I can't watch the video Jess, so I have no idea what is going on. So I voted "What? I don't get it?"

It will be interesting to see what others have to say about it.

injest:
it is two cowboys sitting at a bar...talking about the weather..the one is dressed a lot like Jack and looks a LITTLE like him..talks about 'losing half the herd" then they ask for sprinkles for their pancakes...

Oh I've seen that commercial! I don't think it has anything to do with Brokeback Mountain, does it? I never made that connection. I just figured it was two very butch, rough and tough cowboys asking for something cute and non masculine for breakfast.

I'll have to watch it again with this poll as a reference and form my opinion again. Now that I think about it, the commercial does resemble Jack and Ennis's bar scene at the beginning of the movie, but I don't think the producers of the commercial intended it to reflect Brokeback Mountain... do you?

Kerry:
I voted "Mockery."  I see it as not only directly and indisputably mocking "Brokeback Mountain" but also being overtly homophobic. I didn't like it.  For what it's worth, little ole girly me would prefer the butch breakfast, thank you very much.  Having said all that, however, I can see that someone who actually has a sense of humour (unlike me at the moment) might actually find it amusing.
