The book South Park Conservatives has some quotes from DU
members disillusioned by the Team America film:

"These guys lost me years ago when they trashed rain forest
preservation and biodiversity."

"It's a propaganda film--the title wants to make close-minded
people think America is so good for being 'World Police'."

"They poke fun at liberals BIG TIME!!!Nothing against ANY
right-wingers, ONLY LIBERALS!! Liberals are the butt of every joke and are even the villains in this. Oh & the liberals die a horrific death in this. TOTALLY bias! (sic)
I mean, c'mon, how can they NOT have a Bush puppet?...This film was very mean-spirited..."

I'm saddened that Hollyweird managed to spin one of Annie Proulx's great short stories into a homosexual masterpiece. If anyone wishes to be marginally enlightened to this 20th century author's great works, I suggest STARTING with Brokeback Mtn. Respect the original artform, for I disdain Hollyweird destroying the world of literature through their own perverted interpretations.

Years ago when I lived in Colorado in the '80's promoters scheduled the National Gay Rodeo either in Cheyenne or Laramie. The local county commission came up with a unique idea and banned the rodeo on the theory that mosquitoes would bite the gay cowboys and spectators then fly into town and bite the citizens, possible infecting them with AIDS. It worked, at least that summer.

"Gives new meaning to "cow poke"."

New phrase will be "bull poke."

I can't wait to read Frank Rich's rants against anyone who dares to find this movie less than brilliant. Christians take cover -- Rich's stink bomb attacks being prepared.

The Pro Bull Riders final was held yesterday and shown on OLN. I can't think of a group of men that look and act less like gays than that bunch of bull riders. Most are family men and many are quite religious and not afraid to show it in the arena.

Also I think the level of pain tolerance required to compete would weed out most gays. Gay rodeos have been few and far between probably for this reason.

I doubt they fathered the children with their significant others. So did they leave their families to go 'Bull Riding'?

What does that have to do with bull riding? Many are sons of former bull riders.

Their families are usually right there in the grand stand rooting them on.

By family men then you did not mean having their OWN family.

Whatever, Dude. My experiences with these topics are limited to riding an unbroken horse and having my prostate exam (I passed and I didn't even study for it). That being said, I suspect that riding in a rodeo would be a damn sight less painful than taking "meat in the seat."

Knee and riding hand injuries seem to dominate the types of injuries occurring, with groin, concussion, and general maulings from the bulls more rare. They have their own sports medicine team that deals with injuries at the event.

The guy who won the 2005 tour's wife is pregnant. The 2nd place Brazilian guy has a bunch of kids, the third place winner had a kid this year. Of course I'm not privy to the DNA tests.

Well, let me put your concerns to rest.

In the South Park episode in question, the "eating pudding" reference wasn't a metaphor. The cowboys were eating bowls of pudding.

I want to see Jarhead too. Also the Johnny Cash movie, Walk the Line.

Would like to see both, probably won't. Don't like to go to theaters.

I love it when a plan comes together.

There were more than one Bull rider in the finals riding with broken legs, broken arms and hands, sprains of all kinds. Last year a guy competed after he pulled the muscles off the humerous bone. They made up a splint to support the limb. That would hurt me real bad, but I'm only a girl.
Most won't take pain meds because it slows their reaction time.

"All hat, no cattle" is right on. Note how gay males are attracted to partners who play the roles of real-men types. This movie is just made by, for and with gays to promote their agenda. It will be the same type of hit they got with "Alexander"
