Just wonder how bad this will get twisted around the facts.
Hmm, I don't recall hearing them making the public aware of the dangers of the activities depicted in Brokeback Mountain.
I didn't see the movie, and don't plan to, but I would imagine if it is indeed a "cowboy movie" then there ought to be plenty of cigarette smoking and guns, along with all that gay sex. I wonder which of these activities the EIC would find the most dangerous?
I'm sure they'd have a certifiably PC response.
'dog.
Yea, Those farts are a killer[:D]
yea really, didn't they eat alot of beans on the trail!!!!![:p]
Thanks anyways, I'll stick with conventional wisdom as my guide. Hollyweird needs to fix its own problems, and not worry about anyone else's problems.
I just wish everyone would stop referring to them as cowboys. It degrades the mere thought of cowboys as an unique American icon .[8D]
From what I hear, their pants are around their ankles for most of the movie.
And by the way, this thread has become hilariously out of control. [8D]
