AFA Is Angry at Wal-Mart for Selling Brokeback Mountain

Randy Sharp, director of special projects for the Mississippi-based American Family Association, says the movie -- despite winning three Academy Awards earlier this month -- is not "family-friendly." And it does not belong on the shelves of a store that has marketed itself to middle America, he adds.

Two questions:

1. Is Brokeback Mountain really the most offensive thing that Wal-Mart sells?

2. Am I allowed to shop at Target, or is Target still in trouble for declaring "War on Christmas"?

So Brokeback Mountain (which I haven't seen yet, if that matters) isn't family friendly. But hunting rifles, knives, rap cds, shoot-em-up video games, beer and singing deer heads are?

I guess it's because you can kill animals, play Nintendo and drink beer with family.
