seriousficJensen Ackles to star in reality TV show. You know Supernatural fandom? You know the expression 'pouring gas on a fire'? This is driving an oil tanker into a fire. After this, all it'll take is Mischa Collins coming out as a Teabagger and the riots will spill out onto the streets...
But just in case you need three horsemen of the wankcalypse, Jason Momoa has been cast as Conan. Which is actually surprisingly great casting. When you think about guys who can pull off 'got to be king by killing everyone else with a sword', Jason Momoa's pretty close to the top of the list. But still, it's a mixed-race man playing the most famous character of an infamously racist/homophobic/"'holy shit that's a lot of issues' said Rolling Stone" writer. Named Robert E. Howard, if you're not following. To put more of a point on it, Conan's a barbarian with pantherish speed, who disdains civilization, and spends a lot of time dub-conning 'pale-armed' maidens. And he's being played by a POC. Powder. Keg. I can't wait for someone to actually read one of the Conan stories. It's gonna be epic.
