GOLDEN GLOBES GO GAY ALL THE WAY

Special Guest Dr. Ted Baehr is conducting talk show interviews, calling this year's Golden Globes awards, including best picture winner "Brokeback Mountain", "out of touch" with mainstream America.

The vast majority of winners this year had principle themes of sexual perversity, including homosexuality and transgenderism.

Said Dr. Baehr, "The Golden Globes winners have rarely been winners at the box office. In spite of the Golden Globes giving this year's top award to a homosexual cowboy film, when the smoke clears, it will not be a box office blockbuster."

"Instead, Baehr continued, "The Globes should have picked a film like Chronicles of Narnia, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or Madagascar. These are films the American public enjoyed. The views of the Golden Globes are just simply out of sync with America. The Golden Globe nominations have sought out perversity over entertaining or edifying filmmaking," quipped Baehr.

For a full, in-dep th comparison of this year's box office numbers to movies' moral and philosophical content, look for MOVIEGUIDE®'s 2006 Report to Hollywood, which will be released in February, 2006.
