More Moments of Gay Zen

rainbow_flag_smiley_gay_and_lesbian_pride_custom_sports_watch_new_f2d9d51bWhen I saw a listing for a cable show called Insane Coaster Wars, I turned it on, because I assumed it was a program about people who collect decorative or unusual coasters. It was about roller coasters, so I immediately stopped watching.
