"N" is non-gay

Moron Life did a Brokeback  parody called Brokepack Mountain.  It has a non-gay theme:  their cowboy wishes he could quit his Marlboros.


It was something casual
that became an addition....

Writing on the website Pajiba (pajiba.com), reviewer Jeremy C. Fox commented on pop culture's take on BBM: 

Since it was first announced in 2003, it’s generally been known as “that gay cowboy movie” — the film in which, for the first time, two handsome Hollywood stars on the rise would appear in an honest-to-God gay romance, the movie that would give us both the love that dare not speak its name and the sex scenes that Tom Hanks (in Philadelphia) and Colin Farrell (in both A Home at the End of the World and Alexander) dare not shoot — but calling Brokeback Mountain “that gay cowboy movie” is about as reductive as calling The Godfather “that mafia movie.”

"U" is unavoidably

An excerpt from a BBM review at LondonNet:

Marboro-Man Romance
Brokeback Mountain transforms a "gay cowboy drama" into a classic American love story...

Brokeback Mountain, immediately labeled "the gay cowboy drama" in media and public discourse, unavoidably carries with it more hot-button issues than any film should probably ever try to cover. The brilliance of this film, then, is that it doesn't bother trying to explain any of them.

Yes, this is a film about two men in love. Yes, those men work as ranch hands in a beautifully shot and realized Wyoming countryside. Yes, the film takes place in the socially, morally, and sexually suffocated society of the Marlboro-Man American West of the 1960s and 70s.

Despite and because of these facts, Brokeback Mountain avoids being lost in the slew of cultural debates it itself sparks by focusing simply and unapologetically on the love that two people share. The world around them, whether it be their wives or their shared cultural taboos, is not critiqued. Instead, it is presented for what it is: an unavoidable force in shaping and maintaining their relationship.

One of the videos on YouTube was used as a fund-raiser for the MS Society. Watch Brokebike Mountain.
