Shakespearean Women: You Need a Sassy Gay Friend

Hooray for perpetuating stereotypes. Well, some of the time - when they aren't harmful, and when they are funny, especially when they involve men saying "betch."

As an avid Shakespeare afficionado, well, at least as someone who is dating one, I've often wanted to slap some smarts into quite a few of the Bard's damsels. Now, my feministic concerns are voiced, only in a much funnier way: by members of Second City Theater Troupe, as they shake some sense into Shakespeare's women in their amazing "Sassy Gay Friend" shorts. So far, there are three, one for Hamlet, Othello, and Romeo and Juliet, enjoy!

I don't know what's funnier... the sketches, or the fact that the sassy gay friend looks way too much like Josh Homme.
