The movie is nothing more than an attack on a cultural icon, the manly cowboy. It is the cinimatic equivalent of the Left going, "Oh yeah? Nayyya, nayyya, nayyya! You think you are so macho, Mr. Conservative! Well, here!". It is like whizzing on the flag: protected speech, but no real American would do it.

Precisely. The occupation was picked for a reason.

I think another assault it makes is on the concept of non-sexual manly friendship-- it seems that male friends must equal homosexual relationship to the gay agenda.

You nailed it! Exactly what I thought when the movie first came out. An attack on another "American" Cultural Icon!
