Director Lee said he was gratified at the reception both homosexual and heterosexual audiences have given "Brokeback Mountain," which has proven a steady box-office draw across the country.
"I didn't know there were so many gay people out there. Everywhere, they turn up," Lee said.
Really, what else is there to say?

Is Paris Hilton Batman?
This occurred to me last night. Bruce Wayne....the man behind the Batman mask pretends to be a playboy who doesn't care about anything. He acts totally vapid and clueless.
Remind you of anyone?
Of course Bruce Wayne never went to court over a sex tape being released.....
Ok it's not a perfect fit but it could happen. If anyone could be a Batman type it would be Paris Hilton. She has the money to afford the gadgets...of course she has the brain of a mentally retarded fetus.
Hmm maybe this wasn't very well thought out. Well she is physically fit. Hell people in Ethiopia would probably call her fat.
Yea I guess I was wrong. I must have been drinking.
Sorry about that.

Ice skating...
On Monday my wife and I flipped to Fox about 5 minutes before 24 started. We caught the ass end of "Skating with celebrities".
Now all obvious jokes about this aside...my wife asked me if I knew who one of the male ice skaters were. My reply:
"Sorry honey, I'm heterosexual. I don't know anything about ice skating."
"Why does it matter if your heterosexual? Being heterosexual means you can't know about ice skaters?"
"That's exactly what it means. Straight dudes do not watch ice skating. Straight dudes do not know anything about ice skating."
"I just know you have a lot of useless knowledge and thought you might know."
"My useless knowledge boundaries stop at ice skating."
She wasn't pleased. I find this funny that she was so annoyed by this. Sure I came across as smug, but what did she expect?
Straight guys don't know about ice skating. There is nothing manly about it. It's ballroom dancing on ice!
I asked some of my friends about this. All agreed.
Let this be a message to the ladies.

I don't need help monitoring content for my child...
I hate telemarketers. I hate a lot of things. People usually say hate is a strong word and I don't mean that.
I'm a fairly smart person. I understand what the word hate means. I know how strong a word it is.
That said, I HATE telemarketers.
I get a call at 7:30 last night. Why call my house at 7:30? I have a kid who is fighting me on sleep and I hate talking on the phone....that is unless you are a telemarketer....
Me: Hello? Hello? (Telemarketers use automated calling machines so it takes about 3 seconds for someone to realize the called party has answered)
Telemarketer (who sounds like a pissed off homo): HELLLOO?
Me: Yea hello.
TM: May I speak with the lady of the house?
Me: Who is this?
TM: I am calling from a charity about monitoring the content for children under the age of 16.
Me: My wife isn't here.
TM: I'll call back later.
At this point I'm intrigued and feel like messing with this guy. I don't need a group to monitor the content for my kid. I can change a channel with the best of them if there is something on I don't think my kid should be seeing, but I find people like this amusing.
Me: Wait a second I'm a father as well. Lets talk about this....
TM: I need to speak to the lady of the house, I'll call back later.
Me: Listen my man don't talk over me. I'm a father, why do you need to speak to my wife?
TM: We're not asking for money we are a charity organization. I'll call back later.
Me: You really don't have to.
TM: Fine.
Now why would they need to speak to my wife? Why wouldn't either parent do? Seems rather sexist huh?
Appeal to my wifes' maternal instincts to protect her child as opposed to my paternal ones? I found that very interesting. I tried to engage this guy. I tried to tell him I can change the channel for my kid if there is something offensive. (By the way I NEVER do this. The boy and I watched season 1 of the Sopranos when it was just him and I on my first week of vacation. He loved it.)
Ahh well. I guess the do not call list does not work huh?
