The pirate DVD version of Brokeback Mountain made it to Turkey before the offical screenings had a chance to, and evidently the title theyve gone with translates in Turkish to Faggot Cowboys. Reader Odradek shares with us this scan from local paper Radikal and comments This hopeless and disgusting name shows my cultures primal face. Its really bad.
It hurts like hell to be hit with those purses.
No gay shepherds here
Oh....but it's a story about love!
How many times has hollywood used that excuse to produce this kind of obscene crap.
"PRANCES WITH WOLVES"
IN REALITY:
I have heard about that, the movie is not officially released by the distributors in Turkey, the video that is titled "ibne kovboylar" is the illegal (pirate) version that is simply against the law.
The official title in Turkey is exact translation of the original.
I know because i live in Istanbul,TR by the way.
