Taiwan President Chen Shui Bian thinks _Brokeback Mountain_ is a good analogy to describe relations between Taiwan and the USA (I kid you not: “story here”:http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2006/02/24/2003294381). He urged both sides to reconcile, to reach the “great new world”, in which “challenges abound on this road ahead, as long as we believe in the value of this common mission and in ourselves, there is no obstacle too great or mountain too high”.
How gay is that? “Wonkette”:http://www.wonkette.com/politics/taiwan/because-taiwan-is-always-getting-screwed-by-the-us-156760.php thinks Taiwan must be Jake, because Taiwan is always getting screwed by Heath Ledger (i.e. the United States).
I can’t help but see flashes of George Bush and Ah-Bian getting it on on a Texas ranch or a Hualian farm; imagery which has understandably caused some degree of mental incapacitation, so I regret to say I’m not able to bring this analogy any further.
_Eww._
