"No dude, independent films are those black and white hippie movies. They're always about gay cowboys eating pudding."

This reminds me of a time way back when it wasn't politically incorrect to make fun of such things. Here is a great example of such.

In the schools around town here, the kids are now calling everything that has homosexual overtones "Brokeback".

“What greater American icons are there than gay men and cowboys? When you mix the two, it’s a stereotype too good to pass by.’’

Gay men are not an American icon.

“Not only is it the first mainstream gay love story in a long time...

Thus far, 2.3% of Americans have paid to see this crap. That hardly makes it mainstream.

In the USA Today story, gay actor and writer Bruce Vilanch called the movie an “irresistible’’ target for parody. “Not only is it the first mainstream gay love story in a long time, it’s between two cowboys,’’ Vilanch said. “What greater American icons are there than gay men and cowboys? When you mix the two, it’s a stereotype too good to pass by.’’

This, coming from a "man" who, looking like this, HAS to make fun of himself and his ilk.

I think I heard Rush say today that Brokeback Mountain was nominated for a number of Oscars, including "best score." 'Bout drove off the highway when I heard that....
