Katy Perry kissed a girl, and I didn't like it. The American singer didn't just kiss a girl, she wrote a song about it, sold millions of records and trivialised a pretty serious issue. And did I mention that she's straight?
Pretending to be a lesbian is suddenly cool. …
Who would have thought? Certainly no one who bought Perry's previous album, a collection of Christian gospel songs she, a daughter of Protestant pastors, released under the name Katy Hudson….
Cue an overnight makeover, some fauxmosexual lyrics, a masterfully manufactured image and behold! A new, improved and, it goes without saying, successful product.

Also, Dominique Purdy steals many scenes as a motormouthed rapper-breakdancer of little talent, Steve Monroe and Michael Fitzgibbon play a pair of hopeless roomies on the make and Mario Diaz stars in the funniest bit as a hetero construction worker who passes himself off as a "fauxmosexual" so he can score with a top-heavy female conquest (Juliette Long) at a gay bar.

HeeHeee…you and your faux-mosexuality!
