"I like to get Brock up to play a couple songs, the trouble is in getting him off the stage when the couple songs are done!" - Kris Demeanor, Singer/songwriter

Family values... dammit! · 2 March 06

Freaky advocates of “family values” suddenly have a good reason to love gay cowboys.

Among the movies up for this year’s Oscar – best picture award, “Brokeback Mountain” looks rather sissy when judged by FamilyMediaGuide.com, which gives out grades to movies, video games and TV shows based on the amounts of profanity, sex, violence and smoking they depict.

“Crash” contains 182 swear-words compared to only 92 curses in “Brokeback Mountain.” If “Crash” wins the best picture Oscar it will be the third most profane winner ever. The other two sweary-films being “Platoon” (329 expletives) and “The Deer Hunter” (208 cusses).

“Munich” is the most violent, “Good Night, and Good Luck” is the most smoky, and “Brokeback” is the most sexy (“Crash” comes a close sexy second).

It is interesting to note that FamilyMediaGuide.com also claims all five nominees contain 45% less sex and 31% less profanity but a 65% increase in violence and 313% rise in tobacco use from last year’s top 5.
