Some of you might not know that there is a Norwegian version of "Queer Eye For The Straight Guy". They are not good. At all. Whereas the Fab Five are genuinely funny and charming, these guys are obviously trying sooo very hard to be their american counterparts that they loose any semblance of originality, wit or charm. And whereas the Fab Five might be playing up to gay sterotypes, the Norwegian Queer Eye crew are clearly acting. They come off as stilted and artificial, almost as parodies of themselves. It's painful to watch.
But the absolute worst part is this: These guys who are supposed to tell other people what to wear and how to look, have absolutely no sense of style. I'm going to try to link you to some pictures, although it might not work. You be the judge...
