...course, in adapting Sade's work for film, director Henri Xhonneux faces an obvious dilemma: how can one possibly depict the contents of a book like 120 Days of Sodom without the result being banned in every country on the globe? Xhonneux's solution is to hide his actors under elaborate animatronic masks not unlike those used in Jim Henson's "The Dark Crystal." No human faces appear in the film. And though Miss Piggy wasn't above making a few amorous overtures to Kermit, she surely never dreamed of carrying on as the pigs, dogs and cows of "Marquis...
...late a certain desperation has entered Koons' output -- or so one might judge from a series of paintings and sculptures titled Made in Heaven. They depict Koons having various forms of sex with his wife Ilona Staller, the Italian porn star-politician who rose to fame under the name Cicciolina.

Hence this handy device. Studies in the Balkan Department of Comparative Atrocity...
Opponents of the initiative would have you think differently and have invested over $5 million in a carefully crafted negative ad campaign. Using some of the most cynical rhetoric of this politics-as-sausage-making season, the "No on Three" campaign has attempted to depict the moderate ballot question as the embodiment of all the evils associated with legislation of this sort--President Bush with his repeated denunciations of the "spotted owl crowd" would be proud...
