I can't watch the video, although I did read the article posted below it. How much of Brokeback Mountain do they show in the commercial? Or was it the reference Grandma made about the movie? :D

They don't show any of the movie, David.

In the commerical, a man is standing by the Christmas tree, and pounding his chest like a gorilla. Grandma looks at him, and takes a guess, and says "Is it Brokeback Mountain?"

anything. I dont see any reason at all that they made it...........??

Personally itseems as if it is a slur on BBM. It is as if they are contrasting the manly, manliness of the Great Escape, (which is always on the T.V at Xmas in the U.K) and inferring the men in BBM are somehow the polar opposite of that. It could of course just be me, being overly sensitive.

Hey, I'm all for BBM being mentioned in as many ways as possible, so folks don't forget about it as time moves on...
