Last night's 100th episode of "How I Met Your Mother" had plenty of gay highlights—a musical number, Tim Gunn, a yellow umbrella—but none gayer than out pin-up Neil Patrick Harris' shirtless scene. And he plays a hetero!
For those who don't know the show, Harris plays Barney, a chronic womanizer who is always wearing a suit. Last night, in his constant quest for tail, he gave up on his suits to try to score with a hot bartender. Of course, the suits came back to haunt him, while he is standing in his bedroom wearing only a towel. Yum! Here's the thing about NPH that drives me crazy. Sure, there may be guys with more perfect bodies on TV, but they're always straight, so no matter how good they look, it's like they're a statue behind the glass in a museum—we can look, but never touch. NPH is as gay as, well, a musical number about suits, which means that someday, maybe, through a strange confluence of events, we might actually have a shot of fucking him. For us, that makes him even hotter. But before that day comes, let's check out the goods, shall we?
