And the cultural phenomenon continues

So, the president has been asked about Brokeback Mountain, and the Producers' Guild has named it Best Picture, and a "pet boutique" in L.A. has a window display called "Barkback Mountain" where "The window's canine mannequins — one in a hunter's parka, the other in a fisherman's sweater — huddle around a faux campfire, accompanied by squeaky squirrel toys, migrating geese and two clearly unused fishing rods."

And the Google search results count for the exact phrase "Brokeback Mountain" is now up to 31,900,000. Two weeks ago tomorrow it was only 12,800,000 (and that seemed like a lot at the time).
