There has been a lot of commotion about Jiri Tlusty, the Maple Leaf’s rookie who had a nude photo posted on the internet. This site alone now has brought it up more then once. With Facebook, myspace, and all the other web 2.0-style social sites, it doesn’t take long to spread this stuff around. You would think he was Britney Spears or Nick Lachey based on the general interest. Maybe people are thankful to turn their attention to someone new for a day or two, especially if they let their wang hang out. Nick: expose the hog, brother, and maybe you’ll top Jiri Tlusty.

Doing a quick search through blogs, etc., there are a lot of people talking about this in the context of homosexuality. Touching tongues with some other guy undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. I don’t care to speculate on whether or not Jiri Tlusty is gay, or the relative gayness of his photos. However, on the timely topic of Gay Maple Leafs, I listened to an interview on CBC this morning with filmmaker Laurie Lynd regarding his new movie, Breakfast With Scot, which features a closted gay ex-Maple Leafs player. Apparently, this is the first time any NHL logo has been ALLOWED to be associated with a movie featuring a gay character. Its 2007 – that took quite a while.

Globe and Mail: Stick-handling a touchy subject

I am Canadian, a Hockey Fan, and follow the Maple Leafs religiously. Imagine my surprise when I go to Technocrati, click on ‘popular’ and Leafs Rookie Jiri Tlusty tops the list. I figure I’m just tired, sip some coffee, and refresh. He’s still there. A few clicks later, I know why.

Apparently, young Mr. Tlusty took some nude photos of himself, and they made their way onto the internet. There are plenty of articles to check out. Here’s one from the Toronto Star:

Tlusty says sorry for nude pictures on Internet

Looks like all of the blog speculation circles around whether or not he’s gay. That should be a blast in the locker room. Young gay hockey player must be a popular search right now.

Honestly, I didn’t think everyone was interested in his lack of defense that let Montreal Canadians forward Alexei Kovalev score the tying goal last night…
