Climb Every Brokeback Mountain

[Jackknife]

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.

Barry Manilow's Take On Brokeback Mountain

Brokebacabana (At The Brokeback) by Barry Manilow

His name was Ennis He was a Shepard With cowboy hat and assless chaps He should have kept it under wraps He would merengue and do the cha-cha And when he'd drink and fall asleep Jack Twist tended to the sheep Across the mountain heights They worked the summer nights They were young and they had each other And had rough sex fights

Up at Brokeback, Brokeback Mountain Those gay cowboys, they did some mounting Up at Brokeback, Brokeback Mountain They felt the passion as they discussed fashion Up at Brokeback

.... they fell in love Brokeback, Brokeback Mountain

He was the boss man He did some firing When he went to the mountain top And he saw Ennis getting bopped And when they finished, he fired them pronto Later Jack went a bit too far Gay bashers saw him at a bar And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two There was blood and a single gun shot But just who shot who?

Up at Brokeback, Brokeback Mountain Those gay cowboys, they did some mounting Up at Brokeback, Brokeback Mountain They felt the passion as they discussed fashion Up at Brokeback

.... he lost his love

His name was Ennis, he was a shepherd But that was a long time ago, when closets hid more than clothes Now gays have pride days, but not our Ennis Still in the chaps he used to wear, faded feathers in his hair He sits there so refined, and drinks himself half-blind He lost his Jack and he lost his family Taking it from behind!

Up at Brokeback, Brokeback Mountain Those gay cowboys, they did some mounting Up at Brokeback, Brokeback Mountain They felt the passion as they discussed fashion Up at Brokeback

.... don't fall in love

Don't fall in love

So So funny, thats what we need a good laugh now or then.

[weegee]

With the media shoving gay cowboys down our throats every 5 minutes, they should have expected a backlash.

When you look at those $30million receipts, you can figure that is less than 5 million people seeing the film in total, which is less than Rush Limbaugh's audience at any moment in his radio broadcast any day.

Gay flick gets range of jokesBy Jocelyn NoveckAssociated PressNEW YORK – Some of the “Top Ten Signs You’re a Gay Cowboy,” courtesy of David Letterman: •You enjoy ridin’, ropin’ and redecoratin’. •Instead of a saloon, you prefer a salon. •Native Americans refer to you as “Dances With Men.” Is the bottomless font of “Brokeback Mountain” humor – late-night monologues, fake Internet movie trailers, movie poster imitations – harmless and fun, or insulting? Most gay groups find it fairly benign, and note that in any case, the movie’s overwhelming publicity can only be a good thing. “Some of the humor may be insensitive, but even that has spurred positive conversation,” says Susanne Salkind of the Human Rights Campaign, the largest national gay rights group. But Matt Foreman, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, says he’s sick of it: “It may be funny, but there is a real element of homophobia. It’s making jabs about sex between gay men.” Jay Leno made at least 15 “Brokeback” jokes in January. Many were references to gay sex. One that wasn’t: “The cold weather continues to spread across the United States. In fact, down south it was so cold people were shaking like Jerry Falwell watching ‘Brokeback Mountain.’ ” The Internet is saturated with “Brokeback” imitations. One is a fake movie trailer called “Brokeback to the Future,” which uses edited shots from Michael J. Fox’s “Back to the Future” to make it look like Marty McFly and Dr. Emmett Brown are in love. There’s also “Top Gun 2: Brokeback Squadron,” with Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer. And then there are the poster imitations. Like “Kickback Mountain,” with the faces of indicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff and Rep. Tom DeLay superimposed over those of Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal. Andy Borowitz, author of The BorowitzReport.com, says people get insulted by everything – “so the safest bet is to make jokes about everything.” Of the movie’s iconic line, “I wish I knew how to quit you,” Borowitz says he’s “hoping it’ll become the new ‘Show me the money.’ ” Paul Rudnick, a playwright and comedy writer, sees the humor as coming from straight men who are both fascinated and uncomfortable with the content of the movie. “They’re not quite sure what to make of it,” says Rudnick, who is gay. “They know their wives are going to fall in love with the movie, and with the men in it.” Rudnick hasn’t written about “Brokeback” yet – but only because he’d have to find something really original. “Just joking about a gay cowboy isn’t enough anymore,” Rudnick says. “If you’re going to joke about it now, you really have to be up to the challenge.”
