...shark devours Marlin's wife and 399 of her eggs. That leaves little Nemo (Alexander Gould)--the one survivor, handicapped with an underdeveloped fin--and Marlin, burdened with an overdeveloped sense of dread.

If you're going to look at naked women, you should have to deal with all the shame and secrecy and power dynamics that make it so wonderful. If you want to buy a lad magazine, you should have to reach toward the back of the rack in an immigrant-owned deli, where the owner's sacred and repressed culture makes you feel even worse about your purchase.
