Porn Watcher

This doesn't have anything to do with porn, exactly, but have you noticed how the newly released main-stream gay romance Bareback ... er ... Brokeback Mountain is being publicized? They're pushing it as a film for everyone, not just gay men, a romantic tragedy that's sure to be an Oscar contender. Okay, they aren't specifically trying to sell tickets to those of us who would prefer to sit home and jack-off to DVDs of hot, but fake "cowboys" having sex with each other. But the producers have to know we are their main audience, I mean just look at the casting. They couldn't have found two hunkier leads than Heath Ledger and the unbelievably handsome Jake Gyllenhaal. They could have cast guys, even stars, who look like the average cowboy, and no matter what your fantasies are whispering to you, we all know what most real cowboys look like, and it isn't Jake and Heath.

But also look at the photos the PR machine has released. And I mean, look closely. I've attached one below.

What caught your eye first? Heath or Jake's stunning faces? The cool old truck? The train whizzing by? Or was it Heath Ledger's basket! I mean, come on, have you ever seen the outline of a major star's cock that plainly in any publicity photo you've seen in the past? You can practically see every hair! Now, I like cut guys, so I suddenly have a new found interest in Heath, but come on.

It seems like a blatant subconscious (is that an oxymoron?) grasp at the gay porn loving audience. For all I know, his cock is air-brushed into the picture, but somehow I doubt it. I think the picture was set up that way specifically to market to a certain market, you and me.

So, yeah, I can't wait to see this movie.
