If this werent funny I'd be pissed!
A Florida company known for its "faith-based" clothing line has begun distributing a T-shirt that uses "Brokeback Mountain" to condemn gays.
The T-shirts depict an angry Moses on Mount Sinai looking down on a group of ancient Israelites and modern gay cowboys who are dancing around an idol of the biblical Golden Calf.
The caption on the T-shirts reads "In his anger, Moses BROKE the two tablets of stone that the Ten Commandments were written on while walking BACK down the MOUNTAIN."
The T-shirts also bear the message "The Original 10 Commandments, BrokeBack on the Mountain".
The T-shirts are made by Second Coming Clothing Co.
"The message is the same now as it was at the time of Moses, company CEO Rick Wade said in a statement, "that God’s covenant is broken with His people, God’s heart is broken for His people, and that judgment is coming prior to the return of the Lord, which is soon."
The company's products are sold in Christian stores across the country and marketed under the slogan "Take Your Faith Out of the Closet, and Put Our Clothes Back In".
Wade said that 100 percent of the company’s net profit will go to faith-based organizations.
"Brokeback Mountain", the gay love story of two cowboys, has been nominated for eight Academy Awards.

There is hate everywhere. It's good to laugh it off. It's good to ignore it. It's more sad to me than funny. People can be such ignoramouses (if that is a word).
Jody, I swear to God, there are people I know personally who were offended by Brokeback Mountain. These are people who call themselves liberals and enlightened. In all honesty, it has hurt my friendship with them. I feel embarassed to hang out with people who are so closed-minded...

i guess im not shocked that people were offended by BBM there are some people who are so insecure about their own being that inorder to feel whole they have to set people outside thier realm of normal. i am shocked that liberals would have that view, but i guess the disease of insecurity isnt bothered with political affiliation.
