The Prince of... Where Was It Again?

Watch the video first...

That's right. The surviving gay cowboy is the Prince of Persia. Persia. Gee... was that country in the west... Or the Orient? No... Hmmm... But Jake Gyl-Brokeback Cowboy #2 is white... And Persia... doesn't exactly have people THAT fair-skinned. What is going on here?!

Alright, feigned stupidity aside, this is exactly what Paul Mooney warned us about in his segment "Mooney on Movies" on the Chappelle show ages ago. First, they did The Mexican , starring Brad Pitt. Then they did the Last Samurai, starring Tom Cruise. And I quote, from Mr. Mooney himself, "Maybe I'll write a film and then Hollywood would produce it - The Last Nigger on Earth, starring Tom Hanks". Hehehehehe...

Seriously... When will Hollywood get it straight? Prince of Persia starring Brokeback Cowboy #2. Yeah, sure. However, despite this little, how do we say... indiscrepancy, I am pretty stoked to see how this film turns out. Let's see if they can get the transition from video game to film right this time.

Peace out y'all.
