Shakespeare VS Ovid
Pepperlandgirl4: Wow, this person must go absolutely fucking apoplectic when reading Shakespeare. "That goddamned hack ripped off Ovid!"
Suzycat: "Won't someone please think of Ovid's mental anguish at Shakespeare's character RAPEOMG!!"
Except it's probably really OK because I don't think Shakespeare made any of Ovid's precious, precious creations gay. And Ovid was out of copyright. Because all of this wank is *really* about Teh Law and Teh Homophobia, if you ask me.
Bakunina: Well, duh. Shakespeare made Ovid's precious, precious creations straight.
Suzycat: OMG homophobe!!!
Let's denounce that closet case!
(Fuck you, Lee Goldberg.)
