[chookie]

I saw a prominent display for the upcoming release of the Brokeback Mountain DVD at WalMart today. That's pretty darned mainstream.

1. This thing could have gone into the stratosphere

if only the academy had had a pair. They killed a good thing in order to give a safe award to an average movie.

2. walmart only cares for money.

When they talk of 'values', the only one has a big-ass $ in it.

They can sell what they want, but to also claim they are pro-morals and hang around the fundie crowd... they look pretty darn silly, what with having two faces and all...

You want two heads on you body
And you've got two mirrors in your hand.
Priests are made of brick with gold crosses on a stick
and your nose is too small for this land.
Inside your head is your town
inside your room your jail
inside your mouth the elephants trunk and booze,
the only key to your bail

Coda:
Want two heads on your body
and you've got two mirrors in your hand

Two heads can be put together.
And you can fill both your feet with sand.
Noone will know you've gutted your mind
but what will you do with your bloody hands?
Your lions are fighting with chairs,
your arms are incredibly fat;
Your women are tired of dying alive
if you've had any women at that.

Wearing your comb like an ax in your head
List'ning for signs of life;
Children are sucking on stone and lead
And chasing their hoops with a knife;
New breasts and jewels for the girl,
Keep them polished and shining;
Put a lock on her belly at night, sweet life,
For no child of mine. (Go to Coda)

4. They still sell "Grand Theft Auto"

A few aisles down from the profanity-purged music.

You cannot get any "explicit lyric" CDs at Walmart, but....

Heads are exploding amongst the Xtian right.
