All quiet on the gay western front

Not wanting to give their foes free publicity, right-wing Christian groups say they won't boycott or picket "Brokeback Mountain."

    High-LAIR-ee-us

    Oliver Stone thinks that bisexuality ruined "Alexander"? That's so funny! I've invented a drinking game around "Alexander". Players must drink whenever:

    1. Angelina Jolie, playing Count Dracula, rolls an "r" so violently that you can almost see the camera shake.

    2. Colin Farrell's eyebrows change color or show considerable grow-out.

    3. Colin Farrell's hair changes color or shows considerable dark roots.

    4. Colin Farrell's chin quivers before he bursts into tears.

    5. Colin Farrell lusts after some man/tranny/woman-who-he-thinks-is-a-wild-animal.

    Players should not attempt to play this game using hard liquor (I recommend beer), or players will be drunk within a matter of minutes.

    Simpering, unrequited bisexual lusting was the least of that movie's problems. And hell - if the male characters had gotten to act upon that lust, I would have enjoyed it! There would have been no need for the drinking game.

    It's funny that this movie, Brokeback Mountain, is aimed at women. For weeks, my female coworkers and I have been making lists of the Hollywood actors that we'd like to pair up. I think they hit the nail right on the head - we're suckers for some guy-on-guy action.
