Follow-up to my last post...

It occurs to me that many might not be familiar with the fact that cross-dressing is a time honoured British tradition, so I'll link you to this excellent article by AA Gill:

Invite your suburban neighbours to something as quaintly old-fashioned as a tarts-and-vicars party and, sure as rain on a bank holiday, the women will all come as Patrick Troughton from The Omen and the men will all totter along, bow-legged and cackling, as lamé-mini-skirted hookers, with a collection of balloons, pillows, fruit and balls shoved down the front of their borrowed Wonderbra.

Oh, and here's David Tennant upholding that tradition! :D

Just read the article, I am not surprised that Americans had that kind of reaction to cross dressing. Because really here you don't see it as a comedy, but as gays who dress up.
Odd how something that's totally innocent (more or less) in one country can be very controversial in another...
