BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN TOO EXPLICIT

For prison screening, anyway:
A Massachusetts correctional officer is being disciplined for showing the gay cowboy movie "Brokeback Mountain" to inmates at the state's largest prison because his boss determined that the film includes content inappropriate for a prison setting.

Massachusetts Department of Correction spokeswoman Diane Wiffin said Saturday that the action was not related to the critically acclaimed film's plot involving a gay love affair.

"It was not the subject matter. It was the graphic nature of sexually explicit scenes," Wiffin said.
Surely there must be a blanket prison ban on R-rated movies.

Don't know about you guys, but i find it hard to believe that jail birds and their guards would be shocked and appalled by displays of homosexuality.
