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.

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.
