Us Perverts Thought of that First
Michael Savage, the conservative radio talk show host, is a jackass, and he’s a little slow on the uptake. He thinks Brokeback Mountain is “disgusting” and “vile filth” and that every Hollywood movie “is about a sexual deviant, or a pervert, or about somebody who hates America, or a corrupt businessman” — read excerpts of his rant here — and to that end he’s trying to kick up trouble by renaming the movie Bareback Mounting.
Dude, we called it. That’s exactly what Annie Wagner titled her review three weeks before you came up with your pun. Although she thought the movie was “a gorgeous love story,” “fierce and convincing.”

I'm pretty sure Michael Savage has nothing personally invested in what he says, and is basically a parody of a right-wing "personality" who spews whatever crap he thinks people will tune into hear. I believe there are a number of radio hosts who do the same thing. If Michael-Moore style left wing rants were all the rage, he'd be first in line for a show on the evils of GWB and his ilk.
