So, on my bus route home, there's this massive billboard advertising some internet dating agency. It's basically a row of little couples like those male and female silloettes you get on public toilets, but it's got two male siloettes wearing cowboy hats and one pink lady silloette and a clown. And I'm like, okay, Brokeback Mountain, I get it, but lest we forget, Jack dies horribly and Ennis ends up living in a trailer! How is that a fucking recommendation for a dating service? "Use us, and you too can be beaten to death on some dirt track by a bunch of angry tire iron-weilding yokels!" Oh goody! Sign me up for that. And a clown? Why, dear God, would you want to marry a clown? And why would you advertise it?
Seriously, people, think this stuff through. Otherwise I'll have to come along and make fun of you for it.
