Not sure what to say really :erm: It's going a bit far in the name of entertainment/art.

Not for prudes:

I'm not sure what it tells us, other than the usual things about casual sex in the 21st C. He seems to be deliberately trying to shock, whereas good art, if it's going to shock, does so "accidently" but making us see or re-evaluate things.

Typical. If you can't get people to pay attention to you (due to lack of any genuine talent), turn their heads by doing something outrageous instead and interpret their shallow, passing interest in your antics as apreciation of your 'art'. I bet he was always the one with a wisecrack for the teacher when he was at school. :rolleyes:
