Podcast from Planet Unicorn
By Michael Ciriaco • Posted: March 10th, 2008
If you found a magic lamp and were granted three wishes, what would you wish for? World peace? (Who are you, Mother Teresea?) To feed the hungry? (Who are you, Bono?) To become the most powerful man in the world? (Who are you, Hilary Clinton?) If you’re an 8-year-old gay boy named Shannon, you’d wish for a flying car, a fur jacket… and a planet full of unicorns. Thus is the genesis of Planet Unicorn.
The creation of queer viral videographer Mike Rose, the animated web series Planet Unicorn features the non-adventures of three gay unicorns: Feathers, Cadillac, and the aptly named Tom Cruise (Voiced by Drew Droege, Mike Rose, and Tyler Spiers, respectively). Those accustomed to most gay-themed web content may be surprised to find Planet Unicorn is completely devoid of sexual situations. Remember, a prepubescent gay boy dreamed up this world. The result is a series of benign morality tales lacking deep plots or traditional jokes. The humor is rooted in the sincere, faggoty delivery of the characters dialogue. It’s a ‘must see’ for any homo stoner with internet access. And keep your cyber-eyes peeled for Rose and Spier’s newest project Cleveland’s Next Top Model.
