CHEYENNE, Wyoming (AP) -- Fans of "Brokeback Mountain" don't seem to care the movie was actually filmed in Canada.
They want the Wyoming experience.
The Wyoming Business Council's travel and tourism department has received hundreds of calls asking about scenery in the movie, which is based on Pulitzer Prize-winner Annie Proulx's short story about two gay Wyoming cowboys.
"When we tell them it was shot in Canada, they're still interested in Wyoming," said Michell Howard, manager of the council's film, arts and entertainment office. "They don't hang up and call Alberta. They're intrigued in the story."
Wyoming Business Council spokesman Chuck Coon said he hasn't seen a movie generate this much interest in the state during his 15 years with the travel and tourism department.

It's hilarious how the MSM can manufacture a "phenomenon" out of anything.
"Oh, lookie there, it's a trend."

They'll find the cowboys in the bars in Wyoming a little less friendly than the turd burglars in the movie.

"When we tell them it was shot in Canada, they're still interested in Wyoming."
When we tell them about women, they're still interested in dirty, nasty gay sex.
