Exhibit B: Smallville. No way they didn't ramp up the unintentional Clark/Lex slash in some of the later seasons.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

As another example, for the first 4 years the writers of Stargate: Atlantis were either oblivious to how slashy the relationship between the two male leads was, or in deep, DEEP denial about it.
Then I think people mentioned it too much at conventions for them not to see it and they made sure that the characters only had about 3 scenes together over the entire season, while pushing their favorite into the fastest paced out-of-the-blue unconvincing romance subplot I've ever seen.

All is well that ends in pizza.
In our break room, Fox News is often playing. I don't stay there long.
My brain would implode.

My brain would implode.
I get kind of passive-aggressive about it. If nobody else is there and Fox is on, I change it to CNN or just turn the tv off. But I have quite a lot of fairly conservative coworkers, so I can't be too overt about it. I don't want to get into an argument about politics in the workplace.

Sometimes I think having Fox news on in a room I am in feels like it is slowly draining my will to live.
Someone should do a study on Fox News in public places showing the duration of exposure vs loss of IQ. Is it a smooth downward curve or does it sharply accelerate during specific programs?

Did you not see the pilot? Because the slash was very present and intentional.

So is Agent Helo planning on telling his neighbor ALL the details about a pending FBI investigation?

Despite Agent Helo's incredulity, this is the second use of a doll that I can actually believe someone would pay that kind of cash for.
