Anyway, they take Christian to this house, only it's not really a house but a big inflatable dome. Of course it's a phallic symbol, silly. Isn't everything? The Touchables keep Christian prisoner and make love to him. Women are such wretches, aren't they? I mean, they can only think of one thing. The end? Well, the wrestlers fight it out-divine-Christian goes to Hollywood, the girls get nothing, and their dome deflates...
...cool that they did it, but they went a little too far," one B.U. student said yesterday. He felt that the most questionable feature was the cartoon: "An Essay on Eating a Banana In Public," which employed the banana as a phallic symbol.

He also made a drawing of a "proposed colossal monument" for Chicago showing
...novels and films of Genet which discuss homosexuality create a mystique stressing physical strength and masculinity, ignoring the feminine mannerisms we associate with theatrical homosexual archetype: his lyrical phallic montage, Un Chant D'Amour; is in its own strange fashion one of the most intense statements of masculine potency on film. While Genet assaults his audience with one or another shocking perversion, he is also telling them that abnormality does not, in the last analysis, exist and sexual perversion, regardless of its nature, is as divine a form of love as those more commonly sanctioned...
