...this crisis of an old order affected the product enormously. Puritan scruples lost out to Puritan money, with lots of nipples and buttocks and, by 1970, pubic hair incorporated into vile and violent attempts to recapture brutalized audiences...
...describes the code as "confusing and impractical." New York Theater Owner Walter Reade calls it "our Volstead Act" and wishes it the same end. There are even defectors from the censors' ranks.

It is like the TV show "Shindig," as the chorus groans antiphonally up to a very convincing orgasm. Lights out. That's demystification, allright, but it's also a pretty cheap trick to play on the Oedipus story...
