Meanwhile, in England, the king marris off his homosexual son (Peter Hanly) to a French princess (Sophie Marceau). The prince's homosexuality, effeminacy and poltical weakness are all too conveniently tied together. "The mere sight of him would merely encourage the ememy to take over the whole country," scoffs his father. The prince spends the time he should be working by dressing up in elaborate robes to the admiration of his male friends...
That pretty much set the tone for the first annual EEE (or E3, as insiders call it), the new spring showcase for the latest and loudest in video-game software and hardware. It was not a pretty sight.
