The Sound of Muzik :Brokeback Bambi

Reading blogs is a whole stream of consciousness-like thing. You start off on your blogroll and a post takes you somewhere else and from there you move onto another blog and another topic. But you know that. Anyway I wound up atThe Sound of Muzik A very amusing place with a great post about Brokeback Mountain and Bambi 2. Read Brokeback Bambi
Is it my imagination or has the 50 year old fawn discovered the fountain of youth? Maybe he has the same doctor as Michael Jackson. Maybe it’s because he’s a deer but his dad is an ELK. I don’t want to appear to be a bigot but I think this is a little sick. It would be acceptable if his mom was a white tail and his dad was a mule deer but no…they’re barely in the same genus.
Elk are Cervus elaphus while deer are Odocoileus virginianus …so I think Bambi is a Cerv∙us Virgin∙i∙anus and I doubt an animal like that should appear in a children’s story.

…and what about that movie Brokeback Mountain? This is a movie where a couple cowboys share a bedroll not because they’re freezing to death but because they like it…a lot. A little known historical fact: there were no gay cowboys. The gay guys took up careers like undertaking and tailoring but Brokeback Mountain just made the old west bit wilder. I just can’t buy into the story of a cowboy putting his gun in another man’s holster.
Check them out.

On another note, people have been showing up here at Dane Bramage after searching for "I would Rather Hunt With Dick Cheney, Than Drive With Ted Kennedy". Welcome! Another search string that is still bringing them in is "naked nuns". Welcome and seek help.
