Sheepherders are NOT cowboys.

....and was the nation’s top grossing film per theater last week

My spinal column It was!

You've just given me new insight into the old western term, sodbusters.

[Supernatural]

Good!

I have some friends past and present in the military. I can tell you this, they wouldn't watch Broke Back Mountain if you hog tied them to a chair and sewed their eyelids opened.

It was the nation's top grossing gay cowboy film last week!

The military and gays don't mix well...

I can't think of a bigger lie than saying Brokeback is popular with normal audiences. It is definitely a "specialty" film.

nation’s top grossing film

"Grossing" is a very good word choice for this film.
I'll bet the guys over seas are grateful it's not coming their way! Whew!

Now, This is a cowboy

Brokeback Mountain got more free publicity than Star Wars. Sleazywood and our anti-Christian, anti-staight, anti-non-minorities, anti-American media REALLY, REALLY have been pushing said cowboy man-man love story.
It's grossed $31 million in six weeks, a mere 1/10 of the Narina movie or whatever the heck that's called.

Here's the deal: NO ONE wants to see two homosexuals in a love story. The love scene, I've heard, is so violent that's it's almost a rape scene. Ain't dat just terrific? Just what our troops want to eat their popcorn with. Yuck.

Speaking from the experience of an AAFES movie goer...let me set the stage for what happens when a "first run" movie is shown.
1) AAFES announces that on "such and such a date" an AAFES theater will be showing a certain movie, for arguments sake, lets say any Harry Potter movie.
2) The movie usually shows on a Friday night, the ticket office will open for "early ticket sales" at 1500-1630, a non-working friend will go buy a bunch of tickets for the rest of us.
3) We show up about 30 mins prior to show-time and there is still is a huge line for tickets!

Bottom line: Don't think anybodies unemployed spouses will be showing up early for early tix sales or there will be any long lines 30 mins prior!! to see "Bareback Mtn"

VERY cool graphic.

It should be simply because it is a gay movie. Gay movies should be banned in all public theaters. Homosexuality is inherently obscene and should only show in "adult" theaters which cater to such tastes.

Agreed.
Our media has lied to us yet again.
You're not shocked, are you? I'm not. Lol.
