Pure Genius, revealed

This one comes via Defamer, the LA cousin of the fine peeps at Gawker. It's a head's up for anyone out there who might be interested in a little Brokeback Mountain memorabilia. It's actually a link through to an EBay auction for the piece pictured at right which the seller is calling a "One of a kind DOUBLE Oscar for Brokeback Mountain" (for reasons I'm sure I don't have to explain, obvs).

Defamer points out one obviously genius aspect to the statue, which lies in the fact that the statues lack any defining male reproductive organs, just like a "real" Oscar. But it's the hair that really gets me. It's like they're sporting some kind of 70s LA quasi-pornstar type of 'do, except they are so young that they can't even grow the mustache yet. It's like a young, gay, cherubim fest, gone western. But the oddest part is on the auction site where it says that the product's condition is "Used."

Wha?

Heath Ledger. Jake G. Small gold statuettes. A little math, and YO! Dude! Not so sweet! I might have to pass on this movie, people. Not that there's anything wrong with any of this, of course.
