I only mention this because a few years ago I watched RHPS on VH1. They actually pixellated the boobs of the Medusa-ray statues at the end. Presumably exposed plaster cast boobies would have offended the delicate sensibilities of RHPS fans.

Then again, I once attended a high school medley musical with Time Warp as one of the pieces. That was strange. I think RHPS is finally being entrenched as one of those aged edgy remembrances for the establishment to rehash and foist upon the world, with product placements for all. It took a while.

Hearing "Time Warp" played over the Wal-Mart PA/commercial/music system was very odd. Plus, there are few people at 2 am interested in jumping to the left.

They also played that "David Duchovny, why won't you love me?" song. I hadn't heard it before, so it was funny. Still odd choice, though.

I suppose the explanation might be simple: Maybe they just did market research on their midnight-5am crowd.

"To kiss and to hug me, debrief and debug me." God thats good.

I was in Taco Bell at 1:30am in '97 and they played "I put a spell on you" by Screamin' Jay Hawkins. It wasn't near Halloween-season, and its definitely not a lunchtime-crowd choice. It was very well received an heavily discussed by those present, including non-acquaintances at a neighboring table. We all came to a conclusion in accord with yours.

I find boobie-fear so primitive now. The newspaper I get here has new tits _every_ day. I tell people I read it cause the grammar is simple.

Maybe the remake is just a secondary effect of the writers strike.

Taking this to extremes, I understand that if you are completely incapable, you get subsidized sex services (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nina_de_Vries)? Interpolating, I guess it makes sense that low-literacy entitles you to boobies.

At any rate, it is the most awesome excuse ever. Kudos.
