Article on Brokeback Mountain humor:

There are some thoughtful comments near the end on whether some of the jokes about the movie mask an underlying homophobia, though they are generally presented as a positive sign. They also reprint Letterman's Top 10 List (without commenting on whether people *other* than gays, such as Native Americans, might be offended) - but I have to admit it's funnier than a lot of his lists have been lately:
Top 10 Signs You Are a Gay Cowboy
10. Your saddle is Versace.
9. Instead of Home on the Range, you sing It's Raining Men
8. You enjoy ridin', ropin' and redecoratin'.
7. Sold your livestock to buy tickets to Mamma Mia!
6. After watching reruns of Gunsmoke, you have to take a cold shower.
5. Native Americans refer to you as Dances With Men.
4. You've been lassoed more times than most steers.
3. You're wearing chaps, yet your "ranch" is in Chelsea.
2. Instead of a saloon, you prefer a salon.
1. You love riding, but you don't have a horse.
David Letterman's Top 10
Oh, and I liked the poster redone with Bert and Ernie as Jack and Ennis.
