brokeback, AFA, & WalMart – oh my!



hey kids – thanks to my friend MP – this little item below was brought to my attention – i swear don’t people have better things to do than protest the sale of a DVD? who has the time??? oh lordy – check out all the info below – oh i hate that AFA and founder donald wildmon – what a bunch of sorry ass losers…popbytes over & out for now…xxoo!

Wal-Mart has decided to sell Brokeback Mountain DVDs in all of its 3,900 locations despite the protests of the ultra-conservative American Family Association. The AFA has now launched a campaign accusing Wal-Mart of backing a pro-gay agenda; they’re also asking “concerned Christians to let their local Wal-Mart managers know how they feel and that they are not pleased over the chain’s decision to promote and carry the pro-homosexual movie.”



In the past, the AFA has been successful in pressuring companies to back away from anything deemed “pro-gay.” Given the size and influence of Wal-Mart, it would send an incredibly negative message (on many levels) if the AFA and its vocal members were to succeed in this case. So please take a moment to send some positive feedback to Wal-Mart about their decision to carry “Brokeback Mountain” on their shelves.

    That is crazy, I am glad wal-mart is selling it, I got my DVD from Rite-Aid … As far as the idiots at AFA saying Brokeback is not family friendly, I would sure as hell let my kid watch Brokeback before letting him see Passion of the christ (now that was a truly disturbing film lol)

    Everything the AFA does sounds like a damn joke. WTF? This is such a stupid debate.
    Wal-Mart has been carrying the book for months. And they carry many “pro-gay” DVD’s, including “Will and Grace”, “Sex and the City”, and “The Golden Girls”.
    Okay those are all TV shows. But anyway, Wal-Mart should carry any popular movie, regardless of the theme. In other news, Wal-Mart still is the evil empire, but I admire them for carrying the DVD.
    And I did take your advice and e-mailed them through their site. Damn, they ask for everything right down to your address and phone #. But I did my part :)

    i really wish the press wouldn’t pay attention to the AFA – without headlines they’d be nothing.
