers.
But...there used to be a phrase called "prurient interest." It was a definition of obscenity. If somebody is showing you "prurient" images, designed to call your attention to things you wouldn't normally be looking at, that's "obscene." Put it this way, probably 90% of the Post's audience weren't thinking, "Gee, what I'd really like is to look at some MMA fighter's junk." The "in yer face" NY Post does it anyway, even if it's not NEWS.
Yes, we see endless rear-end pictures of fat ass Kardashian, and the tabloids routinely run "wardrobe malfunctions" and talk about how Katy "rocks" a bikini or some Jenner or other is "showing lots of skin." But it's usually NEWS of some kind. That's what female celebs do. They go to an event, wear (or nearly wear) something, and count on the NEWSpapers to run photos.
McGregor was not expecting some gay guy at the Post to cull through every press conference and check every angle, to find the most lurid pictures of him showing what might be McGregor and might be mostly jockstrap or protective cup. This is quite different from those "ooh, isn't he cut" beach pictures of Justin Bieber or some other idiot. I mean, there's gay in small letters and GAY in capitals. There's stuff you don't want to see, and stuff you REALLY DON'T WANT TO SEE.
Meanwhile, over at the NY Daily News, Shaun King was probably sulking, "They didn't check through the files and look for pictures of Mayweather's junk?"
As for the before and after pix of Bruce and Caitlyn, "let's not go there, artificial girlfriend."
