Right? It was the first thing I thought of, at least, when I saw Postmates’ video, so I checked The Bottom’s Digest’s Instagram, and, sure enough, they had some thoughts on the news, too. The Bottom’s Digest isn’t huge, but surely it’s big enough on social media for one to expect that anyone launching a campaign around this exact idea would encounter it during the research phase. and these are recipes for anyone that wants to bottom, NOT just gay men.” It was started by husbands Alex Hall (AKA Chief Bottom Officer AKA Chief Eating Officer) and Mike Floeck last year and has been serving as an anal-sex-friendly eating guide for the internet ever since. Or, as the YouTube channel greets you, “Welcome to The Bottom's Digest you starving slut, the cooking show where I give you peachy clean recipes for a peachy clean time. The Bottom’s Digest is an online cooking show focused on, as the name implies, recipes for bottoms. On the other hand, it’s yet another example of a brand dipping into LGBTQ+ issues for its own gain.īut more than that, what’s really rubbing me the wrong way is that it feels like a direct copycat of something that already exists - The Bottom’s Digest.

And it involves people who actually feel relevant to the cause: gay writer and comedian Rob Anderson, best known for his video series Gay Science, and anal surgeon/sexual health expert/anal sex savant, Dr.
On the one hand, it’s kind of hilarious at face value and does address a struggle bottoms know all too well. The problem(s) - Now, please forgive me, a queer person, for having some conflicting feelings on this one. The video - featuring an eggplant decked out in leather and studs alongside a peach wearing a jockstrap - goes on to explain what foods to opt for and which to avoid in order to ensure “good, clean fun,” and notes that you can find such meals in your area by visiting Postmates’ Bottom-Friendly Menu.
It’s a menu - for people who like to be on the receiving end of anal sex! Gay rights! #EatWithPride.” Yes, you read that right: a Bottom-Friendly Menu. “You shouldn't miss a good meal for a good time,” Postmates tweeted, before revealing (and seemingly riffing on the Pride meme dominating the internet right now), “That’s why this Pride, we've teamed up with and to create the world’s first Bottom-Friendly Menu (yup, it’s real). On Thursday, food delivery service Postmates announced its latest initiative to support the LGBTQ+ community, and it’s… well, it’s really something. You can even call a dude gay, and it's not actually an insult to him, only to gay people.Corporate Pride has more or less been memed into oblivion at this point, but the ongoing discourse sure hasn’t stopped major companies from exploiting queer culture for those extra dollars come June. He's obsessed with himself, he's obsequious, he ignominiously sacrifices his dignity to advance his career, etc. It's just a roast, chill out. That's what makes it fun.

Or whatever, leave the jokes to the professionals, like Seth Rogen (" told me he worked for 36 hours straight, which I don’t believe. I personally only counted 25, but that's because I was too busy having sex with other men-just kidding. Ariane Lange at Buzzfeed counted 26 gay jokes on last night's Comedy Central Roast of James Franco.
