Message From Starfleet Captain: The Center Of The Universe Has Been Discovered…And You’re Not It…

You know how it is that some Über heterosexuals just have this…overwhelming need…to project their cheapshit character flaws and emotional infirmities onto gays?  Yeah…it’s like that…

William Shatner goes on video rant over George Takei wedding snub

William Shatner is aiming his phaser at his former "Star Trek" colleague George Takei, calling him "sick" and "psychotic" in a YouTube rant.

Ticked off that Takei didn’t invite him to his recent California wedding, Shatner trashed the actor who played Mr. Sulu on the 1960s sci-fi series as if he were a villainous Klingon.

"The whole thing makes me feel badly, poor man," Shatner said in the video. "There is such a sickness there. It’s so patently obvious that there is a psychosis there. I don’t know what his original thing about me was."

"He has continued to speak badly about me for all these years," Shatner continued. "Obviously, hiding his homosexuality – talk about festering and not living the truth of your life and feeling badly about yourself – and being fearful somebody would find out about this terrible, terrible secret, so he thought."

Geeze Bill…Ego much?  I like the response of Takei’s spouse, Brad Altman…

Altman later told the News that the pair "definitely" sent an invitation to Shatner through his manager, Larry Thompson.

"Maybe he thought it was junk mail," Altman said. 

KaPow!  

And in other news…at least one happy gay man out there managed to land an Altman.  Not that I happen to know anyone by that name myself…precisely… 

  

Nice work George.  I’d be all smiles too…

    In that video, I see a Shatner that seems very hurt by not being invited to the wedding. I would think that if he was really that homophobic, it wouldn’t bother him a bit not to be invited, and probably would have turned DOWN any invitation.
    But what I see in the video isn’t Shatner saying that George is  "Psychotic" or sick BECAUSE of his sexuality, or as part and parcle of his sexuality, but rather a reference to whatever ‘personal’ problem those two must have had. I sensed empathy and even sympathy coming from Shatner towards George: He recognized what pain and suffering George was going through back then in feeling that he had to hide his sexuality…as many man performers have had to do through the years out of fear that it would end their careers.
    In short: I think that video and Shatners remarks about George are taken somewhat out of context.
    Especially considering the decades worth of rumors that Shatner himself is GAY!
    But a raging egomaniac? Yup, that is Shatner. However he DOES have a sense of humor about that and is quite self-depreciating about himself and lampoons his own egoism.
    I mean….just listen to his ALBUMS!
    Totally tongue in cheek stuff there!

    The irony of it all is that Kirk is the only character from the original Trek I never liked much; perhaps I was picking up on something subliminal.
