Brokeback to the Future

There a number of parodies out there focusing on Brokeback Mountain. Some would say that they are insensitive...that they are making fun of a lifestyle...promoting homophobia...creating a venue for laughing at, criticizing and downplaying the message of the movie...I think that are just plain funny. Many times in American societal history, we laugh and make fun of things that we don't understand. We all do it. Sure some people will find that insensitive or wrong, but in my eyes it's better to laugh and discuss then to put it back in the closet, out of sight and out of mind. It's how we handle things...laughter cuts through barriers and allows us to have an emotion, any emotion, about a certain topic. Laughing makes it ok, to discuss a topic that is taboo to society. It is our crutch to lean on when we discuss things that we don't understand. The laughter will fade away soon enough. And what will be left will be a concept, idea, or in this case, lifestyle, that doesn't seem so foreign or funny any more. So while we are still laughing and making jokes check out this trailer for Brokeback to the Future. Soon enough, it won't be so funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfODSPIYwpQ
