Beware of the Mountain
Internet Movie Data Base imdb.com reported yesterday that the AFA, American Family Association, was petitioning Wal-Mart to remove DVD copies of Brokeback Mountain from the shelves because, and I quote, it pushes the "gay agenda". If people buy this movie from Wal-Mart and are surprised by the content, maybe they should research what they're spending their fifteen dollars on. I once worked for a video store and I cannot tell you the numerous times people would rent movies and the content would shock them, for any number of reasons, and the box would tell everything about the movie they needed to know. I should research how many movies, stores like this, have carried violent movies that were marketed at a teen or pre-teen demographic and wonder if anyone will ever care about the digestion of gratuitous violence of our youth.
