Billy Eichner’s Pissed at Ross

And now, the latest gay feud – and, happily, it doesn’t include me.  This one is between Ross Mathews and Billy Eichner.  From what I can piece together, Ross filmed a commercial for Capital One where he interviewed people on the street – a la Billy on the Street.  Eichner was less than thrilled: “Hey @CapitalOne & @HelloRoss – don’t steal from my fucking show.  This is stolen intellectual property.  FUCK YOU.  #Goodbye Ross”.  I think we’re throwing around the term “intellectual property” pretty liberally.  I mean, folks have been talking to people on the street since…well, since there were streets!  Eichner Tweeted again, and then Ross Tweeted: “@BillyEichner Are you serious?  I’ve been doing man on the street interviews since 2001.  I’ve never even seen your stuff.  Bless your heart.”  Of course, I don’t really believe that.  But, here’s where it gets juicy – Billy Tweeted back “@HelloRoss Perhaps u didn’t but ur new friends @CapitalOne certainly did as they reached out to my agents about this campaign.  HAPPY PRIDE.”  Well, if that is true, I give Eichner the edge.
