Death for Funny or Die’s ‘The Gay Gang’

I sort of giggled at the beginning but felt like the overall tone of Funny or Die’s “The Gay Gang” comedy video was out of line. There was something unsettling about the way they portrayed the gay men as demonic sex fiends who will not take no for an answer when it comes to a cute straight guy . . . But who am I to talk? Give me a couple glasses of red and I’m determined to give the straight bouncer at The Junction head! He’s so cute, I make rhymes about him.

Are gays too entitled when it comes to straight men? Or is this video offensive? Probably both, which would be fine, if it were funnier. Unfortunately, it should Die a slow and painful death for the styling alone:
